@iota@DomSchiener@DomSchiener IOTA Successfully Completed the European Blockchain PCP back in 2024, what happened next... Did this actually gain any traction and come into fruition?
@iota@DomSchiener@DomSchiener Q2 report noted a 33% node storage reduction. Are there active discussions with participating gov entities (AfCFTA, UK border, TradeMark Africa) to run their own IOTA validator nodes? Sovereign entities securing consensus is the ultimate proof of trust.
@iota@DomSchiener@DomSchiener Great seeing ADAPT (Kenya/Morocco/Nigeria) & UK pilots scale. What's the realistic timeline for these state actors to move from "pilots" to sustained, daily Mainnet gas consumption? Are they using the Gas Station for fiat-to-token background buys yet?
In 2018, one of the world's most ambitious (permissioned) blockchain initiatives for global trade launched with enormous backing from industry leaders. It promised to digitize supply chains and transform international trade.
4 years later, it was shut down.
Not because blockchain failed.
It failed because trust cannot be engineered through technology alone.
When critical infrastructure is perceived to be controlled by one commercial player, network effects become nearly impossible. Competitors hesitate to participate, governance is questioned and adoption stalls before the platform can deliver its value.
The lesson is that global trade requires neutral and independently governed infrastructure.
That's exactly our approach behind @TWINGlobalOrg, running on @iota, a decentralized blockchain infrastructure with 10+ years of proven development.
Rather than creating another closed platform, TWIN provides shared digital infrastructure connecting trade data and digital identities across existing ecosystems. Without requiring a single company to own or control the network.
Trade is built on collaboration. The infrastructure supporting it should be too.
We are already working with governments on digital trade initiatives across 8+ countries and interest continues to grow.
The momentum we are seeing reinforces our belief that neutral infrastructure connecting existing trade systems will play an increasingly important role as digital trade scales globally.
⚠️ALERT: ANTHROPIC ACCUSED OF HIDING "SPYWARE-LIKE" CODE INSIDE CLAUDE
A new report claims Claude Code quietly checks if users may be connecting from China-linked routes, using signals like proxy settings, timezones and custom API links.
For context, Anthropic already blocks China-linked access to Claude over legal, regulatory and security concerns.
Instead of showing a normal security check, Claude Code hides the signal inside the system prompt by slightly changing the “Today’s date is…” line.
The report does not prove file theft, but it raises concerns over hidden fingerprinting inside an AI coding tool trusted with developer workspaces.
33% Node Cut & ADAPT 🌍
Node storage is cut by 1/3, lowering validator costs.
This powers the pan-African ADAPT corridor, now live in Kenya, Morocco & Nigeria.

🚨 WARNING: 92% OF EUROPE'S CRYPTO INDUSTRY WILL DISAPPEAR BY TOMORROW.
🇪🇺 Only 244 crypto firms have secured a MiCA license ahead of tomorrow’s deadline.
Europe previously had more than 3,000 registered crypto companies.
That means roughly 92% are still not fully authorized under MiCA.
Starting July 1, firms without a license must stop serving EU users or face enforcement.
This marks one of the biggest regulatory shake-ups in crypto EVER.
