"Africa isn't just catching up - it's leapfrogging, getting ahead of other countries."

@DomSchiener, Co-Founder of IOTA, on the opportunity ADAPT represents for Africa to build world-leading digital trade infrastructure.

[Stefan @iota_penguin]

What’s hard to grasp is the scale of what is being built here.

This is about establishing the digital and institutional foundation for how trade, identity, data and payments could move across Africa for decades to come.

And every trusted interaction, document exchange, identity verification and settlement flow will ultimately anchor on the IOTA L1.

This is what moving beyond pure crypto speculation looks like: becoming infrastructure for real economic coordination and global trade.

[IOTA @iota]

Kenya, Nigeria, and Morocco have been selected as the first countries to implement ADAPT - the Africa Digital Access and Public Infrastructure for Trade initiative.

The IOTA Mainnet just got a major consensus upgrade.
Starfish is now live.

Global trade still runs on paper.
Why is that a massive systemic risk?

A single shipment often requires 200+ document copies moving across dozens of parties.

If one document is lost, delayed or mismatched, cargo can’t be released. The entire shipments get stuck.

Paper often travels slower than goods, so containers arrive before documents, creating costly delays.

Manual processing introduces errors that trigger compliance issues and halt transactions.

Document fraud remains a persistent risks in high-value trade flows.

Banks, customs, insurers and carriers all rely on the same physical paperwork to verify trust. This creates a fragmented system where coordination is slow and visibility is limited.

@TWINGlobalOrg addresses this by digitalizing trade workflows and connecting all parties on shared infrastructure.

Powered by @iota, it enables secure, low-cost and verifiable data exchange across global trade.

IOTA is now available on @Bullish digital asset exchange!

This is a major milestone for IOTA’s global access and for long-term institutional adoption.

Action, speed & bold new journeys. The Year of the Fire Horse is here 🐎🔥

That’s IOTA right now as we build the future of trust and global trade. Thank you to our community worldwide for your unwavering support, wishing you a Happy Lunar New Year 🧧

[Dominik Schiener @DomSchiener]

In my 15 year career in crypto, I’ve seen our industry go through cycles of hype, noise and speculation, but also genuine, exciting and impactful innovation. One of the most important lessons is that you will only prevail in this market if you have profound conviction.

We have been on the market for 10 years with IOTA. It has certainly been a wild ride, with extreme highs and lows, but one thing has never changed: Our commitment to bring the real world onchain.

I am proud to share the IOTA Manifesto with you all, our blueprint for how we are moving beyond the speculative crypto markets to conquer a Blue Ocean opportunity worth $35 Trillion: Global Trade.

With this manifesto, I wanted to detail exactly how we are executing our strategy of full vertical integration—from trade digitization to digital identity and trade finance.

We have an incredibly exciting but also challenging journey in front of us. Together with our partners and our ecosystem we are here to build the technologies that will create real positive change around the world.

If you are concerned about your $IOTA investment.

Take a breath.

Think about how the biggest Free Trade Area by participants is betting their future on $IOTA for trade digitization and facilitation.

IOTA is going to be the backbone of Global Trade.

[TWIN Foundation @TWINGlobalOrg]

The 1.0 release of our Reference Architecture whitepaper cements TWIN as a neutral backbone for global trade.

By leveraging open standards and decentralized trust built on @IOTA, it ensures transparency, data sovereignty, and seamless exchange across borders. ⤵️

If global trade and digital trust resonate with you, this is worth watching 👀

[Karen OBrien @bondjanebond]

Really enjoyed this discussion with @CoinDesk on the Gen C Podcast with @SamEwen The “boring” work > trade, supply chains, infrastructure is where blockchain delivers real, lasting value.
At @iota we're building the backbone of global trade and supply chain > a $35 trillion industry.

After over 2 years of development, 1 year of public testnet release and security reviews, and large scale ecosystem development together with our community to build up an entire ecosystem, we are today finally unleashing #IOTA's next chapter 👇

IOTA is now officially EVM compatible 🚀

We are launching it with an entire ecosystem, dozens of #DeFi dApps, infrastructure, bridges, wallets and other integrations. Many dApps from other ecosystems are moving over, and new tokens will launch. We are at the start of something truly exciting with IOTA.

No matter what you think of IOTA, one thing is clear that we will never stop building. We have been in this market since 2015, and will continue to be here to realize the full potential of Blockchain.

We are here to bring the real world to Web3.

Join us on this journey as we charter into Web3 and build up our DeFi, RWA tokenization and DePIN ecosystems 👏
