Genau das ist der Schlüssel, man muss nicht versuchen auf andere Länder aufzuschließen, es muss das Ziel sein sie zu überholen.
Hier werden klare Ziele verfolgt.
Weiter so. 💪

We had a great meeting yesterday to discuss ADAPT. Learn more about this crucial initiative in our recent blogpost: https://t.co/TTuPARhnoP

A big challenge with enterprise and government adoption in global trade is that the most visible metrics often come last.
Onchain activity matters. But before you get there, there are other signals of progress:
• Partnerships signed
• Trade corridors enabled
• Governments onboarded
• Systems integrated
• Documents digitized
• Compliance workflows implemented
• Trade finance unlocked

Enterprise adoption typically follows a path:
Partnerships → Pilots → Implementations → Adoption → Scale
👉The question isn't whether these initiatives create value. The question is: what evidence shows that a project is moving from concept to implementation and toward scale, even before the full impact is visible?

Hi all 👋 Sharing a research note I put together recently — on how the Mysticeti consensus protocol diverged into Sui's Mysticeti V2 and our own Starfish at @IOTA. I used LLMs to help structure the technical narrative and the result was surprisingly clear, so sharing both the method and the content.

The starting point: Mysticeti v1's betDrop explicit certification, let the DAG structure itself act as a "virtual certificate," and push BFT latency down to the theoretical lower bound of 3 message delays. This buys extremely low latency — but the cost is two open gaps: liveness lacks a rigorous proof, and dissemination is fragile at scale.

The two diverging paths
Sui → Mysticeti V2: Concludes the consensus core is already near-optimal, and instead targets the pre-consensus transaction validation that sits outside consensus — optimizing for happy-path latency.

IOTA → Starfish: Concludes the core's dissemination / liveness is the actual problem, and uses erasure coding + DAC to put the certificate back into the core in a cheaper form.

Really appreciate technical notes like this. 👏
Strong write-up for developers who want to better understand the evolution from Mysticeti to Starfish and the architectural thinking behind both approaches.

In an ideal world, a port can trust where the data comes from.

Not because someone said so.
Because the origin, the authenticity, and the integrity of the data can be proven on-chain.

过去很长一段时间里，Web3 都传颂着一套绝对去中心化和对抗主权的叙事，市场也颇为买账

但现实是残酷的，当叙事层次上的自嗨撞上主权国家的国家机器，轻则雁过拔毛，重则被锤出屎来

- 被黑灰产奉为圭臬的 Tornado Cash 2022 年遭美国财政部铁拳制裁，两名核心创始人面临 5 年监禁或更长的刑期

- 市值万年前五的 Ripple 20-24 年与 SEC 持续拉锯，最终被判处 1.25 亿美元巨额民事罚款，数亿法务成本和浪费掉的时间成本，让生态元气大伤

- TON 曾计划开启全球规模最大的 ICO，主网上线前夕遭到 SEC 紧急限制令强行叫停，最终创始人被迫放弃项目，向投资者退还 12 亿美元，并支付 1850 万美元罚金，宏大叙事彻底流产

类似的案例不胜枚举，技术可以去中心化，但团队不可能去中心化，项目也根本无法和国家机器对抗

因此抱国家大腿，和监管机构媾和，并不是退让反而是一种应当奉行的务实心态

在这方面，同为元老级项目的 IOTA 其实就做的非常不错

IOTA 它及早放弃了去中心化无政府主义的幻想，转而全力重塑为一套能够嵌入传统金融和政府治理的底层基础设施

- 中东合规桥头堡： 设立受严格监管的 IOTA 基金会，拿到阿联酋贸易科技基金 1 亿美元支持，专攻代币化贸易金融

- 国际组织共建： 联合世界经济论坛等机构共建 TWIN 全球贸易网络，让英国、东非的贸易数字化试点真正跑在链上，甚至让英国政府多名官员全职派驻长达 12 个月

- 非洲三国国家级合作： 官宣的 ADAPT 计划将肯尼亚、摩洛哥、尼日利亚定为首批实施国，由非洲自贸区秘书处联合推动，经过了政治承诺、监管准备度等多维度严格筛选

值得一提的是，在 ADAPT 计划中选择这三个国家，并非随机拼盘，而是看中了它们在数字化转型上的互补性

- 尼日利亚作为非洲第一大经济体，拥有庞大的市场体量和极高的加密渗透率

- 摩洛哥则是非洲数字化程度最高、基础设施最成熟的标杆

- 肯尼亚作为移动支付鼻祖，全民对数字资产有着天然的接受度

体量、技术、渗透率的精细组合，配合各国政府明确的政治承诺，让 IOTA 得以在一个确定性极高的沙盒内，运行起跨境贸易清结算的合规飞轮

这三板斧下来，大大减少了被主权机构猛锤的可能性

提前在中东、欧洲和非洲卡好支付层与身份层的位置，可以说 IOTA 很早就预测到了全球监管会全面加速的局面

🧐 IOTA ( iota:native ) 基金会 宣布签下 3个 非洲国家 的合作，作为 ADAPT 的首批试验性国家

最近 IOTA @iota 签下 肯尼亚（非洲移动支付渗透率最高）、摩洛哥（数字治理最成熟）、尼日利亚（非洲最大经济体）几个非洲国家，成为 ADAPT 的首批试验国

ADAPT 是 非洲大陆自贸区数字化进程的一部分，覆盖 54 个国家，13亿 人口，GDP 约 3.4 万亿美元

1️⃣ ADAPT 要做什么？

1、数字身份：给企业、个人、商品发布电子许可凭证

2、跨境数据交换：让原产地证明、海关申报、物流信息在不同国家间，无缝流转

3、跨国支付互通：让不同国家的支付系统互联互通，并同步测试稳定币的跨境监管框架

而 IOTA 正是为 以上三层，提供「账本层」服务

2️⃣ 可能是获得最多 政府合作 的区块链项目

此次也不是 IOTA 的第一次政府级合作，曾经参与 TradeMark Africa 合作改造东非贸易走廊

在英国，其 TWIN 项目由政府派驻 4 名官员全职参与 12 个月，试点显示供应链数据可比传统方式提前约 20 小时抵达边境

在欧盟，它参与的区块链 PCP 项目已完成第三阶段

3️⃣ 值得关注的 稳定币 发展暗线

ADAPT 中有一个容易被忽略的细节，三国将同步测试「稳定币」跨境监管框架

美国 Genius 法案，香港稳定币调理，欧盟 MiCA 等主要经济体都在落地稳定币

新兴市场的稳定币使用增长更加显著，南非洲的稳定币交易占比，长期位居全球前列

IOTA 在这个节点把 "基础设施层" 和 "支付层" 放进同一个项目里跑测

如果可以跑通，IOTA 未来的商业化路径会更清晰

The IOTA standard? High performance & low impact.

We’ve built a powerful, energy-efficient network that drives scalable digital innovation without the heavy carbon footprint.

[IOTA @iota]

Following yesterday's announcement, media outlets are tracking the launch of the ADAPT initiative in Kenya, Nigeria, and Morocco.

Led by the @AfCFTA Secretariat, this project is building the digital backbone for a unified African market.

Here is some of the press coverage ⤵️

[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.

@DomSchiener @IotaTangleFacts Amazing work, congrats to all
