#IOTA #TrillionOrNothing #OneOfUs

[Stefan @iota_penguin]

It's no secret that the past months haven't been easy. A lot of people are frustrated, portfolios are down and it's understandable that some are questioning where things are heading.

What keeps me optimistic is seeing what's happening behind the scenes at @iota.

The team is fully focused on one objective: making TWIN and trade finance a reality. That means spending less time chasing headlines and more time building. If you've noticed fewer announcements recently, it's because the priority is execution.

I'm convinced the broader crypto market will recover. It always moves in cycles. When capital and attention return, I believe IOTA will be in a stronger position than it has been before: with a clear strategy, a well-defined niche and infrastructure that's ready for real-world adoption.

Those of you who have been around for years will remember that we've had a strong vision before with the Internet of Things. The ambition was there, but the technology and the market simply weren't ready.

This time is different. Watching the dedication and hard work that goes into this every single day gives me a lot of confidence. I genuinely believe we're building something that matters and I believe that patience will be rewarded.

At the global level, paperless trade saves an average of 36 million tonnes of CO2 per year.

The equivalent of planting over a billion trees.

Digitalising trade documents pays back on more than efficiency alone.

Banks aren't withholding trade finance out of bad faith.

They're making risk decisions with incomplete information.

When documents can't be verified remotely, the safest answer is "no."

That "no" has a very large price tag globally.

@incucaioficial INCUCAI and all 24 provincial agencies hold verifiable identities on IOTA Mainnet, with tamper-proof document signing. No patient data goes onchain, only cryptographic proofs.

A patient waiting for a heart has only hours to spare. Every authorization and consent in that window must be correct, and trusted, the first time.

The #AfCFTA Protocol on Digital Trade sets a tech-neutral, harmonised framework across 55 member states.

Technologies like blockchain hold real potential: faster cross-border payments, less friction for SMEs, and inclusive digital infrastructure for women and small businesses across the continent.

🧵 IOTA upgrades to Pyth Pro.

This isn’t just a routine infrastructure update.

It’s about bringing faster, institutional-grade market data to the next generation of applications being built on @iota 👇

IOTA L1 is now connected to @PythNetwork Pro, the next evolution of Pyth Network’s price feed infrastructure.

The migration replaces the older Pythnet/Wormhole-based service with a lower-latency, subscription-based platform designed for institutional use.

Why does this matter?

Modern DeFi applications depend on accurate, real-time price data.

Think:

• DEXs
• Lending protocols
• RWAs
• Stablecoins
• Derivatives
• Tokenized assets

Without reliable oracles, none of these markets can function efficiently.

Pyth Pro significantly expands what’s available.

Instead of only crypto prices, developers gain access to 3,000+ institutional-grade feeds, including:

• Equities
• ETFs
• Commodities
• FX
• Futures
• Fixed Income
• Crypto

All delivered through a unified infrastructure.

The upgrade also brings:

• Lower latency

• Higher-frequency updates

• Broader asset coverage

• Infrastructure designed for institutional-grade applications

Exactly the type of data demanded by professional financial markets.

This fits IOTA’s broader direction.

The ecosystem is increasingly focused on:

• Real World Assets (RWAs)
• Digital trade
• Enterprise applications
• Institutional adoption

High-quality market data is an essential building block for all of them.

It’s also worth noting:

This isn’t an IOTA-only initiative.

@PythNetwork is migrating its entire ecosystem from Pyth Core/Pythnet to Pyth Pro, making this a network-wide upgrade rather than a chain-specific integration.

Developers currently using Pyth Core on IOTA need to migrate.

Migration is available now.

August 18, 2026: Support for Pyth Core on IOTA ends. After that date, applications must use Pyth Pro.

Infrastructure rarely creates headlines.

But it creates everything built on top of it.

Faster, more reliable oracle data strengthens the foundation for tokenized assets, institutional finance and next-generation DeFi on @iota

A small announcement with meaningful long-term implications.

[IOTA @iota]

A major upgrade in the price feed infrastructure of @PythNetwork, the decentralized oracle network, is arriving for IOTA users

From today, IOTA L1 connects to Pyth Pro, the next generation of Pyth's price feed infra.

Lower latency. Broader asset coverage. Institutional-grade data.

Buyers can take up to 90 days to pay once cargo has arrived. That's three months of working capital tied up in transit.

Verified data at the point of shipment can help unlock financing sooner.

Small and medium enterprises make up 80-90% of businesses across Africa. They're also the most exposed to friction at the border.

Shared infrastructure needs to work for them too, not just the largest players.

A shipment passes through eight parties before it reaches its destination.

Each one adds documentation.
Each one re-checks what the last party already verified.

With shared infrastructure, that record travels with the goods, verified at source and unchanged along the way.

Shared trust travels.

In the UK Government's Border Trade Demonstrator, TWIN helped commodity information reach port health officials up to 20 hours earlier than standard processes.

More time to plan.
Less friction at the border.
