Critical upgrade to ensure that IOTA Identities are future-proofed.

Several large enterprise and governments had requested this feature from us to work on larger rollouts of IOTA Identity.

On chain verifiable credentials on IOTA are now fully post-quantum secure 💪

[IOTA @iota]

IOTA is the network bringing the real world on-chain — starting with trade.

We’ve signed an MoU with @GLEIF to explore how trusted business identities can be anchored on-chain to power global trade & supply chains.

TWIN is now IOTA Rebased mainnet compatible! 💪

[I am a Star! @mbohrmann2]

@id_iota @Cigamatoi 1.1m txns/24h? That's just 12.73 tps on avg. Peak was a mere 190 tps? Why on earth is that impressive when IOTA is supposed to handle 50k tps? Increase the spamming by at least 500x and keep increasing until it breaks. Would be a good stress test.

➡️ Now live: IOTA Hierarchies Alpha!
An open-source product for defining and verifying trust across people, organizations, and devices: on-chain and off-chain. It brings structure, delegation, and auditability to real-world trust relationships.

@NIOSwitzerland .. unbelievable. It's an insult and rip-off par excellence. Why are chinese still buying ths crap when there are Nio, Onvo, BYD, Zeekr etc.?

[I am a Star! @mbohrmann2]

@SZ_Investing Model Y looks like a dumpster. Unbelievable that chinese are still buying this overpriced crap.

[IOTA @iota]

[ICYMI] The IOTA Identity (Beta) launch delivers a decentralized, privacy-first identity framework on IOTA. Leveraging MoveVM for enhanced on-chain logic and layering off-chain verifiable credentials, it brings self-sovereign identity (SSI), W3C compliance, and scalable digital trust to users, organizations, and more:

What Makes It a Game Changer for IOTA?
Crypto‑native Identity, Made Secure & Decentralized
Built on W3C’s DID standards and anchored in IOTA’s immutable ledger, IOTA Identity ensures integrity and authenticity while eliminating centralized gatekeepers—meaning users and devices gain full control over their digital identities.

MoveVM Integration = On‑Chain Smarts
Transitioning from Stardust VM to the more powerful MoveVM boosts programmability and scalability, crucial for developers building real-world identity applications.

Privacy Meets Proof: Smart Hybrid Design
Identity data lives off-chain, with only cryptographic proofs anchored on-chain. This ensures privacy, auditability, and user autonomy, enabling verifiable yet discreet digital interactions.

Real-World Use Cases Include:

Finance & Compliance
Streamlined KYC checks, digital signatures, and fraud resistance, all without centralized intermediaries.

Supply Chains
Provenance, audit trails, and tamper-proof credentials for products: verifiable across stakeholders.

Healthcare
Secure, privacy-preserving sharing of patient records: staying GDPR-friendly yet verifiable.

IoT & Smart Infrastructure
Authenticated devices, trusted machine-to-machine communication, and “digital twin” identities, which is crucial for automation and infrastructure security.

Governments & Enterprises
E‑gov services and corporate identity anchored in trust without centralized control.

Why It’s Great for IOTA
Lowers the barrier to secure digital identity and authentication. Users and entities can engage in verifiable, trusted interactions without giving up privacy or relying on centralized providers.
Strategically positioned for real-world adoption: with GDPR-aligned privacy, enterprise & government use cases, and IoT readiness, IOTA Identity isn’t just theoretical; it’s purposeful.
Developer‑friendly, open‑source ecosystem. With SDKs (Rust and NPM), GitHub, documentation, and Discord for communities, building with IOTA Identity is accessible and collaborative.

[TWIN Foundation @TWINGlobalOrg]

What makes the #TWINFoundation a game-changer for global trade?

Founding partners from @TradeMarkAfrica, @iota, @wef & @InstituteGC say its key to success is a neutral, open-access governance model — a major shift from past commercial attempts.

[Stefan @iota_penguin]

Absolutely massive shift happening. Trade documents to be shared securely, instantly and at near-zero cost.

$IOTA is powering it: open-source, permissionless and ultra-low cost.

No more silos. No more delays. No more middlemen.

The @TLIP_io pilots prove it works. Now we scale.

We are talking about a $33T market.

Every country that wants to stay competitive will have to digitize trade.

Global trade is going Web3 and @iota is years ahead of any other solution:

✖️ Legacy trade systems
✖️ Enterprise blockchains stuck in permissioned environments
✖️Any other Web3 projects that talk "real-world adoption" but haven’t delivered actual public-private pilots with governments, logistics, customs and corporates.

This is what adoption looks like.

And it's just the beginning.

[IOTA @iota]

🌐 Global trade is hindered by fragmentation, inefficiency & lack of trust. IOTA - along with @wef, @InstituteGC, @TradeMarkAfrica & @GATFnews have come together to create @TWINGlobalOrg: a digital-first network tackling these barriers. Listen how through this interview⤵️

[PANDABYTE @pandabyte_net]

The name change has no influence on your staking with our validator. Only a new name will be displayed for everyone.

There will also be no change to our commission strategy. Our claim is always below 1%, so of course we will stay at 0.8% and no change is planned.

However, as already partially indicated, we are planning a second validator which should allow us to be even more flexible if the community wants and supports it (which we really need).

We will announce more information on this in the next week.

@HelloOrobo @iota How can we track the txns generated by this?

[IOTA @iota]

GLC Recycle is using IOTA Identity on @HelloOrobo's DPP platform to anchor trusted battery recycling data on-chain. A real-world, paid use case built on IOTA — thanks to Orobo & all involved! ⤵️
