Last weekโs launch of ADAPT by @AfCFTA, @InstituteGC, @WEF and @IOTA, shows how public digital infrastructure can unlock trade across Africa.
At TWIN, we work with IOTA to make this technology available worldwide.
There was incredible momentum at ADAPT's launch!
Together with @AfCFTA, @WEF, and @InstituteGC, IOTA is helping to build the systems that will redefine how trade works in Africa and beyond.
This is what digital public infrastructure looks like in action.
Today is a very special day.
What started in 2020 in Kenya with the challenging grunt work to connect all customs and ports systems to IOTA, is now entering the next phase.
Under the leadership of the African Continental Free Trade Area @AfCFTA , we are excited to partner with @InstituteGC and @wef on ADAPT, a public digital infrastructure to digitize trade all over Africa.
The mission is clear: A single public digital infrastructure to connect all of Africa. Digital trade. Identities. Payments. Trade finance.
The goal of the AfCFTA is to connect 55 countries by 2035, doubling intra-African trade by more than $70 Billion. Border & customs clearing will go from weeks to hours, cross-border payments will be reduced to less than 3% and exporters will get access to global trade finance liquidity. All of this will unlock new economic growth in excess of $24 Billion per year, creating job opportunities & prosperity across the entire continent.
The impact ADAPT will create for Africa is huge - and the work has already started. Kenya will go live in Q1. In 2026 we will connect Ghana and more countries. This will be a long and challenging road, but thanks to the commitment of the AfCFTA and the dedication of our partners I am convinced that we will realize this mission to connect Africa through the most modern digital trade infrastructure in the world.
We founded IOTA more than 10 years ago with the goal of creating impact in the real world. I can confidently say today - after many years of incredibly challenging work - with this announcement and this partnership with the AfCFTA, that we are making our big and bold ideas come true. We are changing the world. The impact and the solutions we are creating with IOTA are real.
I couldn't be more proud to be part of IOTA and to work alongside such amazingly talented and driven team at the Foundation, together with our strong partners and loyal community.
Let's bring the whole world onchain.
Africa is the future of global trade ๐
Led by @AfCFTA, in partnership with @IOTA, @WEF & @InstituteGC, ADAPT is building a public digital infrastructure connecting Africa with seamless cross-border trade, instant payments & secure digital identities.
One network. All of Africa.
GM $IOTA fam!
A community member just shared something interesting on Telegram.
The new OECD trade paper explicitly mentions IOTA as part of the Trade Logistics Information Pipeline with the World Economic Forum and TradeMark Africa.
This is real policy-level recognition. ๐
Do you remember what I said after the GLEIF news? G20 next!
Guess whoโs a "knowledge partner" of the G20?
๐ IOTA ignites! ๐
At 06:08 UTC, Oct 30 2025, the $ZRO token (LayerZero) was born on IOTA L1 (Rebased).
IOTA just plugged into the multiverse of blockchains. ๐โก
In practice, this means that from IOTAโs Layer 1, assets and dApps can now interact directly with Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Polygon, and more. Users can move liquidity or NFTs seamlessly across ecosystems, and developers can build dApps that live on multiple chains at once.
๐ฅ IOTA is in full-throttle mode this Q4.
#IOTA #LayerZero
I can't anymore.
I can't provide enough high quality content with the amount of IOTA News and Spec we currently get.
But i want to give you a few things to think about.
@salusplatform just shared in a space they are gathering Capital for their business model from @TradeflowM.
Tradeflow is the absolute OG in terms of Trade funding. The business model is simple. Whenever a buyer and a seller comes together, that have difficulties getting the logistics done (Export, Transport, Import). TradeFlow helps.
They buy the goods from the seller, transport it to the buyer and sell them to the buyer. Sounds simple. Is simple. But it comes with huge hurdles in terms of documentation etc.
Tradeflow is THE (yes THE) specialist that made sure their logistics works best in class. So whenever they step in, they provide huge value to the seller, to the buyer and also earn on it.
They earn good on it. @PhyloIota teased something like 10% per Trade. With an TradeDuration usually having 30 to 90 days. Even the people in Spec Discord were able to calculate, that those are HUGE returns.
But that's not all. The returns are close to being risk free. At least Tradeflow states they have near zero defaults. Whenever a buyer suddenly vanished, well they just sell their commodities to someone else.
So very stable 8-20% APR. Backed by RWAs. Backed by tokenization.
Okay... So much to that... That's the business modell... @TradeflowM is one of THE partners for @salusplatform . They have big experience executing the model and they also bring significant capital (Issuing their own bonds. Bond Size 100m+).
They need this amount of capital in order to buy and sell the goods and not just "insure" the transport. This make TradeFlow incredible attraktive to Small and Medium Sized Companies (SME) eg. small mining companies, because they suddenly can sell their stuff in their country and get direkt money. Worth a little discount right?
Okay. So Salus brings this model to rare earth minerals. Tradeflow brings the money and surely some know how as well.
TradeflowM also has already tokenized Bonds on @Optimism. Pretty huge. Would be a shame they don't come on Iota, right :D
Beyond that, everything is going to happen on Chain. Acutally it isn't far to assume we will see those trades settled in @USDT0_to . Why? Well first and foremost those guys are somehow fiddling with us.
But there are also some articles out there already referring to the GENIUS Act. Read it up. It's basically the Stable Coin regulation from the US.
Why is this Huge? Well if we settle those trades on chain. It means HUGE, again, HHUUGGEE Inflows and movement of Capital. Institutions all this Shit. On CHAIN. on IOTA.
@salusplatform is aiming for Billions in Trade. BILLIONS. Just a single Plattform. Billions settled on chain. on IOTA.
But that's not even all of it. Let's speculate a little further. Let's think why could Tether be interested in Salus as well?
Well, for Tether it's business case is all about generating yield with the money they collect. The more yield the better. But it also needs to be as liquid as possible. Because when someone on chain want's his $ back, they better pay quickly.
Okay.
What could be a market. With very low defaults. With very short lock periods. That could need HUGE amounts of money... Mhmm... Yeah, exactly. SALUS.
I think @rilett_jam13184 might have even hinted at it, in todays space. He mentioned they have some parnterships with huge money upcoming he didn't want to talk about. Well...
And we haven't even talked about DeFi yet. You, I, everyone might be able to invest in TradeFlows soon on IOTA. 20-30% APR relatively secure investments. Backed by RWAs. Use those, thokenize them. Provide them as colleteral. Buy More...
Holy!
And don't get me even started talking about DIDs. DIDs is huge. And if @JensLundNielsen even hinted as BONKER DID News than i am...
Thats it for today. Share that post. Do it. Make some noise. It's our bags! Don't be shy anymore. That's for others to take that role. We are proud MFers now.
I will hold my bag to Valhalla. Scrape 4$ out of your books your lazy paperhands. We do 10$.
10$.
Bye.
BREAKING: $HBAR Enters Top 3 for Fastest-Growing Dev Activity
The builders are not slowing down:
1. @iota โ +2455%
2. @solana โ +2400%
3. @hedera โ +2300%
This isnโt noise, itโs a signal.
Something massive is brewing on @Hedera
Let's be honest. It's 2025. The IOTA vs. XRP debate is over.
XRP: Bolted on an EVM sidechain.
IOTA: Reinvented the entire protocol.
With the Rebased Mainnet, @iota is now fully decentralized with dPoS, supports EVM + MoveVM, and is built for Real-World Assets.
One is patching the past. The other is building the future.

The Global Trade Outlook (June 2025) by @biztradegovuk outlines a future shaped by deep structural shifts: geoeconomic rebalancing, rapid automation, climate-driven policy, and the accelerating push toward Net Zero.
Global supply chains are being redesigned. Digital infrastructure is becoming the backbone of trade. And trust, transparency, and verifiability are now core requirements in this new world.
We are positioning $IOTA at the heart of it. How? ๐
The Trade Worldwide Information Network (@TWINGlobalOrg) is revolutionizing global trade by replacing outdated systems with an infrastructure built on @iota.
It ensures data integrity, security, and sovereignty by allowing every trade actor to control their data while making it accessible to trusted partners.
TWIN enables the seamless exchange of trade documents, turning them into tamper-proof, tokenized digital records.
By using IOTAโs distributed ledger and identity solutions, TWIN creates a transparent and auditable ecosystem for customs, freight forwarders, exporters, and regulators.
This transformation drastically reduces trade transaction costs, accelerates cross-border processing, and narrows the global trade finance gap.
TWIN also enhances compliance and risk management, providing customs agencies with real-time, verifiable supply chain data.
With IOTA at its core, TWIN is setting the foundation for a new era of trusted and inclusive global trade.
As trade becomes more digitized and sustainability becomes non-negotiable, solutions like TWIN will become foundational.
Governments and industries are demanding interoperable, real-time data systems that build trust across borders.
We are positioning IOTA to be the trust layer for this new global economy.

80,000 BTC, untouched for 14 years, were moved simultaneously from 8 different wallets in 10,000 BTC batches with messages embedded in the transactions on the 4th of July this year.
Truly a fascinating/intriguing event with undoubtedly large implications.
I have my own thoughts on who might be behind this, but who do you all think it could be?

$IOTA is about to unlock one of the biggest real-world use cases in crypto:
Despite powering over half of global GDP, international trade remains one of the most outdated and inefficient systems on the planet.
Billions of dollars and weeks of time are wasted every year โ just because documents arenโt digitized and workflows arenโt automated.
Think about it. In 2025, trillions in goods still rely on paper-based processes. Customs still wait for physical documents.
At @iota, we are leading the transformation of cross-border trade. We co-founded @TWINGlobalOrg with the @wef and global partners to rebuild the backbone of global trade.
TWIN is delivering open, decentralized infrastructure to digitize how goods, data, and documents move across borders.
Major trade adoption news is on the horizon for the second half of 2025 โ and yes, it directly involves the IOTA mainnet. ๐
The opportunity here is massive. Global trade hit a record $33 trillion in 2024. Itโs one of the biggest sectors left untouched by real digital transformation.
Improving it even by a few percentage points creates billions in value. According to the WEF, the TWIN initiative could cut the cost of global trade by 25%.
Not to mention reducing emissions, waste, and corruption.
Most blockchains arenโt built for this scale or complexity.
So, what does that actually look like in practice?
๐น Digital product passports
๐น Verifying green trade credentials
๐น Automating customs declarations
๐น Identity and provenance for physical goods
This is the infrastructure global trade has been missing. A foundation for trusted, transparent, real-time commerce.
Trade will not stay analog.
The digital upgrade is inevitable.
And when it comes,
those who built early โ will lead.
From paper to protocol. IOTA rewrites global trade.
