Würth is present tense. Fireblocks is present tense. Our revenue is over 1 million USD per year, everything goes back to development and improvements of the business goals and product.
In short, I think we're talking past each other a bit, so let me be very clear and keep this grounded in facts and timing.
You said you want things in the present tense and that's fair. Right now, today:
The Würth MVP is built, shown to the client and scheduled for live demos in Reno and New York in Feb/March.
The Fireblocks engagement is signed, with a concrete delivery timeline. Not "we hope to work with them," it's an executed agreement and scoped build that puts Cardano + Iagon in the middle of institutional infrastructure.
The underlying protocol, nodes and staking mechanics for $IAG already exist and function. People are staking and the infra is live. Over 820 nodes across 56 countries.
Those are present-tense states of the business. What is not present-tense yet and I've never claimed otherwise - is meaningful royalties. When I say "royalties are shared with IAG stakers," that is describing the mechanism.
On RoyaltyNode specifically -
A product that gives participants exposure to IP outcomes and enterprise compute/staking, with defined lockups and risk disclosures.
A framework where, if the first IP case is successful, 30% of proceeds are intended for IAG stakers and 20% for buybacks, so existing holders aren't sidelined - they're explicitly included. An additional 25% goes to participants of the sale.
You're saying: "You told us finances were good, now you're raising millions - that worries me."
Healthy finances and raising for a very specific, expensive next phase are not mutually exclusive.
Things like:
- Tier-1 / neobank listings (legal, integrations, security reviews, liquidity structures).
- IP expansion, commercialization and enforcement across jurisdictions
- Enterprise compute infra build-out that caters to institusional adoption
These are all high-ticket items. If we try to do all of that off existing cash flow and small grants, we either move slowly or we starve execution elsewhere. Raising before all the revenue is fully visible is precisely how you avoid over-levering the operation later or dumping on the market to pay bills. There is a reason we have lasted in the market since 2017 - cashflow planning is part of that.
You're also reading my pushback as "defensiveness." I see it as drawing a line between:
Legit questions (which you're absolutely entitled to ask, especially as a long-time supporter) and
Narratives that quietly shift the frame to "nothing has materialized" or "they’re selling something that doesn’t exist," which I don't agree with and won't let stand unchallenged.
You've been around this project for years, so you know I don't vanish when things get tough and I don't sugarcoat the fact that a lot of what we're building is hard, long-cycle work. RoyaltyNode is for people who understand and accept that risk profile and want to be aligned with IP and enterprise upside. It's not a requirement for anyone and it doesn't change the basic fact that the core way $IAG holders benefit is:
-Staking and network usage
- Enterprise adoption of the stack
- if successful, IP commercialization and enforcement.
Best of luck

Inside Würth Headquarters with Iagon
Last week, our team visited Würth HQ to advance the next stages of our joint enterprise initiative — building secure, decentralized infrastructure for industrial 3D printing.
This partnership is a real example of blockchain adoption inside global enterprise workflows.
