When we had to make a decision:
Do we make the product simple, but limit what users can do?
Or do we take the harder path and build something more powerful, even if it takes a bit more time to understand at first?
With Chirp, we chose the second path.
We decided not to sacrifice functionality just to ship something quick but basic. Instead, we focused on building a platform that gives users the freedom to do almost anything across IoT, automation, connectivity, data, and real-world device management.
Yes, Chirp might feel complex when you first start using it.
But once you understand what is possible, the platform opens up in a completely different way.
You can connect devices, create automations, work with real-world data, build workflows, manage infrastructure, and start turning IoT into something practical, useful, and scalable.
While crypto has been going through its usual up and down cycles, we stayed focused on the core.
We kept building.
We kept expanding the functionality.
We kept improving the foundation.
And today, Chirp has become one of the largest IoT platforms in the space by depth of functionality.
The best part is that we are not done yet.
Now that the functionality is in place, our next major focus is making the platform easier, smoother, and more accessible for everyone. We already have something in the works that will help with exactly that.
More big updates are coming.
In the meantime, check out the Chirp platform, start automating, and see what is possible when IoT is not limited by narrow use cases.
The world of IoT is truly unbelievable.
Just be careful. Once you start exploring what you can build, it might pull you in.

🧵 What are $KAS vProgs and why do they change everything?
Most people think you need EVM or L2s to get smart contracts. Kaspa is about to prove them wrong.
Here is the breakdown of vProgs (Verifiable Programs) and why they are the holy grail for PoW. 👇
1/ The Problem: Traditional smart contracts (like on ETH) run on-chain. Every node has to re-run every calculation. This causes bloat, high fees, and congestion. To fix it, chains fracture into dozens of L2s, breaking liquidity.
2/ The Solution: vProgs.
Instead of running code on the blockchain, vProgs execute off-chain but are verified on-chain using Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs.
L1 doesn't do the heavy lifting; it just checks the "receipt" (proof) that the work was done correctly.
3/ Why is this huge?
It means Kaspa gets programmability (tokens, DeFi, stablecoins) without sacrificing speed or decentralization.
• No "Gas Wars" (computation is off-chain)
• No L2 Fragmentation (everything settles on one unified layer)
• Instant confirmation (thanks to blockDAG)
4/ The "Silver" becomes "Platinum"
$KAS is already the fastest PoW (Store of Value + Medium of Exchange).
With vProgs, it becomes a universal settlement layer. It moves from being "Just Digital Cash" to being the engine for future finance.
5/ TL;DR:
vProgs = Smart Contracts without the bloat.
It makes Kaspa a programmable Layer 1 that scales.
We aren't just here to pay for coffee anymore.
We are here to rebuild the financial system.
If you’re wondering where the IOTA Foundation is putting all its effort right now, the answer is clear: USDT. 💥
🔷 Without a functional stablecoin, the ecosystem can’t fully operate.
Today, SALUS can already push data and invoices, and TWIN can already handle data and DIDs, but what’s still missing is liquidity. Without USDT, there’s no real DeFi, no trade finance at scale, and no fully operational RWAs.
🔷 That’s why USDT has become the absolute focus of Q1.
This isn’t just another integration. It’s the missing financial leg that allows everything else to work together.
🔷 The integration is complex, demanding, and costly.
Strict audits, long processes, and high standards from Tether, especially for a non-EVM network. There are no shortcuts here.
🔷 The agreements are already in place and paid for.
What remains is audits, validation, and execution. Slow, yes — but foundational.
🔷 Once USDT is live, many pieces start to click.
From real financial applications to trade and settlement flows built on top of the network.
USDT is the key piece — and we’re right on the edge of having it inside the IOTA ecosystem.
Because IOTA isn’t just another crypto.
IOTA is the highway on which global trade is meant to run.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been strongly encouraged by the high level of interest in the ADAPT initiative and IOTA commitment to revolutionize trade on the African continent by establishing one shared, public digital infrastructure.
Participating in the ADAPT launch in Johannesburg last month also gave me the chance to meet with many of our partners and potential partners in person, which I believe provides a solid foundation for a successful and meaningful long-term collaboration.
What stayed with me most were the conversations – listening, debating, and reflecting on how we can truly unleash the potential of trade across Africa and beyond. In particular, I was inspired by our meeting with H.E. Secretary General Wamkele Mene of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, who has taken the lead in the implementation of ADAPT. His personal commitment to overcoming the many obvious obstacles to the execution was clear from our conversation.
What is really great is that actual implementation starts very soon.
Please watch this video in which Sir Tony Blair from Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, H.E. Wamkele Mene, Dr Talkmore Chidede, Chido Munyati and I expand on the ADAPT initiative, the thinking behind it, and what it means for the future of trade in Africa.
💥 Strong rumor circulating in the IOTA ecosystem: a USDT-powered payment card linked to IOTA might be in the works… and the company behind it is reportedly backed by Tether.
These cards let you pay at regular merchants using crypto, converting funds instantly from your wallet — essentially a crypto debit card plugged into the real world.
And the whispers are getting louder:
IOTA is said to be exploring a serious collaboration with a Tether-funded company to enable this card to support direct payments from IOTA wallets.
Not smoke… the kind of rumor that only appears when something real is moving in the background.
The best part:
the IOTA ↔ Tether connection seems to be growing right when stable liquidity is becoming critical for global trade.
If the talks and negotiations go well, this rumor could turn into a real product in the short–to-medium term. 🚀💳🪙

Trade across #Africa is being reimagined for the digital age.
ADAPT is a new initiative from @AfCFTA, @iota, @wef and TBI to build a digital trade backbone that will double intra-African trade, cut border times, unlock finance, and reimagine economies.
Hear from Tony Blair on why it matters ⬇️
🚀 IOTA is building the strategic backbone of the world economy — an integrated fabric of trust, credit, and traceability that unites nations, industries, and capital flows under a single verifiable layer.
A silent structure spanning Africa, Europe, Asia, and the United States, aligning governments, producers, and investors within one coherent framework.
Here’s how this hidden architecture works 👇
1️⃣ GLEIF provides legal identity (LEI) to every actor — exporters, traders, institutions.
2️⃣ TWIN + TLIP create the digital and logistical twin of every trade — issuing DIDs, Digital Product Passports, and recording invoices, customs data, and certificates to verify each step of the supply chain.
4️⃣ SALUS Platform transforms those assets into auditable financial collateral (tokenized RWAs).
5️⃣ Singapore acts as the institutional liquidity hub, where financing and settlements take place.
💡 The result: a decentralized Trade Finance layer, where a miner in Angola, a farmer in Kenya, or an exporter in Uganda can tokenize their production, prove its existence, and access real liquidity.
Each loan is backed not by promises — but by:
- Verifiable identity 🪪
- Certified documents 📄
- Physical traceability 📍
- Legal contracts 🧾
- Stable liquidity 💰
🌍 For the first time, a blockchain unites legal identity + digital twin + traceability + credit in one coherent architecture.
1.- GLEIF = who you are
2.- TWIN +TLIP = what you own & what you do with it
3.- SALUS = how you finance it
4.- Singapore = where you settle it
📈 IOTA is turning verified data into credit — and real-world assets into global liquidity.
This isn’t DeFi. It’s RealFi: the decentralized banking system of the real world. 🌐
And this isn’t speculation or hype — I just heard it directly from @kowei1995, IOTA Foundation’s Asia lead, outlining a grand strategic framework already in motion across continents.
🌐 A hidden global structure quietly binding law, logistics, identity, and finance into one living network.

🧵 Consider investing in $IOTA
Let’s be honest: most people scroll past IOTA.
They think it’s “that old IoT project from 2017.”
But if you actually take the time to look…
👉 You’ll realize #IOTA might be one of the most undervalued networks in Web3 today.
Let me explain 👇
🌍 Real-world adoption (not just promises)
While many blockchains keep talking, @iota is quietly building.
•TWIN Foundation – co-created with global partners (EU, Trademark Africa, Tony Blair Institute) to revolutionize trade.
⏳ Cutting processes from 3 days to 10 minutes.
💸 80% cost savings – and potentially more when fully on-chain.
•World Economic Forum – IOTA tech is part of discussions on digital trade & global infrastructure.
•Energy pilots in Europe & Africa – homes, EVs, and smart devices already buying and selling power automatically.
•Identity solutions – moving beyond passwords, creating secure, verifiable credentials for people and machines.
That’s not “future talk.”
That’s happening right now.
⚙️ The tech that makes it possible
IOTA recently went through its Rebased upgrade – and it’s a game-changer:
•🛠️ Smart contracts + tokenization
•💎 Staking & liquid staking (Swirl, Virtue Finance, Pools)
•🔗 Interoperability experiments (iBTC – Bitcoin liquidity flowing into IOTA DeFi)
•⚡ Designed for IoT + AI – trustless communication between devices
And the secret weapon?
👉 Gas Station model
Users (and machines!) don’t need to hold tokens to use apps.
Developers can cover fees → subscription-based UX, like Netflix or Spotify.
That’s how you remove friction and scale adoption.
It feels like Web2 – but it’s powered by Web3.
💡 Why businesses are paying attention
For enterprises and governments, IOTA isn’t just a “crypto coin.”
It’s a way to run processes more efficiently, transparently, and securely.
•📑 No endless paperwork → everything verified on-chain.
•🤖 Automated trust → IoT devices transact without humans in the loop.
•💸 Cost reductions of up to 80% today, and close to 100% when entire workflows move on-chain.
This means new business models emerge:
Machines as economic actors, supply chains running in real time, energy grids balancing themselves.
📊 Why investors should wake up
Despite all this progress, IOTA is still valued way below projects with no real-world traction.
Ask yourself:
•Which other network is simultaneously working with the EU, the World Economic Forum, African trade organizations, and global energy pilots?
•Which other network solved the UX barrier with a Gas Station model?
•Which other network has been rebuilt from the ground up to scale for IoT, AI, and DeFi?
Yet $IOTA’s market cap is a fraction of hype-driven chains.
That’s what undervaluation looks like.
🚀 The bigger picture
IOTA isn’t chasing memes.
It’s quietly becoming the infrastructure layer for:
•🌍 Global trade
•⚡ Decentralized energy
•🏦 Next-gen finance & DeFi
•🤖 IoT & AI machine economy
The pieces are coming together.
The partners are already there.
The technology is live.

✅ Final thought
Consider investing in IOTA.
Not because of hype.
But because it’s building the rails of tomorrow’s economy – and the market hasn’t realized it yet.
The real question isn’t why you should buy IOTA.
It’s why wouldn’t you?
