Togo positions itself as a rising hub for investment and economic integration at #BiasharaAfrika2026, underscoring its strategic importance within West Africa and across the continent. As host of #BiasharaAfrika2026, #Togo showcases its infrastructure, including the Port of Lomé, and its economic diplomacy aimed at strengthening regional cooperation and trade facilitation under the AfCFTA. A strong focus is placed on ensuring that integration delivers real opportunities for SMEs, youth-led enterprises, and local communities. #BA2026 #Togo #CreatingOneAfricanMarket

#IOTA volume is surging, on-chain activity is steady, and price is mooning. What's the play here are we finally witnessing an @IOTA bull run?

Hi all 👋 Sharing a research note I put together recently — on how the Mysticeti consensus protocol diverged into Sui's Mysticeti V2 and our own Starfish at @IOTA. I used LLMs to help structure the technical narrative and the result was surprisingly clear, so sharing both the method and the content. The starting point: Mysticeti v1's betDrop explicit certification, let the DAG structure itself act as a "virtual certificate," and push BFT latency down to the theoretical lower bound of 3 message delays. This buys extremely low latency — but the cost is two open gaps: liveness lacks a rigorous proof, and dissemination is fragile at scale. The two diverging paths Sui → Mysticeti V2: Concludes the consensus core is already near-optimal, and instead targets the pre-consensus transaction validation that sits outside consensus — optimizing for happy-path latency. IOTA → Starfish: Concludes the core's dissemination / liveness is the actual problem, and uses erasure coding DAC to put the certificate back into the core in a cheaper form. dag-bft-consensus-note.netli…

The invention of the shipping container cut trade costs by 90%. The data layer of global trade has never had that moment. Until now. #TrustedTrade

$IOTA’s Morocco move is bigger than people think 🇲🇦Tanger Med port handled 11.1 million containers in 2025 Now ask yourself: what sits behind every container? Customs data, Certificates, Invoices, Trade finance... That is why Morocco matters. Tanger Med connects 180 ports worldwide and sits at one of the most insane trade positions on the map Africa below it. Europe above it. Atlantic and Mediterranean around it. This is real leverage, Because ADAPT is not trying to "move containers." It is trying to make the trusted data around trade move better. If documents, identities and payment rails become digital and verifiable, you are suddenly touching the layer that every shipment depends on. And Morocco gives that system serious volume to plug into. ➜ 1,200 companies ➜ 110,000 jobs ➜ $15B in exports That is the part people miss. IOTA’s opportunity is not just "Africa adoption." It is being positioned around the infrastructure where global trade already happens.

During the plenaries on Day 2 of #BiasharaAfrika2026, discussions focused on the ideas, partnerships, and practical solutions shaping the future of African trade. From strengthening food systems and agricultural value chains under the AfCFTA, to advancing trade facilitation, logistics corridors, infrastructure, and seamless cross-border payments, engagements centred on one objective: building a more connected, resilient, and competitive African market. Sessions also explored the future of trade relations, industrial development through regional value chains, and the partnerships required to unlock intra-African trade at scale. Africa’s future will be shaped by action, strengthening intra-African trade, connecting markets, and creating systems that unlock shared prosperity. #BA2026 #CreatingOneAfricanMarket #AfCFTA

The Tony Blair Institute, the City of London, and the Future of Digital Infrastructure Introduction The digitalization of governmental and economic systems is increasingly becoming a geopolitical and economic competitive factor. Governments, institutions, and financial centers are investing billions into digital infrastructure, identity systems, data exchange networks, and interoperable payment solutions. Within this environment, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) has emerged as an increasingly influential actor. Particularly interesting is the connection between strategic government advisory work, global trade digitalization, and the financial ecosystem of the City of London. At the same time, new technological partnerships are forming around open infrastructure projects such as IOTA and TWIN, which aim to build trusted digital systems for international cooperation. This article explores the role of the Tony Blair Institute, the significance of the City of London in the global financial and technology landscape, and the potential implications for the IOTA ecosystem. #IOTA #ADAPT

#AfCFTA is the largest free trade agreement in the world by number of member states. 54 African countries are working toward a single market designed to strengthen trade, investment, and industrial development across the continent. #IOTA

Global trade struggles with paperwork, inefficiency, and a lack of trust. This is where the cooperation between IOTA and TWIN comes in. It digitalizes supply chains and creates a transparent, tamper-proof ecosystem for cross-border goods movement. #IOTA #TrustedTrade

In most industries, if you can prove an asset exists, you can borrow against it. In global trade, proving a shipment exists - compliantly, verifiably, in real time - is still surprisingly hard. That's why so much legitimate trade goes unfunded. #TrustedTrade

Africa’s strength lies in its unity. Its future lies in collaboration. Today, we celebrate the vision, resilience, and promise of a borderless Africa. Happy Africa Union Day. 🌍❤️ #AUDay #AfricanUnion #AfCFTA

Border-related admin costs can be as high as 20% of a good's retail price. One in five dollars. Not from making the thing. From the paperwork required to move it. #TrustedTrade

Most sustainability reports in global supply chains are self-reported. The company at the end of the chain fills in a form. Someone signs off. It gets filed. A checkbox, not a chain of custody. #TrustedTrade

We're not competing with national trade systems. We're building the international highway between them. A country like Vietnam or Singapore isn't going to trust data from a Korean national system by default. IOTA changes that - because the trust is in the infrastructure, not just the relationship.

Earlier this week at #BiasharaAfrika2026, participants shared their aspirations for the future of African trade, a continent where businesses can move goods more easily, barriers are reduced, and opportunities flow across borders with greater ease. Their voices reflect a shared ambition for a more connected, practical, and inclusive trading environment for Africa’s businesses and people. #BA2026 #CreatingOneAfricanMarket #BiasharaAfrika #AfCFTA

🔥🔥 Why could this news be incredible for the future of the IOTA Foundation? Because the real-world launch of ADAPT across Kenya 🇰🇪, Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Morocco 🇲🇦 is not just a regional update. It is the beginning of a digital trade infrastructure layer across three strategic African gateways: East Africa, West Africa and the North African bridge to Europe. 🌍 Together, these countries represent around 327M people, roughly 25% of the AfCFTA population reference base, and more than $530B in combined GDP. AfCFTA itself connects 55 countries, 1.3B people and a $3.4T market. ⚡ And Morocco 🇲🇦 is the real scale shock. Tanger Med alone moves around 11.1M TEU per year, making it one of the most important container hubs in Africa and the Mediterranean. 🚢🔥 If IOTA Foundation, as a partner of the TWIN Foundation, were hypothetically able to capture just ~$1 net per real physical container processed, validated or digitally coordinated through this infrastructure layer, the resulting recurring revenue could move into the range of ~$9M–$12M per year.💰 That is why this matters. Under this speculative model, ADAPT’s first three-country rollout could potentially cover something close to the IOTA Foundation’s annual treasury needs and push it toward the most important milestone of all: economic independence from the token. Strategically, absolutely massive. 🔥 #IOTA #TWIN #ADAPT #AfCFTA #Nigeria #Kenya #Morocco

Kenya, Nigeria, and Morocco have been selected as the first countries to implement ADAPT - the Africa Digital Access and Public Infrastructure for Trade initiative.
