Kenya, Morocco, and Nigeria are the first countries to implement ADAPT, laying the foundation for a shared digital infrastructure for intra-African trade.
🎥 TBI’s Alban Odhiambo speaks to @cnbcafrica about ADAPT, developed by @AfCFTA in partnership with TBI, @wef and @iota

Really proud of the pioneering work we're doing together with the AfCFTA, the Tony Blair Institute and other partners to digitize trade across Africa.
Kenya, Morocco and Nigeria will be the first ADAPT implementations.
Lots more to follow once the trade routes are fully operational.
Kenya, Nigeria, and Morocco have been selected as the first countries to implement ADAPT - the Africa Digital Access and Public Infrastructure for Trade initiative.

Why did Turing Space build on #IOTA?
Because a lifelong credential passport needs infra that's borderless, feeless at the edge, and globally available.
That's not a pitch deck.
That's the IOTA Trust Framework in production today. 🌍

Before and after Starfish
Huge impact on reliability and robustness on the IOTA network. Especially during high throughput, Starfish consensus delivers predictable and reliable confirmation times. Exactly what businesses need.
Next up: Making it even faster (below 500ms) 🚀

The kind of market environment where the real progress is happening

BREAKING: The Bitcoin conference saw a record low turnout this year, with only a few dozen attendees.
Several speakers also didn’t show, and the event ended 4 hours early.

Just a year ago we officially unveiled Rebased - a complete overhaul of the IOTA Layer 1. With that upgrade, IOTA has become one of the oldest Layer 1's without any technical debt.
Over the past year our team has worked on many improvements to protocol. Today, with Starfish, we have completed the biggest upgrade and improvement to the IOTA mainnet.
Really proud of what the team has achieved. The improvements are clearly visible and the Starfish consensus will make IOTA more resilient, scalable and performant.
Let's bring the real world onchain!

$250k worth of physical assets tokenized on IOTA
The entire trade finance flow entirely done onchain. This is what the future of trade looks like.
0.5 tons of Tantalum. Tokenized. Verifiable on the IOTA Mainnet.
This is what closing the trade finance gap looks like in practice.

Not true...
It is abundantly clear that "Web3 adoption" and the playbook of the past hasn't worked for the last year. The only thing that matters is bringing real businesses and real adoption onchain to IOTA.
This is what we've been focused on, and this is what the IOTA Manifesto clearly lays out: manifesto.iota.org/ Everything mentioned there is what we are 100% focused on realizing on IOTA.
We reduced the workforce by ~10% over the past week as we are combining all of our resources (no more separate "TWIN team") to focus on TWIN and bringing trade fully onchain on IOTA.

youtu.be/ZFOZ0eqfgns?si=inP_… 🎬 What a great interview by @DomSchiener of @iota about #TWIN that just got published courtesy of @wkforum 👏
“No financial institution can do what we are doing.” Exactly.

The community has been asking what @iota 2026 marketing strategy is.
The short answer:
We’re shifting the conversation from crypto speculation → real-world infrastructure.
Why?
Because global trade still runs on paper, PDFs, and email.
One of the world's largest economic systems still lacks a trusted digital infrastructure.
That’s where blockchain matters.
Our focus:
• Global trade & supply chains
• Verifiable data
• Government & institutional adoption
• Real deployments
The goal:
Position IOTA TWIN as the digital backbone of global trade.

I guess being criticized by Jeffrey Epstein himself in 2017 .... makes IOTA good?

Had a fantastic and productive trip in Korea. There was such a postive energy there, with deep support from the Blue House and large enterprises and financial institutions committed to building on crypto.
The pitch of IOTA, with our key focus of establishing a global trade infrastructure with TWIN, is a key differentiator to all the other projects. We are helping crypto move past the speculative bubble towards real world adoption.
We have a deep commitment to Korea and will move forward to connect the country onchain and bring forth a new wave of crypto adoption and acceptance. You can expect a lot more news in coming months.
Can't wait to come back to Korea soon (and eat more amazing food and try k-beauty products).
설날 (Korean New Year week) starts today 🇰🇷🎉. 새해 복 많이 받으세요! Coming off a strong weekend in Seoul, we were on the ground at World Crypto Forum connecting with leading Korean institutions and sharing how @TWINGlobalOrg can unlock real-world adoption on IOTA⤵️

What started out as a small pilot with a few thousand consignments, is now growing to a larger testbed across the UK 🇬🇧 We are bringing the real world onchain to IOTA, step by step.
Through our work together with the UK Cabinet Office and Teesside University, we have proven that crucial data can be accessed 20 hours earlier. Now we are scaling up the effort as part of the Tesside Digital Trade Testbed.
The impact of digitizing trade is enormous:
"According to ICC UK's Roadmap to Digitalise UK Trade, full digitalization could deliver £25 billion in trade growth and £224 billion in efficiency savings, with a 35% efficiency gain for SMEs."
There is still a lot of work ahead, but the foundation for global digital trade is being laid right now. Thank you to our amazing partners and community for staying the course with us 🚀

"With backing from global institutions and live deployments in government systems, IOTA is positioning itself as the trust layer for global trade. Rather than promising a future use case, it is already embedding blockchain into the infrastructure of the real economy."
