GM! we're on the last month of 2025. What’s your favorite IOTA moment this year? ⚡️

Whats happening on @swirlstake? 51% APY? This usually means a very big player was unstaking recently 👀 Where are the funds flowing to? https://t.co/2JOlBXA1O9

This year there have been many narratives about RWA and on‑chain trade, but so far it seems that only IOTA has achieved real‑world implementation. Four Pillars, a renowned research institution in the English‑speaking community, published the article “From Platform to Infrastructure: IOTA’s Trade Revolution,” which clearly outlines IOTA’s transition from an “IoT platform” to a “trade infrastructure,” summarizing four highlights 👇 1) The total value of global goods and services trade accounts for about 56% of world GDP, yet it heavily relies on paperwork, with 4 billion trade documents circulating daily. McKinsey estimates that full digitization could save $6.5 billion in direct costs each year and unlock an additional $30‑$40 billion of trade potential. Including pain points across all cross‑border trade stages, the overall market could exceed $10 trillion. 2) The biggest challenge is trust, as a vast amount of sensitive data needs to be placed on‑chain. IBM and shipping giant Maersk launched the blockchain‑based trade platform TradeLens in 2018, but it never took off because uploading highly sensitive operational data to a platform dominated by an industry leader (Maersk) was deemed unacceptable. 3) IOTA’s solution upgrades the technology stack and, from a top‑down design perspective, co‑founded the TWIN Foundation (Trade Worldwide Information Network) together with the World Economic Forum, the Tony Blair Institute, and other leading global organizations. In collaboration with the African Continental Free Trade Area, it launched ADAPT to directly interface with governments and customs, bridging regulatory frameworks, deploying the technology, and replacing paper‑based and manual verification. 4) The TWIN Foundation aims to build global trade infrastructure as a public good. This positioning goes beyond a purely commercial entity; as use cases grow, it drives a “trust flywheel,” elevating IOTA to a trade infrastructure and becoming the “trust layer” of the global economy. For specific implementation details, see my two previous tweets. If you’re interested in on‑chain trade, the Four Pillars report is also well worth a full read. https://t.co/qlxIDnbKNb https://t.co/9RskKacLy0

In the past two years, Web3 has turned into a meme and a playground for various games, and everyone talks about culture, dissemination, and other more "virtual" things. But there is rarely talk about concrete things, and I want to go against that. Moreover, I am not talking about the so‑called "炒新不炒旧" (trading the new vs the old); instead, I want everyone to focus on an "old among the old" project — the 10‑year‑old project @iota. Because I just looked at the report released by Four Pillars — you will find that while everyone is impatiently participating in PVP, IOTA has quietly taken a seat at the World Economic Forum and governments' negotiation tables, becoming a "guest of honor" for various governments. I recommend reading it deeply several times; I have read it three times myself. After reading, my impression is: RWA is the future, and what IOTA does is one of the most valuable and impactful parts of RWA. 1️⃣The metaphor of Four Pollars The report mentions a vivid metaphor: today's global trade is like a "locked but transparent treasure chest". We all know trade data holds huge value, but because of slow processes, messy paper data, and high trust costs, this chest "cannot be opened". IOTA's TWIN — the ultimate key to open this chest. 2️⃣TWIN — the world’s top orchestrator. If you think I'm bragging, let me simply mention the "big players" behind the orchestration. World Economic Forum Tony Blair Foundation African Trademark Organization IOTA Just pick any and stomp your foot, they are all world‑wide "earth‑shaking" players. This shows the strong backing TWIN has, which aligns with its global positioning — not to build a simple commercial Dapp, but to gather top "big players" worldwide to create a digital public infrastructure for global trade. TWIN will make cross‑border trade data behave like WeChat chat records — supporting millisecond‑level transmission, real‑time verification, and permanent, loss‑less storage. 3️⃣Why I say what IOTA does is one of the most valuable and impactful parts of RWA. Because the current RWA track mostly focuses on tokenizing US Treasury bonds or turning houses into NFTs. While valuable, IOTA targets a more "fundamental" and "painful" issue: the $2.5 trillion annual funding gap in global trade. Why the gap? Because banks distrust paper documents, fearing fraud and double financing. The IOTA Rebased mainnet upgrade (already achieving 50,000+ TPS with 0.4‑second confirmation) is designed to handle this scale of throughput. Through TWIN, it can achieve: Paperless trade: Bill of Lading, customs declarations all on‑chain. Digital Product Passport (DPP): The EU will soon mandate DPP, recording product origin and carbon footprint. TWIN is inherently built to carry this data. Imagine that in the future every product exported to Europe may run on the IOTA network. Data sovereignty: This point is ...

I have added some relevant @IOTA Tokenomic Information to my dashboard project. As one Example, have you ever wondered how the staking ratio changed over the last 90 days? Well just checkout the Dashboard yourself! Give some Feedback to the Tokenomics Section. Also... Each Chart is now expandable!

A ten-year-old public chain ‘coming back to life’? IOTA @iota is teaming up with governments? Claims to put global trade documents on-chain. Let's see what's going on? 👀 IOTA, a public chain founded in 2015, has been focused on the Internet of Things (IoT) track, but recently pivoted sharply to real‑world asset (RWA) applications. This time it’s a big move—partnering directly with the World Economic Forum (WEF), the Tony Blair Institute, and the African Trademark Organization on a government‑level TWIN project to digitize global trade documents. First, the pain point: today, global trade has an annual $2.5 trillion funding gap stuck in paper documents—bills of lading, customs declarations, etc. These move slowly, are easy to forge, banks are reluctant to lend, and the money sits idle. TWIN aims to put these documents on-chain so customs, banks, and logistics firms can verify them in real time, compressing processes that used to take weeks into days or even instant. TWIN’s ambition is to become the standard infrastructure for international trade—companies store trade data on the IOTA chain, retain data ownership, and share via API with customs or banks when needed. Combined with the EU’s upcoming mandatory digital product passport (recording origin, carbon footprint, etc.), the potential transaction volume is massive. On the tech side, IOTA completed a Rebased mainnet upgrade in May this year, delivering 50,000+ TPS and 0.4‑second finality, and secured Lukka compliance certification and Islamic finance certification. But the challenges are clear: this B2G/B2B business’s adoption speed is entirely out of the project’s control and must be driven top‑down. Without government endorsement and enforcement, getting customs and enterprises worldwide to switch to a new system is virtually impossible. IOTA’s choice to start in Africa may be a smart foothold, and recent trends show the whole industry is moving toward integration with traditional sectors.

Good Evening X Fam !!! @iota identity and data architecture is one of the clearest examples of how digital infrastructure can scale without compromising verification integrity. The combination of open identity standards with operational controls at the protocol layer is not a compromise, it is a design decision that ensures data clarity, context accuracy, and consistency across services. The credential verification flow in IOTA is significant because it combines multiple validation stages into a single, cryptographically provable process. Each entity retains authority over its identity until the end, and the network cannot modify, insert, or alter the intent of the transmitted data. This mechanism maintains information integrity even when multiple processes are running concurrently. IOTA verified data exchange model is also designed to be strategic. By keeping the data context intact before the validation process, the system minimizes the risk of miscommunication between services, especially in complex d
