🚨 IOTA and SIEMENS. This is NOT a research paper. This is a SIEMENS press release. Today Siemens confirms that its upcoming Digital Product Passport architecture will integrate: 🔹 Asset Administration Shell (AAS) 🔹 Distributed Ledger Technology: IOTA Each industrial device will have a QR-linked digital identity, enabling full lifecycle traceability, refurbishment tracking and auditable sustainability data, aligned with the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). The press release literally says: "…a data architecture currently under development, using Asset Administration Shell (AAS) and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT:IOTA), paves the way for a Digital Product Passport (DPP) in line with the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)." At the same time, Siemens is expanding its semiconductor-based SENTRON electronic circuit protection, capable of switching up to 1,000× faster than traditional systems, and introducing circular refurbished industrial soft starters with ~50% lower CO₂ footprint. Real industrial infrastructure. Real adoption. #IOTA inside Siemens Smart Infrastructure. ⚡🌍 #IOTA #Siemens #DDP #ESPR docs.publicnow.com/viewDoc.aspx?f…

@GMZeusINV It'll be okay brother 🫂

i was wrong.

@iotamorons @danheld Morons together stronk

So 2025 is almost over and @danheld is still right: Only morons buy #IOTA.🤪📉

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@kutkraft Hate to break it to you boss, but eventually the entire Internet will be age/identity verified ☹️

Lol no. ✌️

Last week’s launch of ADAPT by @AfCFTA, @InstituteGC, @WEF and @IOTA, shows how public digital infrastructure can unlock trade across Africa. At TWIN, we work with IOTA to make this technology available worldwide.

Selfie Sunday ✨

看到这条Tweet忽然唤起了我远古的记忆 @iota印象中买过的第五个币（2017年下半年，当时买入的顺序分别是BTC，ETH，LTC，EOS，IOTA） 记得最高应该是冲进了前十，且当时前十里面我最看好EOS和IOTA，一个主打并行高速（当时号称百万TPS），一个主打DAG技术+物联网。可惜物联网这叙事后劲不足，转成了Depin。 且当时IOTA还不支持智能合约，所以后面Defi Summer也没他什么事儿了。只是没想到EOS彻底凉凉的今天，IOTA还在积极搞事情 这一轮多数链上原生叙事泡沫破掉了，市场不再买单，全靠做市商搞波动收割。真正相对Solid的方向，比如稳定币，还有我天天写的链上股票/股权，说白了就四个字 - 降本增效，拿区块链去对现实世界，尤其是现实金融世界的“降本增效”。 因为区块链本质是一个全球账本，这东西天生就该去做降本增效的事儿。链上各种“价值为零”的山寨，Meme之类的资产发行+投机“大赌场”当然也是个PMF，但不能只有这个PMF。所以稳定币，Agent支付，股票/股权上链这些联通现实世界的“真PMF”这轮开始发力 其实从技术来讲这个PMF1-2年前就已经Ready，没有Ready的是监管方面的不明朗。去年底特朗普上台，今年天才法案+CLARITY Act（明晰法案）等框架的通过，才让这个大方向逐步清晰起来 IOTA现在干的这个事儿也非常接地气儿，而且不是叙事，人家试点已经开搞，换句话说就是已经落地了，剩下的就是往更大了铺 干啥呢，就是解决国际贸易目前混乱且低效的系统，每年33万亿的贸易规模很多依赖于40亿份纸质文件。在此之上的人工核验成本，文件欺诈/信任成本，交易手续费这些每年的浪费或者损失都是以百亿美元为单位 非洲这种基建和发达程度最落后的地方，自然也是浪费和损失最大的地方 现在ADAPT（非洲大陆自由贸易区数字接入和公共贸易基础设施倡议）就是基于IOTA的实时数字信任来取代纸质文件和人工核验。有点像什么呢？咱们错过了信用卡时代，直接跳到扫码+刷脸支付时代，非洲“半错过了”互联网信息化时代，直接跳到基于“全球账本”的链上数字公共基础设施时代 现在肯尼亚的试点数据已经出来了 - 文件验证时间从6-7小时 → 30分钟 数千家花卉出口商每月节省400美元文书成本 消除60-70%人工操作环节 卢旺达的试点也同样成功 所以你看Tweet里基于试点给了一个预期 - 2035年实现非洲内部贸易额翻番（每年增加700亿美元） 每年创造236亿美元经济收益 边境清关时间从14天缩短至3天以内 跨境支付手续费从6-9%降至3%以下 那对与IOTA来说，自然也是个利好 首先，IOTA不再是当年那个不支持智能合约的链了。今年5月完成Rebased主网升级，支持50,000+ TPS和0.4秒确认时间。执行双虚拟机支持: MoveVM L1 + EVM L2运行。目前300+智能合约部署，3万日活地址，5691万月交易量，48.6%代币参与质押 其次，未来这些跨境的数百万笔交易，包括货物托运、商品、发票等实物资产的通证化，都会带来IOTA链上的活动以及对IOTA代币的销毁和锁定。IOTA作为一个无VC解锁，质押率接近一半，筹码极其分散的代币结构，100%会进入一个通缩阶段。 最后，说一个好玩的，这可能是史上首次整片大陆基于区块链来构建一个开放数字贸易通道，而且这事儿谁想过呢？中本聪本人 你看他10年在比特币论坛发的帖子 他设想过BTC的发展方向，将来交易里面承载托管交易，保税合同，第三方仲裁，多方签名等等，结果现在BTC走了黄金路线，反倒是IOTA先一步把这些设想落地了 目前的市场的确是有熊市的Feel，甚至大家戏言“山寨的价值为零”，但我相信USDT/USDC的稳定币支付，Ondo/StableStock的链上股票，IOTA的非洲贸易链上数字公共基础设施，这些会是区块链走进现实世界的排头兵。我们终于踏出了BTC价值存储之外，摆脱“链上赌场”这个数年来唯一叙事的第一步。星星之火，可以燎原

Today in Johannesburg, @AfCFTA launched ADAPT – a landmark initiative to build the world’s most advanced digital public infrastructure for trade with the potential to: 🌍 Double intra-African trade by 2035 🤝 Unlock more than $70 billion in additional trade value 📈 Generate $23.6 billion in annual economic gains 🛃 Reduce border clearance times by more than 50% We’re proud to support this work with @IOTA and @wef to power Africa’s economic future through technology and innovation.

🔥 BREAKING: The @wef (yes, the World Economic Forum) has just ranked #IOTA among the key technologies shaping global digital trade and decentralized identity. 👉 This is massive — absolutely huge… here’s why 👇 📘 In its new whitepaper “Advancing Digital Trade: Insights from the UAE TradeTech Regulatory Sandbox” (Sept 2025), IOTA takes up over 3 pages —more than 10% of the entire report—, where it’s presented as the core infrastructure ON A GLOBAL SCALE 👀 for tokenizing trade data and verifiable digital identities. 💬 The WEF describes it as the technological backbone connecting governments, banks, and SMEs without intermediaries, praising its energy efficiency, scalability, and data sovereignty. ⚙️ In short, the WEF positions IOTA as one of the leading intangible assets of the near future in TradeTech, and highlights it as a pillar of the new global framework for digital identity (DID). 🕓 This is a TradeTech whitepaper the WEF releases only every two years — and this one clearly shows the WEF backing IOTA with full confidence and no hesitation.👇 reports.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Advan… #IOTA #WEF #TradeTech #Tokenization #DID #TWIN #UAE

@sammmyy9a @iota The US exchanges are coming 😀

🚀 Big news: This week I joined @iota Foundation as their first Chief Marketing Officer 🫡 I’ll be driving IOTA’s brand, storytelling, and positioning as we establish IOTA as a leading L1 bringing the real world onchain. In many ways, my career has come full circle. When I landed in SF during the dot-com boom, I was the marketer at a small dev startup called RoundPeg. My first client? Jeremy Allaire, who’d just launched ColdFusion with his brother JJ. That gig pulled me deep into early web culture, developer onboarding, content strategy, and storytelling for the builders shaping the internet. Over the next 20 years, I led brand marketing, social, and community with global tech giants like HP, Oracle, Microsoft, Xbox, Western Union, PayPal, T-Mobile and Verizon, while always keeping one foot in startups, writing the first marketing plans (and sometimes the first angel check). I fell down the crypto rabbit hole in 2014, and the idea of open, permissionless systems clicked instantly. Since then, I’ve led marketing at Community Labs (Arweave) and most recently led marketing for Avalanche at Ava Labs. Now, I’m joining IOTA, one of blockchain’s true OGs, just as it unlocks its next chapter. Its edge? TWIN (Trade and Logistics Information Network), powering the digitization of global trade, supply chains, and real-world assets (RWAs). After years of groundwork, IOTA’s just getting started, they have built the infrastructure to bring $10T+ in real-world value onchain. What excites me most is the opportunity to elevate IOTA’s storytelling, showcasing the real-world adoption, impact, and innovation happening around the world through builders, enterprises, and governments using IOTA to power real economies. I’m thrilled to join such an exceptional team shaping the future of trade, trust, and tokenization. If you’re curious about what’s next for IOTA, or how real-world adoption is taking shape across Web3, let’s connect. 🌍 #IOTA #RWA #TradeTech
