5.5.2025 → A new IOTA begins. Built on nearly a decade of research. Inspired by the best of Web3. Committed to open-source values 🔗 blog.iota.org/rebased-mainne… Smart contracts, decentralization, real-world adoption – just 2 weeks to launch🧵⤵️ 1/4

🚀 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

New Member 🥳 We’re thrilled to welcome the @IOTA Foundation to the CryptoUK membership community! As a leader in open-source distributed ledger technology (DLT), IOTA’s scalable, energy-efficient, and secure infrastructure supports a wide range of applications, from enterprise solutions to decentralised Web3 innovations, with a modular architecture and smart contract capabilities at its core. Since its founding in 2015, IOTA has been driving adoption across multiple sectors, including supply chains, digital identity, and public sector innovation. The Foundation’s global ecosystem spans Germany, Switzerland, and the UAE, where it established the first DLT foundation registered in the Abu Dhabi Global Market. In the UK, IOTA is already making significant strides, with its technology powering initiatives like the Trade Worldwide Information Network (TWIN), recently deployed in UK government-led border trials. TWIN streamlines cross-border trade by digitising key documents and ensuring secure, transparent data sharing. It has been pivotal in the Border Trade Demonstrator (BTD) trials, improving supply chain visibility and reducing border delays. Through its membership with CryptoUK, IOTA aims to build on this momentum, enhancing its presence in the UK market and ensuring that insights from TWIN help shape policy, drive industry dialogue, and accelerate blockchain adoption. Dominik Schiener (@DomSchiener), Co-Founder and Chairman of the IOTA Foundation, commented: “The UK is quickly establishing itself as a global leader in regulatory innovation for digital assets. By joining CryptoUK, we’re not only strengthening our presence in this key market, we’re also bringing real-world insights to the table. We look forward to working alongside policymakers, regulators, and industry peers to help shape a future where blockchain infrastructure supports secure, transparent systems on a global scale.” As one of the leading crypto industry associations in the UK, CryptoUK plays a critical role in shaping balanced, forward-looking regulation through direct engagement with the FCA, HM Treasury, HMRC, and the Bank of England — making it an ideal platform for IOTA to share its expertise in decentralised infrastructure and build strong relationships within the UK’s policy and innovation ecosystem. Su Carpenter, Executive Director at CryptoUK, said: “We’re excited to welcome the IOTA Foundation to our member community. Their work on TWIN is a great example of how blockchain technology can drive real-world change, improving supply chain efficiency and enhancing cross-border trade. As we continue our efforts to support the UK in becoming a global leader in cryptoasset technology, IOTA’s expertise will be key in helping shape fair, effective regulation. Together with our 100+ members, we’re committed to fostering an environment that drives innovation, strengthens security, and ensures the UK stays at the forefront of blockchain adoption.” You can see our full list of members here 👉 cryptouk.io/members
