IOTA

👣 IOTA Audit Trails: because trust in business records shouldn't depend on who controls the database. Today we're launching a new open-source solution that lets any authorized party verify the full history of a workflow, without gatekeepers, intermediaries, or blind faith. 🧵⤵️

What started as a pilot for flower exporters in East Africa is now live across government systems on multiple continents. Trust compounds. Infrastructure scales. One corridor at a time.

Reminder: our community AMA with @DomSchiener is this Wednesday, July 15 at 17:30 CEST. Get your questions in by Tuesday July 14, 17:30 CEST by replying under the original post below.

"Instead of waiting 24, 48 hours to get the physical document once the goods are at the port, they get it digitally immediately as soon as the truck arrives. We're able to reduce clearance time from something that took days to hours - or even minutes." @DomSchiener to TokenPost.

Every government system that connects makes the network more useful for every other system already on it. That's the logic behind building neutral, open infrastructure. The capability compounds as more parties join.

Trade. But trusted. #TrustedTrade

We're hosting a community AMA with @DomSchiener exactly one week from today. Drop your questions below and we'll go through as many as we can live.

The trade finance gap across Africa runs to around $100 billion a year. Real businesses, real goods - but financing that never arrives. When trade data can be verified at source, that gap starts to close. That's why IOTA helps power the future of global trade through initiatives like @TWINGlobalOrg.

A normal database can store trade documents. Most government systems already do. The problem is who controls it - and whether any other government will trust data that comes out of it. A distributed ledger makes the integrity of the data verifiable by anyone, without needing to trust who runs it. That's why credible neutrality in trade infrastructure requires more than a shared server.

"TradeLens failed because it was a permissioned private blockchain. IOTA succeeded in trade because we're a nonprofit foundation, because we are open source, and because IOTA is a permissionless network." @DomSchiener in conversation with @TokenPost.

Packaging compliance is becoming a major trade barrier, as missing or unverifiable compliance data can lead to border delays, rejected shipments and lost market access. @TWINGlobalOrg and IOTA can help by enabling trusted exchange of verifiable packaging compliance data between supply chain participants and border authorities, streamlining compliance checks and facilitating cross-border trade. packaging-gateway.com/features/why-p… #TrustedTrade

1/ Business records crossing organizational boundaries can be altered, backfilled, and disputed. @iota's Audit Trails anchors governed, onchain histories any authorized party can independently verify, with no central administrator. 🧵👇

[ICYMI] Real-world Web3 utility is here! Catch our interview with TechFlow on how @TWINGlobalOrg uses IOTA to transition global commerce into a 5-minute era. Thank you @TechFlowPost for the feature. x.com/TechFlowPost/s…

@wef Strong foundations make the difference. Here's the full story: blog.iota.org/first-adapt-im…

"ADAPT has two advantages that early initiatives lacked - it's owned by neutral, impartial entities, and it has the full political backing of the AfCFTA behind it." Tim Stekkinger, @wef, on why ADAPT will succeed where others have failed.

ICYMI: The IOTA Q2 2026 Progress Update outlines protocol maturation and technical hardening. This makes IOTA more capable for the people building on it and cheaper for the people running it. Read the full report: blog.iota.org/update-q2-2026/

"A third of the global economy relies on trade. $32 trillion exported every year. And there's no digital protocol that makes it possible for countries to share data across the border - or share assets across the border." @DomSchiener, speaking with @TokenPost.

Great to see the momentum behind Africa's digital trade transformation. At IOTA, we're proud to support this vision through @TWINGlobalOrg by providing the trusted digital infrastructure that enables interoperable trade data, secure identities and seamless cross-border payments. english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/3/…

55,000 tonnes of SA grapes shad to be rerouted last season, costing the industry R3.2bn. When disruption hits, how fast can your supply chain adapt? In Kenya, @TLIP_io (powered by TWIN) cut document times from 3 weeks to 5 minutes. That’s resilience.

@TWINGlobalOrg @AfCFTA @InstituteGC @wef With major announcements planned for the next quarter, our vertically integrated teams remain fully focused on building the digital fabric for modern global commerce. Read the full technical and ecosystem breakdowns in our Q2 report: blog.iota.org/update-q2-2026/

@TWINGlobalOrg @AfCFTA @InstituteGC @wef Meanwhile, the TLIP pipeline hit a major validation milestone in Kenya, achieving a 95% UAT pass rate with v1.3.9. In the UK, we secured 5 core signatories for the International Supply Network MoU, advancing critical port integrations and compliance data frameworks.

Our Q2 2026 Progress Update is officially live. Following the IOTA Manifesto, we’re now 100% focused on supporting and scaling @TWINGlobalOrg, our open digital trade infrastructure. Here is a summary of our core achievements this quarter 🧵👇 blog.iota.org/update-q2-2026/
