Q2 2025 marked a significant period for IOTA with the launch of Rebased Mainnet and the establishment of the TWIN Foundation. Key events included technology advancements and product deployments.
Research & Development
This quarter's focus was on the successful launch of the IOTA Rebased Mainnet, the result of over a year of collaborative effort across all R&D teams. Innovations include research into account abstraction to enhance user experience and the integration of passkeys for user authentication. Notably, enhancements to the Mysticeti consensus mechanism were implemented, improving network stability.
Product Adoption
The Product Adoption team transitioned to real-world results in Q2, signing partnerships with companies such as ObjectID and Orobo. These initiatives aim to create solutions on the IOTA Mainnet in areas like digital identity and product traceability. Concurrently, the IOTA Gas Station was improved to make transaction fee payments more flexible and user-friendly.
TWIN and TLIP Initiative
A significant Q2 event was the launch of the TWIN Foundation, formalizing the mission of six organizations to enhance digital trade. TWIN has already demonstrated results, reducing document processing times in Kenya's export processes to the UK. Several events were held in Q2 to promote IOTA's growth in East Africa.
IOTA continues to evolve, enhancing its technologies and focusing on real applications in digital trade. The future looks promising with expanding its ecosystem and new partnerships.
