A shipment is routinely insured against being lost, damaged or stolen. Insuring against the buyer not paying is a separate market with different rules. Physical risk can be surveyed. Commercial risk has to be inferred from records held by the people whose risk it is.

How can a funder back an exporter they would never lend to for five years? The funding covers one shipment. When the buyer pays for that shipment, the funding is repaid. How long that takes is set by the payment terms: thirty days, ninety, sometimes six months. The funder never has to guess where the exporter will be in 2031. They only have to be right about one trade.

A big milestone for the Virtual Watch Tower: yesterday we launched the H&M x VWT pilot. Together with H&M Trade & Customs, Sweden, we are moving VWT into operational use on real inbound shipments from Bangladesh to distribution centres in Sweden.

AI agents can act. But can they be recognized, addressed and trusted? That is the promise behind agentic.iota. A human-readable identity layer for AI agents, connecting identity with automation, commerce and global trade. From: agent.agentic.iota logistics.agentic.iota trade.agentic.iota customs.agentic.iota The next generation of digital commerce may need agents with identities not just intelligence. Identity → Automation → Commerce → Interoperability #IOTA #IOTANAMES #AIAgents #RWAs

@turing_certs with @iota. More milestones to come.

Virtue Incident Update The feedback we received from validators is that Plan A is not supported since it would have required a protocol upgrade, carried out specifically for this incident, to recover the attacker's assets. Hence, we are moving to Plan B. Under Plan B, as set out in our September 9 update, each affected position is paid its pre-liquidation net value in IOTA. Portfolio-level estimate ~11.54M IOTA, final amounts computed per account. October 1 — Stability Pool restored. 113,416.78 VUSD will be returned to non-attacker depositors. October 19 — Protocol relaunch and PSM goes live. Since USDT0 is now live on IOTA, the PSM will allow USDT0 to mint VUSD at 1:1. Assets recovery — Efforts through judicial channels are continuing. There is no claim portal. Plan B requires no action, no signature, and no transfer from you. We will never DM you first. Anyone contacting you about a claim is an impersonator. Should you have any questions, please contact contact@virtue.money via email.

IOTA Mainnet Staking Report is now on v2.3-beta 💚 Validator rewards are separately tagged through the entire process. ▶️ Origin evidence: system epoch-change tx + matching staking event + created stake object ▶️ Gold-coin marker and Validator Rewards column on every relevant row (dynamic view) ▶️ Attribution carried through split, merge, transfer, active, claimed and withdrawn rows ▶️ Same tagging in monthly summaries ▶️ Commission stays a subset of delegated stake — not an extra balance, not mixed with staking rewards With this release we are going into a feature freeze. The report now covers the full IOTA staking stack. We are in the final documentation, simulation and test phase. We can reveal one thing already: the next version will no longer be a beta, and we are very proud to reach this point after a phase of development and learning that began with Genesis. Thank you to everyone joining us on this journey; we are truly proud to reach this upcoming milestone.

A cargo changes hands several times between leaving the exporter and reaching the buyer. Each handover is recorded by whoever is holding the goods at the time, in their own system, in their own format. Nobody is lying. There is simply no single version of the journey, and the party financing it is reading the one they were sent.

Welcome USDT0 to the Mainnet

docs.usdt0.to/technical-docu… USDT0 is infrastructure that brings Tether/USDT across different blockchain networks.IOTA L1 is officially listed as a supported network. There is a dedicated USDT0 deployment on IOTA. USDT is locked on Ethereum, while equivalent USDT0 is minted on IOTA L1

When the UK tested whether ordinary commercial shipping data could stand in for customs paperwork, it covered 80% of the minimum data customs risk checks require. The information was already being produced by the supply chain. It was not reaching the people making the decision.

The World Economic Forum estimates digital trade facilitation could cut trade costs by up to 25%. Not by moving anything faster, but by lowering what it costs to prove a shipment matches its paperwork.
