While other public blockchains are still hyping up their concepts, this project has already secured funding from the British government! In the history of crypto, it is often the project teams that spend millions of dollars lobbying governments, begging for a license. But this time, the script has been reversed. IOTA not only secured £3.5 million in seed capital from the UK government to build digital infrastructure for Teesside port and airport, but also seconded four UK government trade officials to IOTA for 12 months full-time. Why is the British government willing to pay money and send people out of its own pocket? Because they encountered a problem in international trade that could not be solved by traditional means—efficiency taxes. Take a shipment of goods from Poland to the UK as an example: the truck may only need two days to cross Europe, but the relevant paper documents, health certificates, and certificates of origin may be delayed at the UK border for several days due to human error or system incompatibility. This is the data black hole that drives countless traders crazy: the truck is already parked at the border, but the data is still on its way, or the entire truckload of goods is stuck in place just because of a spelling mistake. Every second of delay represents a loss of real money. Hey? Smart people will have already figured it out: Can't blockchain perfectly solve this problem? Therefore, IOTA partnered with Teesside University to launch TWIN (Trade Worldwide Information Network) technology, which creates a blockchain-based digital twin certificate for each container. (TWIN means twins, and the project leader will choose the name.) In this project, IOTA delivered a result that the British government could not refuse: It allows critical data to reach customs 20 hours before the goods themselves. This means that while trucks are still speeding along European highways, UK customs has already completed its preliminary review. The system accurately displays relevant data about the goods, eliminating the need for customs officers to guess. It is estimated that the full implementation of this system could save the UK £224 billion and directly boost GDP growth by 1.3%. For the efficiency-driven trade and logistics industry, being 20 hours ahead means increased inventory turnover and reduced capital costs. This is the advantage of blockchain technology in the real economy! This also means that every shipment of goods that passes through TWIN and enters/exits the UK customs network in the future will contribute real, non-speculative TPS and network activity to the IOTA mainnet. This is not simulated data from a testnet, but real on-chain activity driven by the import and export trade of major global trading nations. While the market was still hyping up the RWA concept and trying to put US Treasury bonds on the blockchain, IOTA had already skipped that step and directly become the highway for RWA circulation. The UK government's deployment of personnel is a clear signal: blockchain technology is shedding its financial casino attributes and returning to its essence as a trust machine. For long-term builders who have persisted in this industry for many years, this may be the moment we have been waiting for: Code is starting to truly change the world, not just account balances.
