TWIN Foundation Launched

The newly launched TWIN Foundation, a collaborative effort between the IOTA Foundation and five international partners, aims to transform global trade infrastructure by introducing the Trade Worldwide Information Network (TWIN). This initiative focuses on decentralizing fragmented trade systems through open-source technology that enables transparent, cross-border collaboration. It seeks to empower small exporters and developing economies while delivering smarter governance tools and business efficiencies. Operating as a non-profit, the TWIN Foundation emphasizes sustainable growth through responsible governance, technical innovation, standardization, and ecosystem development.

Key Ideas

Decentralized Global Trade Infrastructure: TWIN’s open network combats inefficiencies in trade by promoting interoperability and transparency across borders.
Governance-First Digital Public Good: The Foundation adopts a sustainable, non-profit model to steward long-term growth and public accessibility of TWIN’s infrastructure.
