IOTA founder Dominik Schiener has confirmed that the Twin protocol is currently being tested live in the IOTA-MINNET and is to go to productive operation in the third quarter of 2025. The announcement marks an important step in IOTA’s efforts to integrate real trading systems with blockchain-based infrastructure.
In addition to the twin tests, Iota is working on the integration of the Kenyan Trade Logistics Information Pipeline (TLIP), a national platform to facilitate trade. The TWIN introduction is part of a larger roadmap that includes tokenization and decentralized validation to support asset-backed finance products.
For those asking for proof of real #IOTA transactions
Here’s Dom (IOTA FOUNDER) confirming they’re already testing TWIN on mainnet, with production release in Q3. Plus 4 Trade Finance projects bringing RWA onchain with major partners.

According to Schiener, the Twin protocol already performs transactions in the IOTA-MINNET. This is the first public confirmation of activities that go beyond the Testnet stage and is regarded as a necessary step before the official production approval.
Twin, a protocol that is on twin.org hosted will have digital identity and asset tokenization functions. Its integration into the IOTA system is intended to form a digital backbone for governments and companies that manage cross-border trade processes.
One of the first institutional implementations of Twin is expected to take place in Kenya by WLIP. This system conducted by the government is intended to improve the efficiency and traceability of processing customs documents, shipping data and logistics records. The integration of IOTA in TLIP is intended to increase data transparency in the entire supply chain and at the same time reduce paperwork and delays.
In addition to the introduction of Twin, IOTA teams conduct four pilot projects for commercial financing, which include RWA tokenization. Most of these projects deal with raw materials, critical minerals and commercial claims that have been checked and processed manually. The further development of tokenization is linked to Twin, creating a complete path for assets from creation to closure.
In this context, tokenlabs put on a validator node in the IOTA-MINNET. The validator is now active and has a public dashboard that enables users to view live network metrics and to take part in direct stacking. This step is part of a wider decentralization strategy within the IOTA ecosystem and is in line with the increased demand for transparency among the validators.
This is exactly why we became #IOTA validators!

The user interface of tokenlabs is structured for both beginners and experienced users and offers tools for real -time monitoring and staking without an intermediary. Additional functions are in the works, which indicates long -term support for growing participation of customers in the validation processes of IOTA.
As CNF reported, Iota is on the best way to put its production environment into operation in the third quarter, since the tests of Twin are already going and the validation infrastructure is going into operation. The integration of tokenization projects and trade financing tools indicates that the network develops beyond its original framework into a platform that is able to support implementations at the company level.
