I didn't expect @ iota to appear on CNBC and start following the third world country route of saving the country through curves The news I just saw shows that the African Continental Free Trade Zone, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, the Tony Blair Institute, and the IOTA Foundation, has launched a unified digital trading platform called ADAPT The general idea is that the IOTA Foundation has signed a cooperation agreement with the entire African continent, with the first pilot in Kenya being particularly successful. The country has digitized trade documents through IOTA technology, reducing document verification time from 6-7 hours to 30 minutes. Kenya's flower exporters can now save about $400 in paperwork costs per month, while reducing 60-70% of manual operation steps You should know that the problem in Africa has never been a lack of potential, but rather a lack of trust and unified infrastructure. Goods go faster than documents, banks do not trust data, and companies rely on fax, paper, and errand to confirm. Over the past decade, the World Bank and IMF have invested in numerous projects, but none of them have fundamentally solved the problem of "trust" The wave of IOTA is almost a curve to save the country: it does not involve the L2 and AI narratives of Europe and America, but instead starts from the world's most painful "trade trust gap". This should not be the first case of blockchain being "implemented" in Africa, and we hope there will be more such cases in the future
