Slowing Down is Speeding Up: How Web3 Projects Find the Right Direction in a Bear Market
In the Web3 space, everyone likes to do things quickly. Release a MEME, create a DeFi skin, or accumulate a high-end AI hot concept, and you can complete a round of wealth harvesting in the secondary market in just a few months. However, when the tide goes out and the market returns to rationality, everyone will find that doing things slowly, correctly, and thoroughly can actually go further.
A decade-old project, IOTA, and its ecosystem's important grasp, TWIN, have fully proven this. No need to talk nonsense, let's go straight to the data. In the TLIP scenario in Africa, the system has already processed over 184,000 commercial invoices, 328,000 declarations, and issued over 2,000 export certificates. The significance of these numbers is not in their scale, but in the fact that TWIN has entered the real trade document flow.
A more intuitive example may come from the export pilot project from Kenya to the UK. Previously, trade documents might have taken 8 hours by air or 3 weeks by sea to be used. But now, with TWIN, documents can be obtained in just a few minutes, and border regulators can see trusted data 3 weeks before the goods arrive. In the UK border pilot, data on Polish chilled meat exports to the UK can be delivered to border agencies up to 20 hours in advance.
For the Web3 industry, these may not be as exciting as '100x coins,' but for real international trade scenarios, this is the best example of efficiency gains and real blockchain applications: faster documents, earlier customs clearance, lower costs, and more transparent regulation. For traditional enterprises, we can see that originally week-long or hour-long document processing flows can be compressed to '5 minutes' in the future.
This efficiency boost is a real reduction in logistics and storage costs, and it's also an entry ticket for more small and medium-sized exporters to participate in international competition. By the way, this data was achieved during the Web3 bear market. Some projects 'bury their heads in the sand' during bear markets, while others are 'building foundations' during bear markets.
When I was in school, my father always told me: 'Slow is fast.' It means doing the right thing first and then doing it correctly. If it's the wrong thing, no matter how much or how fast you do it, it's worthless. I've been practicing this until now. Few Web3 projects practice this concept, but BTC, ETH, BNB, and IOTA do.
