- A university thesis proposes a blockchain-based lawmaking system built on $IOTA Identity and Move.
- $IOTA’s real-world adoption expands into legal, governance, and public sector infrastructure.
The University of Bologna has proposed in a new academic thesis that $IOTA should be used to overhaul the legislative process with the help of a blockchain-based structure. Arianna Arruzzoli has already done it and created a three-layer model that hopes to implement the separation of powers using technology rather than pledges. The project is named Design and Implementation of a Multi-level Architecture in Separation of Power in the Legislative Process.
This system includes a private chain per institution, a shared layer for inter-chamber coordination, and a public chain for finalized laws. Every action is recorded and cannot be erased. No single actor has control over the full system, reducing reliance on institutional trust.
#$IOTA makes it possible: a Parliament that can never lie to history.
At the University of Bologna @Unibo, a new thesis has just shown how $IOTA can be used to redesign the way laws are made, from the inside, using blockchain to enforce separation of powers by architecture, not…— Salima (@Salimasbegum) January 12, 2026
The technical foundation uses smart contracts written in Move, $IOTA Identity for decentralized verification, and legal structuring aligned with Akoma Ntoso. These tools allow the model to function within real legal parameters while offering cost-efficiency and scalability. The project was tested successfully and is not just conceptual.
As CNF reported, $IOTA’s broader mission has shifted toward practical adoption. Founder Dominik Schiener recently stated that $IOTA has no reliance on memecoins or short-term incentives but on enterprise-level infrastructure and compliance-driven solutions.
$IOTA’s Focus on Adoption in 2026
In recent months, $IOTA has positioned itself as a trusted infrastructure provider across public and private sectors. During this time, $IOTA has been working with Korea-based partners to support paperless trade infrastructure. Although Korea has modernized most of its national systems, cross-border activities continue to rely on paper and manual trust layers. This is what $IOTA and its partner TWIN would like to address through the open, decentralized architecture.
As described by CNF, the $IOTA Foundation concluded 2025 by renewing its mission to provide technology that will scale across industries. The main announcements were the real-world tokenization pilot and long-term decentralized identity support. At his end-of-year address, Schiener remarked that $IOTA was now positioned better than ever to scale adoption and work with institutions.
Meanwhile, $IOTA Identity has been progressively becoming a primary pillar of the network’s product range. According to the reports, it has since been tested in a variety of institutional pilots and is now being used as part of the Bologna thesis. This scholarly consolidation demonstrates the protocol orientation by real-life governance and compliance application cases.
However, despite the team’s development steps, $IOTA price action has not reflected the optimism. In the last 30 days and 7 days, the $IOTA price has dropped 3.16% and 15%, respectively, with the price hovering between resistance and support levels of $0.11 and $0.07. At press time, bears were still in control, with the $IOTA price trading at $0.09593, a 3.53% decline from the 24-hour high.
