WISeKey's subsidiary, SEALCOIN, is making significant progress as it gears up for its token launch this summer. In preparation, SEALCOIN AG has introduced the latest version of its WhitePaper, showcasing an enhanced tokenomics model designed to better support long-term network goals and security. This new framework aims to elevate both the utility and governance of the soon-to-be-launched TIOT token, fostering sustainable growth and value for all stakeholders.

Additionally, SEALCOIN has officially launched the Minimum Viable Product of its platform, which is now fully integrated with Hedera’s public distributed ledger technology (DLT). The platform has entered its beta testing phase, involving a select group of users who are assessing real-time, peer-to-peer device transactions. Building on its first successful technical Proof-of-Concept in July 2024, SEALCOIN has accomplished a breakthrough device-to-device transaction via satellite in April 2025, in collaboration with WISeSat. This milestone showcases SEALCOIN’s capacity to enable secure microtransactions between remote IoT devices, even in off-grid settings, marking a significant advancement for decentralized infrastructure.
