Web3 can give more power to online creators, enabling them to experiment without the fear of deplatforming, says new LUKSO COO. Creators have long been on the mercy of centalized online platforms, like Google, Meta and Spotify. These platforms can change the rules however they see fit, impacting a creator’s reach, and earnings. LUKSO (LYX) is one of the companies that hopes to use Web3 to give more power to creators. The company has recently announced appointing Jan-Oliver Sell as the new Chief Operating Officer. Sell, the former Managing Director at Coinbase Germany, shared his insights on the potentials of Web3 for creators with crypto.news. crypto.news: AI has enabled many more people to become creators. However, there are many creators who are concerned with the rise of AI and what it means for them. How does AI fit in LUKSO’s vision of empowering creators?Jan-Oliver Sell: AI is reshaping creativity, but it also raises questions about authorship, attribution, and accountability. The focus with LUKSO is on giving AI systems a verifiable presence on-chain—through Universal Profiles. A Universal Profile isn’t just for humans; it can also serve as a digital identity for AI agents. This allows AI to act on-chain transparently—sign transactions, publish content, hold assets, and interact with other profiles—all under a persistent, verifiable identity. The Universal Profile can link to off-chain training data sources, reference models it was trained on, and log actions for accountability.

Multiple people—such as developers, curators, or safety auditors—can be granted permission to manage the AI’s profile through LUKSO’s LSP6 key manager standard. This enables safe, collaborative oversight of AI agents. The profile can even build a following, earn a reputation, and evolve socially—just like a human creator. CN: How does LUKSO tackle intellectual property rights, and how does that fit into the existing IP laws? JS: LUKSO is not a fixed system with a set of functionality, but like Ethereum a sandbox for unlimited ways to solve things. Like Intellectual property, which can be more transparently managed through technology. Instead of replacing legal systems, the focus is on enhancing them—allowing creators to attach licenses, metadata, and provenance directly to digital assets. This provides a clearer, tamper-proof trail of ownership and rights, helping bridge traditional IP law with the evolving digital landscape. CN: LUKSO promotes itself as the blockchain for the creator economy. Can you outline the problems with centralized platforms like Instagram or Spotify for creators? JS: Centralized platforms are closed systems. They control who sees what, how creators earn, and what features are allowed. Creators are at the mercy of shifting algorithms, opaque policies, and data silos they don’t own or control. With LUKSO’s LSP smart contract standards, especially Universal Profiles, the focus is on shifting that power dynamic. Universal Profiles are fully on-chain, censorship-resistant, and publicly accessible. This means creators own their identity and content, and anyone can read or interact with that data—fans, apps, platforms, or even new protocols. No one can shut it down or shadow-ban a profile. Once published, it’s part of a shared, permissionless space. You might also like:AI flattens creativity. Blockchain is how we save it | Opinion This open foundation enables entirely new types of relationships between creators, communities, and developers. Fans can build tools on top of creators’ profiles. Artists can experiment freely without fear of deplatforming. And new protocols can emerge that treat creators as sovereign participants, not just content suppliers. It’s a better environment for innovation, freedom, and sustainable connection. CN: What are the advantages of Web3 platforms compared to centralized platforms? What are some challenges that Web3 is facing?  JS: Web3 introduces transparency, ownership, and user agency. It allows creators to monetize directly, own their audience, and operate without platform gatekeepers. However, mainstream adoption is held back by complexity—unfamiliar tools, confusing interfaces, and security concerns. That’s why I tackled it by rethinking user accounts from the ground up with Universal Profiles—bringing smart, recoverable, and user-friendly blockchain identities to the Web3 experience.What holds web3 back is not the tools and dApps, but the foundations, the pure private key account system, and the lack of a proper standardised smart contract-based account system. This is now solved and available for all web3 through the LUKSO Standards Proposals (LSPs). CN: Despite the advantages of decentralization, we have seen centralized entities consistently pop up even in the blockchain space. For instance, CEXs and memecoin launchpads, popular for their accessibility. Can decentralized platforms ever close the accessibility gap?  JS: Decentralized systems often face hurdles in scalability, speed, and user experience. These limitations have led to the rise of centralized intermediaries even within Web3—because they offer the ease and speed people are used to. But with the right standards, that gap doesn’t just close—it becomes an opportunity to leap ahead. We rebuild the user experience layer using Universal Profiles and new standards that make blockchain accounts smart, recoverable, and extensible. This transforms the user interface of Web3 into something more intuitive and powerful than Web2. You might also like:Creator economy 2.0: AI and web3 define the digital success | Opinion What truly sets it apart is composability. In Web2, apps and platforms are siloed—you can’t take Instagram and plug it into Spotify. In LUKSO’s ecosystem, you can embed protocols directly into profiles. A single mini-app can serve as a token launchpad, event ticketing system, or fan token claim tool. When embedded into a Universal Profile within UniversalEverything.io, the profile itself becomes the app: an artist’s profile becomes their ticket store, a project’s profile becomes their launchpad. This level of modularity and cross-functionality doesn’t exist in Web2. With proper standards, decentralization can not only match the convenience of centralized platforms—it can surpass it by offering greater flexibility, ownership, and creative potential. CN: What are the key areas that LUKSO is focusing on to help creators?  JS: The focus with LUKSO is on building the digital infrastructure creators need to thrive—where identity, ownership, and creativity are deeply integrated into the blockchain itself. Key areas include: Universal Profiles: Smart, on-chain accounts that serve as a creator’s digital identity. They hold assets, reputation, and permissions—allowing creators to build trust, history, and interaction across any platform. Token standards (LSP7 for fungible, LSP8 for NFTs): These standards go beyond legacy formats like ERC20 or ERC721, enabling automation, real-time reactions, and seamless integration with profiles and apps. UniversalEverything.io: An open, composable frontend where creators and developers can explore the ecosystem, build mini-apps, and create new experiences for their fanbases. It’s like a living dashboard for the decentralized web—where a profile is not just a presence, but a programmable space. Together, these components form a foundation where creators aren’t locked into platforms—they own their identity, data, and audience, and they can grow their ecosystem on their own terms.

In a push towards overhauling global trade systems, the IOTA Foundation and five prominent international organizations have launched the TWIN Foundation, an initiative aimed at making global trade more sustainable, transparent, and inclusive through decentralized infrastructure. Formed in partnership with the World Economic Forum, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, TradeMark Africa, the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation, and the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade, the TWIN Foundation will govern the Trade Worldwide Information Network (TWIN), an open-source infrastructure built on IOTA’s (IOTA) distributed ledger technology. The announcement was made on May 8 at the AfCFTA Digital Trade Forum in Lusaka, Zambia. This marks a contrast to the recent rise in protectionist trade policies, such as U.S. tariffs and economic warfare under U.S. President Donald Trump. TWIN aims to connect global supply chains, rather than fragment them. “We are betting on a future where IOTA is the decentralized, neutral, open, and immutable digital infrastructure that connects countries and people around the world,” Dominik Schiener, Co-Founder and Chairman of the IOTA Foundation, told crypto.news in an interview. TWIN addresses long-standing inefficiencies in international trade, offering governments smarter border management and the private sector access to new efficiencies and digital services. The platform enables real-time, verifiable data exchange across borders and sectors, leveraging tools like decentralized identifiers, digital product passports, and self-sovereign identity frameworks. Real-world deployments TWIN is already powering real-world deployments worldwide. Examples include: 1) the United Kingdom’s Cabinet Office pilot for poultry imports from the European Union, 2) a blockchain-enabled monitoring hub known as the Virtual Watch Tower, and 3) fresh produce tracking between Kenya and the Netherlands via the RESULD project. These implementations showcase how digital transparency can reduce disruptions, ensure product quality, and align with ESG standards. TWIN is not just a technology stack but a governance-first infrastructure. The Foundation will be responsible for setting standards, ecosystem growth, and long-term sustainability. At its core is an open source, neutral, and financial self-sufficient entity.

Upcoming expansions and a technical deep dive into the infrastructure are expected later this month.  “Just this week, we have upgraded IOTA to the Rebased protocol,” Schiener added. “Exactly because of this network upgrade, we and our partners are confident that IOTA will be the solution on which trade will be digitized and soon billions of assets tokenized.” Below is the entire Q&A with Dominik Schiener, Co-Founder of IOTA and Chairman of the IOTA Foundation. crypto.news: The initiative is being promoted as a counterbalance to recent nationalist trade policies. Why has the IOTA Foundation aligned itself with such a politically hot-topic mission? Can you ensure your involvement remains about providing neutral blockchain infrastructure rather than pushing a specific global policy agenda? Dominik Schiener: The entire reason why Blockchain was created was to remove borders and barriers to create a frictionless system without intermediaries. We are betting on a future where IOTA is the decentralized, neutral, open, and immutable digital infrastructure that connects countries and people around the world.  Our agenda is very simple: We want to make it easier and cheaper for countries to trade with each other. We are not part of any political agenda, but we are driving forward an economic solution. Every country wants to trade more, as it leads to prosperity and global access.  There is a trillion-dollar funding gap in trade finance, and billions of dollars are wasted every year in fraud and inefficiency in a system that is still largely paper-based. TWIN is built to solve these problems.  CN: TWIN is built on IOTA’s distributed ledger, yet it includes heavyweight institutions like the WEF and government-linked organizations. What mechanisms are in place to prevent any one entity from exerting outsized control over the network or the data flowing through it? DS: TWIN is built and operated by a Swiss non-profit, the TWIN Foundation. The TWIN Foundation has a governance board with several globally renowned organizations (including the IOTA Foundation), which make decisions on how the infrastructure evolves and grows. The mandate of the TWIN Foundation is strictly focused on the open-source development of the solution and its global expansion for the betterment of the global economy. The objective of the Foundation is not to make money from the infrastructure itself, but to ensure its continued expansion by connecting more and more countries. Kenya was just the start, and we aim to bring at least dozens of countries on board over the coming years. CN: Some in the crypto community might view IOTA’s partnership with the WEF and the Tony Blair Institute as aligning with a “globalist” establishment. Does working with these prominent institutions compromise IOTA’s independence or the open ethos of blockchain tech? DS: IOTA is and always remains independent and impartial. It is a decentralized network and not controlled by anyone. Our objective since the founding of IOTA has been to work with governments, NGOs, and enterprises to onboard them to the power of permissionless Blockchain networks. We see it as our mission to bring the real world to Web3, and these partnerships with WEF and the Tony Blair Institute are part of realizing this goal. This, in our view, is the way in which we achieve mainstream adoption and bring new users, use cases and assets onchain.  CN: TWIN plans to tokenize trade documents as NFTs and secure them with digital identity verification. Who will govern this new digital identity system, and how can you guarantee that these features enhance data sovereignty rather than create new points of centralized control or surveillance? For instance, what prevents a powerful coalition member from unilaterally accessing or exploiting sensitive trade data under the guise of “inclusive” commerce or security needs? DS: The system itself is fully open-source and standardized, and operates as a smart contract infrastructure on IOTA. Meaning that anyone can utilize and participate in TWIN without asking for permission. This means that there is no need for anyone to “govern” the system itself, but rather just make it seamless to use through integrations into port and customs clearing systems to make these tokenized trade documents accessible and accepted.  All data on TWIN is fully encrypted and owned by the traders themselves. Meaning we are fully GDPR-compliant and self-sovereign. Only if the trader provides consent can data be shared with third parties (e.g., port authorities, customs declarations, or banks for trade finance).  We leverage the full power of open, permissionless Blockchains, self-sovereign identities and verifiable credentials to build an open, decentralized and secure environment for traders to securely share data across borders. CN: IOTA’s technology has faced questions about decentralization in the past (for example, its earlier reliance on a Coordinator node for network security). Now that critical trade infrastructure may rely on your ledger, how are you addressing any lingering centralization or security concerns in the IOTA network itself? If the system still requires any form of special oversight or could be halted in an emergency, doesn’t that undermine trust in this supposedly decentralized trade platform? DS: Just this week, we have upgraded IOTA to the Rebased protocol. This makes IOTA a fully decentralized and production-ready network supporting the MoveVM for programmability on the L1 secured by a decentralized validator set of 150+ validators. Exactly because of this network upgrade, we and our partners are confident that IOTA will be the solution on which trade will be digitized and soon billions of assets tokenized.
