The IOTA Foundation has announced its participation in the creation of a new mobility industry consortium aimed at developing Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) standards, pilot projects, and open source software tools. This new consortium is called the MOBI Alliance (MOBI stands for Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative).
The IOTA Foundation is really happy and proud to be part of the MOBI Alliancehttps://t.co/32snXr0nKP#IOTA

The MOBI Alliance, in addition to IOTA, is made up of leaders in the mobility and DLT industry, including Bosch, Groupe Renault, BMW, Ford, General Motors, and ZF.
Why DLT? DLT helps to improve driving safety and affordability, supports autonomous and electric vehicle development and infrastructure, emphasizes ride and car-share programs, and connects local participants in a peer-to-peer ecosystem.
IOTA's roles in the MOBI Alliance will revolve around finding they attempt to use blockchain and DLT to create a digital mobility ecosystem. This digital mobility ecosystem would help make transportation safer, more affordable, and more widely available. IOTA and the other members of the consortium will be working towards a digital environment in which businesses and consumers can securely record driving data, manage ride and car-share transactions, and store vehicle identity and usage information.

Charles Hoskinson released a video last week discussing some of Cardano's developments and future protection. Included in those protection was the Zen Protocol event in Israel. Hoskinson later revealed that he was also in the country to submit medical papers on Ouroboros Praos, Cardano's secure Proof-of-Stake (PoS) algorithm.
Ouroboros Praos was submitted to Eurocrypto, an International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) conference that peer reviews cryptographic papers. IACR holds a large archive, called e-print, for these papers. Excitingly, the Ouroboros Praos has been accepted for the e-print – this is a huge step for Cardano.
