Wallet to follow soon
Today we have two exciting announcements that are intertwined and has been in the making for a long time.

BOSCH's venture capital arm Robert Bosch Venture Capital (RBVC)) has decided to acquire a sizable amount of IOTA tokens for holding, as a strategic step towards enabling the Machine-2-Machine economy.

Additionally RBVC partner and BOSCH veteran Hongquan Jiang is officially joining the IOTA Foundation as an advisor.

As promised, please download the latest wallet from here: https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/releases/tag/v2.5.5

This new wallet introduces some major changes, such as moving away from Reattachements, to Transaction Promotion, which after further analysis, has proven to significantly increase transaction confirmations and the Tangle reliability.

Really happy to announce that the IOTA Foundation has been selected by the Tokyo Metropolitan government's accelerator program. This will help us work together with Japanese companies and they will assist us in setting up an office in Japan. Excited for what is to come in Japan, and more broadly in Asia!

We will be providing an update on the reclaims issue ASAP - now that the network is in a more healthy state, we should be able to send back the reclaims as soon as our verification tools are completed.
