UNDP AltFinLab @UNDP_AltFinLab

How do we ensure AI agents are accountable, verifiable, and trustworthy? Join our founder & CEO @0x7SUN tomorrow at UN Blockchain Talk #9 with @UNDP_AltFinLab, @UN_Innovation, @NEARWEEK, and @MasumiNetwork for a discussion on AI agents, federated learning, and what blockchain can help verify. Link to join👇

✨ At @proofoftalk in Paris, the #SDGBlockchainAccelerator Impact Showcase connected practical blockchain use cases with builders and ecosystem actors. One outcome of this session was the new partner conversations for cohort 3 of the accelerator, which will open soon...

🌟 As this is the ninth and final Blockchain Talk of the season, we hope you can join us for a practical closing discussion on one of the most active intersections in digital public infrastructure. 👇 undp.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

🌟 @UNDP’s Blockchain Advisory Group is now officially launched, opening a new structured space with senior leaders from across the blockchain ecosystem. For us, this is part of a longer effort to move the blockchain for development conversation into a more responsible space.

Just back from Paris 🇫🇷 after two great days with the @UNDP team and the Blockchain Advisory Group. One perspective I shared: while token ledgers have driven the first wave of blockchain use cases, the real impact of the technology for public good will come from compute. The combination of sovereign cloud infrastructure and AI is where things become transformative. AI is becoming both the most powerful builder and the most capable attacker. At the same time, critical digital infrastructure is often dependent on foreign providers, with growing concerns around control, resilience, and data sovereignty. Cloud Engines address this directly by enabling tamperproof, always-on, sovereign environments where AI can build and operate software. This is already taking shape with forward-looking governments like Pakistan @digitalauthpk and upcoming offering from the @swisssubnet Cloud Engines. For governments, NGOs, and enterprises, this is not just an upgrade. It is a new foundation to secure an important lifeline of modern economies: compute. Appreciation to the @UNDP_AltFinLab for convening and driving these important discussions at the intersection of governments, NGOs, and technology companies. Looking forward to strengthening the collaboration with the UNDP team as well as contributing to the Advisory Group. Stay tuned!

Pleasure to co-host the dialogue on #ScalingBlockchainForPublicGood w/@sciencespo. Responsible public sector adoption starts w/trust, stronger institutions, better governance & interoperability. Long-term partnerships are🔑to bridging innovation➕implementation. @UNDP_AltFinLab

How can technology help deliver better services for people? This week in Paris, @UNDP launched its Blockchain Advisory Group to explore practical solutions for financial inclusion, digital public infrastructure & stronger public systems. go.undp.org/q9g #ScalingBlockchainForPublicGood

✨ Today at @sciencespo, we moved into the policy room, focusing on institutional readiness, governance that can hold trust and people-centred services. The #GovernmentBlockchainAcademy was also introduced as a practical route into that work. 🌟 More from the full recap soon...

🌟 After @proofoftalk and the launch of the @UNDP Blockchain Advisory Group, #ScalingBlockchainForPublicGood moves today into a public-policy and government-facing setting at @sciencespo. Follow along as the programme continues to unfold!

In South Sudan, Cameroon and Zambia, @pbtokn is testing MultiKnip, a purpose-bound digital grant wallet for women and youth entrepreneurs, helping them access funds and spend them with vetted suppliers. Go.undp.org/55e

In Armenia, @Plastiks_io is testing blockchain-based traceability connecting plastic recovery and recycling efforts with verifiable records. For environmental action, trusted data can help connect local work with wider accountability. Go.undp.org/55e

In The Gambia, @FreedomPayWalet is testing how mobile payments and simple digital records can help entrepreneurs build usable financial histories. This matters for people who may be active in the economy but remain invisible to formal financial systems. Go.undp.org/55e

Today we launched the @UNDP Blockchain Advisory Group, bringing together leaders across the blockchain ecosystem to explore how this technology can contribute to development – from financial inclusion & digital identity to effective public services. go.undp.org/qVG

As @UNDP convenes partners in Paris for #ScalingBlockchainForPublicGood, our publication New Tech, New Partners showcases over 40 solutions using blockchain technology & it is already being tested in development contexts. Read the publication: go.undp.org/55e

Proud to launch the @UNDP Blockchain Advisory Group w/@HaoliangXu at @proofoftalk! @UNDP_AltFinLab Trust, ID, financial inclusion, sustainability & skills—this is about where blockchain can drive real devt impact.🙏for a rich discussion. Let's carry this momentum fwd together!🤝

1.3 billion people still have no access to formal financial services. This afternoon, seven teams are pitching blockchain solutions to change that. Haiti. Liberia. Bangladesh. The Gambia. Each one working directly with @UNDP on the ground to bring financial access, digital identity, and climate finance to the people who need it most. This is why we built a room like this.

🌟 Today in Paris, @UNDP opens #ScalingBlockchainForPublicGood at @proofoftalk. At the Louvre Palace, the programme brings the #SDGBlockchainAccelerator Impact Showcase and the inaugural launch of the UNDP Blockchain Advisory Group.
