Two days. One Forum. History made.
The BGA is proud to have led the first ever global convention focused on #BlockchainForGood. The #BlockchainImpactForum in Copenhagen marked a turning point, where blockchain moved from promise to proof, from pilots to policy-ready solutions, from niche to necessity.
🌍 What We Achieved:
• Convened UN agencies, government officials, Web3 pioneers, and impact builders
• Showcased 35+ real-world blockchain solutions across financial inclusion, climate resilience, and digital identity
• Launched partnerships spanning continents
• Proved that when policy, capital, and technology converge, blockchain becomes infrastructure for inclusive development
📊 The Evidence:
• 50+ pilots deployed globally through SDG Blockchain Accelerator
• 300+ applications from UNDP country offices
• Real impact: Using blockchain for humanitarian aid delivery in Malawi, $6 million+ financed to thousands of farmers globally, 1M+ trees planted through Cardano, and much more.
💡 The Message:
This wasn't about speculation. It was about solutions.
This wasn't about hype. It was about humanity.
This wasn't about getting rich. It was about doing good.
🙏 Gratitude to All Our Sponsors & Partners:

And to every speaker, panelist, moderator, project team, and attendee who traveled to make this possible, you are the changemakers!
2026? We're scaling this movement. Bigger stages. Bolder partnerships. Broader impact.
The future of blockchain isn't just being built, it's being measured in lives changed.
See you at #BGAwards 2026. 🚀

You don’t have to guess anymore.
In our 3rd Mentor Clinic this week, we’re bringing in sponsors from EVERY track.
They know what they’re looking for, and they’ll be there to tell you directly.
If you're building to win, you won't miss this.
We're glad to be the strategic partner for the recent #Shanghai International Hackathon held at @AlibabaGroup HQ!
Our Director of Global Affairs @jg13nn dialled in for a chat with the hackathon participants to share on BGA's developments and activities as well as BGA's new directives for a blockchain x AI for good hackathon, and also on the Alliance's goals of 2026: to promote the importance of #blockchain for #AI in public good.
Well done to all participants building at the convergence of both worlds!

⚡ Glenn Tan (@jg13nn) joins DBW26.
Director of Global Affairs at @ChainforGood, the alliance putting blockchain to work on real-world impact (UNDP, the UN IGF, the House of Lords).
His focus is less about how big blockchain can get, and more about who it should actually serve.

We're proud to announce @ChainforGood Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA) as one of the main sponsors of ctrl/shift 2026.
This will be our third year that BGA is with us, and that continuity means a lot. It's not just a sponsorship. It's a shared belief in what we're building.
We’re very proud to welcome J. Glenn Tan, @jg13nn Director of Global Affairs at the Blockchain for Good Alliance @ChainforGood back for his third year supporting our mission. His continued presence means a lot to us, and we’re grateful for the strong relationship we’ve built.
If you've ever wanted to build a trading agent that makes more decisions than you do, this track exists for you.
@Bybit_Official and @ChainforGood are onboard, betting with API access and capital on the builders who ship best.
🌟 This June in Paris, @UNDP will convene Scaling Blockchain for Public Good, a two-day high-level event bringing together blockchain ecosystem leaders, governments, development organizations, and academic institutions.
On 3 June, the programme will take place at @proofoftalk 2026 at the #Louvre Palace to explore the practical pathways through which blockchain technologies can strengthen public systems and support sustainable development.
✨ The programme will continue the next day at @sciencespo, co-organized with Sciences Po Tech & Global Affairs Innovation Hub, focusing on government engagement and last-mile financial tools.

Just 2 years ago, "blockchain for good" meant transparent supply chains, tokenized aid and #SDG goals.
Today, the most consequential public-good use cases sit at the intersection of #blockchain and #AI, agents that need verifiable identity, models that need auditable provenance, decisions that need on-chain accountability.
AI without trust infrastructure is fast but unaccountable. Blockchain without intelligent agents is verifiable but static. Together, they form the substrate for a new kind of digital public infrastructure.
This is where the Alliance is also focusing next. Blockchain-powered AI for good is not a slogan, but the architecture for the new systems that will move public good, social impact and govern autonomous economies.
The BGA was built for this convergence.
More soon.
We're proud to be a part of @cursor_ai's hackathon last weekend in #Vancouver 🇨🇦!
With over 150 builders and an intense 12 hours of hacking, it was a phenomenal weekend where #blockchain and #AI converged for our BGA track.
Congratulations to our winner, Agentwerkk - a fully autonomous pipeline that gives AI agents an economic identity.
It's not just blockchain bolted onto AI; the on-chain reputation layer is what makes agents accountable and trustworthy... infrastructure that the agent economy actually needs, and a core to the next era where blockchain and AI converges securely.
Fantastic forward-thinking!

#BGAHackathon
We've partnered with @proofoftalk and we're bringing 10 of our strongest members to the Louvre this June.
Proof of Talk has sold out two years in a row. They curate their audience like no other event, with 2,500 seats, no pay-to-speak, 85% decision-makers and dedicated dining experiences.
The kind of event where the person next to you is a CIO at Fidelity, a policy head at Mastercard, a founder at Aave, or a C-level executive at Franklin Templeton, SWIFT, Robinhood, Coinbase, DTCC, Bittensor and more.
We're given 10 seats to allocate and we're giving them to the builders, operators, and decision-makers in our community who deserve to be at this level.
If you're a founder, fund manager, protocol lead, or senior executive, this seat could be yours.

You don't assemble a sponsor lineup like this together by accident.
$100K, contributed by some of the strongest teams in the space across 6 tracks for the Turing Test Hackathon.
They did their part. Now, let yours be on the submission.
What must change for blockchain to mature into trusted digital public infrastructure?
Our report does not leave that question open.
It answers it.
📖 https://t.co/POoLcb3ZJR
✨ Across Cohorts 1 and 2of the #SDGBlockchainAccelerator, government or public-sector entities were involved in 73% of solutions, with more than 120 external partners contributing across the portfolio.
That changes the quality of the work!
🌟 This collaboration map shows the model behind that process: UNDP Country Offices, solution makers, partners, governments, public institutions, local stakeholders, communities, startups, developers, and innovators working around development challenges that already exist.
💫 That is also why the upcoming Demo Day matters!

The goal is not more blockchain projects.
The goal, per our report, is blockchain maturing into trusted digital public infrastructure.
Scope matters.

We didn’t optimize for comfort.
18 judges, spanning across AI infrastructure, venture capital, onchain analytics, and institutional finance.
Phase 2: AI Awakening will be evaluated by these goated individuals who set the standard and rarely need any introductions.
We’re proud to have sponsored the Solar Mini Hacker House alongside @SolanaFndn and @021Labxyz, together with other incredible partners.
Stay tuned for what’s next 🚀
Week 3 of BGA Spring 2026 Incubation. The theme landed clearly: go-to-market.
Broad impact narratives are not enough. The cohort is sharpening the harder questions now.
Who feels the pain most acutely.
Who has budget.
What evidence proves traction.
What must be validated before scaling.
Narrowing Ideal Customer Profiles. Reframing investor materials. Big missions translated into practical next steps.
Understanding your opportunity, and who pays for it, leads to stronger GTM discipline and can turn impact into adoption.
3 weeks in. The work is real. 👊
