Big move for digital, Sharia-compliant microfinance in Afghanistan.

HesabPay has partnered with Mutahid Microfinance Institution, with facilitation from UNCDF, to digitize the full microfinance lifecycle — from loan application and approval to disbursement and repayment.

This collaboration enables borrowers to:
* Apply for Sharia-compliant financing digitally
* Receive funds seamlessly
* Manage repayments through the HesabPay app, branches, or nationwide agent network

This is not just a partnership — it’s infrastructure for inclusion. By removing friction and increasing transparency, we are setting a new standard for how microfinance operates in a digital economy.

The future of microfinance in Afghanistan is accessible, efficient, and fully digital — and this is just the beginning.

🚨PLEBIS IS NOW LIVE FOR EVERYONE 🚨

🔗 Blockchain Governance is broken🔗

Not because the mechanisms don't work. Because there's simply too much noise. Too much confusion.

Proposals scatter across chains. Voting records vanish into block explorers. Communities make decisions worth millions with little to know context or understanding.

We built Plebis to fix that.

🚪Today we're opening the doors. MVP beta is live. 🚪

Plebis is a governance intelligence platform.

One place to track, analyze, and understand on-chain governance. Our MVP ecosystems include @cosmos Hub, @osmosis , @injective , @axelar , @agoric , @Stargaze.

What's inside:

🔥 Circus Maximus: compare governance activity across every chain, side by side
🔥 The Library: 2,400+ proposals, fully searchable, with complete voting histories
🔥 The Oracle: an AI assistant that summarizes proposals, answers questions, and surfaces what matters
🔥Proprietary indices tracking ecosystem sentiment, staking activity, turnout, and governance health
🔥Validator intelligence with our own grading system
🔥 Leaderboards ranking the most active governance participants
🔥Vox Populi: community sentiment, aggregated and analyzed

This isn't a voting tool. This is the data layer governance has been missing.

Our position on AI is simple: it should inform your decisions, never make them for you. The Oracle clarifies. You decide.

Come see what governance looks like when you can actually see it.

This September, the Algorand Foundation hosted the Humanitarian Aid Payments Council in Berlin.

Leaders across humanitarian aid, finance, and blockchain convened to discuss how to scale blockchain-enabled payments for humanitarian assistance.

Featuring insights from @UNDP, @MCSocialVenture, @getpaycode and @coalapay.

Aid in fragile settings is often costly and slow.

In Syria, we piloted stablecoin payouts with @mercycorps, @HesabPay_ and Pioneers Innovation to deliver stablecoins to farmers — focused on speed, security, and transparency.

Restoring trust in aid through blockchain and The Aid Trust Portal. Aid is too important for too many to let it go. If we don’t change the narrative, those who have the least will suffer most. We have the tech to flip the script.@AlgoFoundation @Refugees @StateDept @elonmusk

Time for a @HesabPay_ update:

Last update was 46 days ago.

Circulating market cap increased from $37,000,000 to $48,000,000 for an average addition of $239,000 daily. This is $90,000 more daily than last period.

In the last thirty days, there was $62,900,000 transferred on chain. This is $12,000,000 more than the last time we looked.

I don't see Syria yet anywhere, but there is no slow down in Afghanistan.

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

Algorand just hit the huge milestone of 3 billion transactions.

The first billion took 1,297 days.
The second billion took 529 days.
The third billion took 336 days.

Algorand is speeding up, not slowing down.

All with 0 downtime.

A second Indian project has gone live on the Algorand mainnet 🇮🇳

@SEWAFed is using blockchain-based identity and document verification to grow access from 40,000 women today to millions more, helping low-income working women and their families access vital services.

@Algo_Bharat brings another impactful project on-chain.

[Algorand Foundation @AlgoFoundation]

Indian project @MannDeshiOrg is now live on Algorand 🇮🇳

Mann Deshi has already supported 390,000+ women through microloans and training.

Now they are bringing access to finance to thousands of women microentrepreneurs through a blockchain-based digital credit scorecard.

@Algo_Bharat is bringing India on-chain.

[Mercy Corps Ventures @MCSocialVenture]

Delivering cash in rural Afghanistan is tough — but digital tools offer new hope.

We’re piloting digital currency payments with @HesabPay & CDDO to reach 100 households via blockchain & local connectivity hubs.

A new model for last-mile aid.📲🇦🇫

Wow. Well well said.

[BWA Deutschland @BWA_Vorstand]

On the Inequality of Compassion - Statement of our Chairman Michael Schumann after his return from Antalya Diplomacy Forum:

”Let it be said at the outset - every loss of human life that occurs under the shadow of war, whether amid the thunder of artillery or the quieter horror of so-called “precision strikes“, is an event of relentless tragedy, a rupture in the fabric of humanity that no rhetorical balm can mend. The grief of the bereaved, like the guilt borne by those who, whether by command or complicit silence, have helped bring it about, runs so deep that it weighs heavily on the souls of all involved - often across generations.

And yet, how strangely varied are the responses these tragedies evoke in our collective consciousness! When rockets fall on Sumy, when children perish and families are obliterated, a chorus of outrage rises swiftly across the capitals of Europe - amplified by headlines, commentary, and statesmanlike pronouncements. But when similar horrors occur in Gaza - with a regularity that numbs the conscience and perpetrated by leaders of nations we call friends or partners - those same voices fall silent, or at best, retreat into the hushed murmur of diplomatic platitudes, as though the unspeakable might be rendered tolerable through polite evasion.

I have just returned from a conference in Türkiye, attended by numerous representatives of Arab nations - cultivated, clear-eyed individuals whose questions were born not of resentment, but of a sincere longing for moral coherence. They asked, not without bitterness, yet with just cause: Where is Europe’s outrage in the face of the suffering in their part of the world?

What reveals itself here - and it is a phenomenon of deeply troubling significance - is a distortion of perception, both in the media and society at large: a quiet, creeping hierarchy of human suffering, which leads us to distinguish between victims of the first and those of the second order. This, I fear, will not go without consequence. For once justice is made relative, it tends to recede - and the accusation against us, who have relativized it, will one day return with doubled force, like all that has been suppressed, and come and haunt us at a high cost.“
