Global forum honors blockchain projects advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Blockchain is increasingly being applied beyond finance to track, verify, and scale solutions addressing global challenges.
Projects aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are gaining international recognition, and at the Blockchain Impact Forum 2025, the most notable initiatives were honored with awards.
A Global Gathering for Blockchain and Impact
The forum, organized by the Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA) in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme’s Alternative Finance Lab (UNDP AltFinLab), brought together more than 300 participants from over 30 countries, including policymakers, technologists, and impact leaders.
Over two days, discussions explored how blockchain can increase transparency, support new financing models, and strengthen institutional trust, with a particular focus on digital public goods, financial inclusion, and sustainability initiatives.
The event featured panels, keynotes, and project showcases across three main themes. Digital public goods sessions examined governance and transparent data systems. Finance for inclusion and impact focused on equitable access to capital, while sustainability and climate accountability highlighted blockchain applications in carbon tracking, supply chain monitoring, and ESG reporting.
Helen Liu, co-CEO of Bybit and founder of the Blockchain for Good Alliance, said: “What we witnessed in Copenhagen is a movement taking shape — where blockchain offers a shared infrastructure for trust and accountability.”

During the forum, projects tackling challenges in financial inclusion, sustainability, and digital trust were recognized and awarded.
