UNDP’s High-Level Strategic Dialogue on Blockchain for Development

As part of its continued commitment to advancing responsible blockchain adoption, InfStones participated in the High-Level Strategic Dialogue on Blockchain for Development, hosted by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on the margins of the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA80) in New York City.

Shaping a Shared Vision for Blockchain and Sustainable Development

This gathering marked the first in a series of dialogues that will define how blockchain technology can accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The session convened global leaders, innovators, and blockchain organizations to establish a shared vision for responsible and inclusive innovation, emphasizing blockchain’s core strengths — trust, transparency, traceability, and accountability.

The dialogue focused on identifying opportunities for collaboration between the public and private sectors, development institutions, and blockchain companies. Discussions also explored pathways toward creating a Blockchain Advisory Group, aimed at fostering continued cooperation and advancing blockchain for social good.

Why UNDP’s Leadership Matters

The UNDP plays a crucial role in bridging technology and sustainable development, guiding how emerging tools like blockchain can be leveraged for financial inclusion, transparent governance, climate resilience, and equitable access to opportunity. By engaging the blockchain industry in early-stage conversations, UNDP ensures that innovation aligns with real-world human needs and global sustainability priorities.

This dialogue underscored UNDP’s forward-thinking approach — positioning blockchain not merely as a financial instrument but as infrastructure for trust and accountability that can strengthen institutions and empower communities worldwide.

InfStones’ Role in Advancing Responsible Blockchain Infrastructure

As a global leader in blockchain infrastructure, InfStones’ participation in this strategic dialogue reflects its commitment to enabling secure, scalable, and accessible networks that support meaningful impact. With a platform that powers thousands of nodes across 80+ blockchains, InfStones continues to build the technical foundation for resilient, transparent, and inclusive blockchain ecosystems.

By contributing to these discussions, InfStones helped highlight the critical importance of infrastructure integrity, interoperability, and governance in scaling blockchain for development. These principles align closely with the UNDP’s vision of responsible innovation — ensuring that the technology’s benefits reach those who need them most.

A First Step Toward Global Collaboration

The High-Level Strategic Dialogue represents the beginning of a longer-term conversation between the blockchain ecosystem and the United Nations. Through continued collaboration and shared understanding, this initiative aims to transform how the world uses blockchain to tackle global challenges — from transparency in aid delivery to climate action and inclusive finance.

InfStones is honored to contribute to this journey, working alongside international institutions and blockchain leaders to co-design a future where technology and sustainability move forward together.
