The gap between AI potential and AI adoption isn't technical; it's practical. This Thursday, our Founder & CEO, @0x7SUN, is leading a hands-on workshop with @UNDP and @UNDP_AltFinLab, guiding staff to build their first AI agents and applying them to real workflows. Whether you’re working in planning, operations, data, or human resources, you’re welcome to join and share feedback. 📅 March 19, 2026 at 8:30 AM GMT | Live on FLock’s 𝕏 and LinkedIn

🌟 Our latest publication, New tech, new partners: Transforming development in the digital era, is now featured on @Cointelegraph. It reflects how we approach blockchain as part of a wider effort to help governments build more responsive, transparent, and inclusive public systems. ✨ Who shapes those systems, and who benefits from them?

🪪 Digital identity keeps showing up across UN work. Access to services, targeting, inclusion, protection, accountability, and more. Still, the hardest part is delivery in real contexts! 🌟 Blockchain Talks is back, and you are invited this time to explore what blockchain-enabled digital ID + privacy-preserving approaches can realistically support in practice.

Armenia isn't waiting for global treaties. They're building blockchain-verified plastic tracking now. UNDP pilot. Government partnership. Real deployment. Each kilogram recovered is verified with photo, GPS, and timestamp. Then anchored on Cardano. This is what institutional adoption looks like.

Yesterday, we hosted an invitation-only workshop in Copenhagen for a select group of Danish NGOs together with our partners @UNDP_AltFinLab, @StellarOrg Development Foundation, @ADVORA_LawFirm, and @AryzeOfficial. The goal? To help NGOs explore where and how blockchain can add practical value to everyday operations - from saving time and money on cross-border payments to product tracking and funding strategies. A big thank you to all the attendees and to our partners who helped make the workshop possible 🙌 You can read more about the workshop and key insights in this article: nordicblockchain.com/news-articles/…

Real-world use cases like this show how blockchain supports humanitarian aid when grounded in local context and strong partnerships. @UNDP supports similar cases to help countries move from one-off projects to trusted digital infrastructure; to make assistance faster and more accountable to the people it is meant to reach. 📘 Explore these cases in our latest publication! undp.org/publications/n…

💫 Yesterday, we kicked off this year’s #BlockchainAcademy, empowering @UN colleagues to explore how this technology can drive development goals. 🔹 We introduced the Academy's second iteration, showing how it connects to our wider mission and real work. 🔹 Experts from the @AlgoFoundation Foundation shared their experiences working on blockchain for social impact and how they will support learners. 🔹 We then broke into rooms covering digital payments, identity, supply chains, tokenization, and carbon credits, engaging directly with unique local challenges to showcase transformative potential. 🌟 This was just the appetizer. Deep dives are rolling out in the weeks ahead! To our new cohort: Welcome aboard. 👋

Building for industrial-scale impact is exactly why we’re proud to have @Plastiks_io in our #SDGBlockchainAccelerator. This shift toward a stable, compliance-ready foundation is a massive step for institutional trust. Let’s keep building! ♻️🌍
Plastiks ♻️@Plastiks_io

Celo was our first chain. Solid tech. Great people. But we migrated to Cardano (@Cardano) because it's how we'll process hundreds of millions of tons of plastic waste. Here's how and why: (1/4) Reason 1: Predictability. Cardano (@Cardano) has been running for years. No surprise pivots. No "starting over." Compliance infrastructure demands a stable foundation. (2/4) Reason 2: Shared values. Cardano (@Cardano) operates with open governance. So do we. Our whole model runs on verification and transparency. The chain reflects what we stand for. (3/4) Reason 3: Enterprise readiness. What we learned from b2c? Everyone talks about saving the planet. Few open their wallets. Cardano (@Cardano) is built for institutional players. That's exactly where we operate. (4/4) We didn't choose Cardano (@Cardano) for funding. We chose it because industrial-scale compliance infrastructure requires an industrial-scale blockchain. And every verification we complete? A Cardano transaction.

How do most companies prove EPR compliance today? → Spreadsheets across 15 email threads → Third-party statements with no underlying evidence → Manual audits that cost a fortune and take months → Fragmented data between suppliers and recyclers Result? High admin burden. High audit risk. High greenwashing exposure. Now imagine: Timestamped. Geolocated. Blockchain-anchored evidence chains. We provide this for @UNDP_AltFinLab via the help of @EMURGOLabs Now it’s time to scale from 10 million tons... To 100s of millions of tons of plastics recycled per year.
