Blockchain for Good Breakout Room @EthCC

​​🚨 Decentralized Tools for Humanitarian Action and Development Aid 🆘
An EthCC[8] Breakout Session

​​How are blockchain, tokens, and decentralized tools actually being used today to reshape humanitarian crisis response and development aid across the globe?

​After the spectacular showcase of solidarity following the invasion in Ukraine, how can the Web3 community help NGOs reinvent themselves in the face of a global humanitarian funding drop from $212 billion in 2024 to $60 billion less in 2025?

​​Can this looming catastrophe — with devastating consequences for those who need help the most, especially as conflicts and instability intensify around the globe — become an opportunity to hack humanitarian action and the aid system altogether?

​​Devs, smart contract wizards, protocol hackers,

​Governance nerds, community builders, and coordination maximalists,

​Cryptographers, economists, protocol theorists,

​Those here for the vibes or the purpose,

​Join forces with humanitarian experts who will share their current use cases and biggest problems 

​​...come with your ideas, your questions, your curiosity, and your perspective — this session is about building bridges between ecosystems and igniting new ideas.

​​Two key questions will guide our conversation:

​​1. What can decentralized tools improve about what NGOs are already doing today?

​2. What entirely new possibilities do these tools unlock — things that simply weren’t possible before?

​​Yes, we’ll talk about decentralized finance, funding flows, and aid mechanisms but we’ll also explore non-financial decentralized tools that allow, for instance, resilient, credibly-neutral communication in conflict areas to facilitate deconfliction, or digital identity for stateless people to access and exert their rights.

​​Join us for a breakout session in the spirit of Ethereum’s early days: no recordings, no slides — just open dialogue, shared experience, collective intelligence, and radical collaboration.

​​We’ll be sitting in a circle for this session, hosted by three members of The Blockchain for Good Association (yes, the French one 😉) Pierre, Alexandra, and Jacques-André, joined by several inspiring changemakers from humanitarian and development organizations, such as UNICEF, the French Red Cross, Médecins Sans Frontières, and Mercy Corps Ventures.
