BlockChain Awards 2025

The Alastria Blockchain Awards 2025 aim to identify, value and recognise the most relevant initiatives in digital transformation, organisational innovation, business and/or the economy through the use of Blockchain/DLT technology.

All organisations that have carried out a project related to digital transformation or development that adds value to the service they offer, the business model they develop, the sector they belong to and/or the customer experience, with Blockchain as a central part of its functionality, are eligible to be awarded the Alastria Blockchain Awards 2025.

Likewise, in this edition, for the first time, the dissemination work carried out by communication professionals on the most prominent Blockchain/DLT initiatives, as well as the leadership and contribution of women to the development of the blockchain ecosystem, will be recognised.
