Blockchain Awards 2024 - Alastria
Alastria announces the second edition of the Blockchain Awards, which aim to identify, value and recognize the most relevant initiatives in the transformation of organizations that are generating an innovative impact on the business and/or the economy thanks to the use of Blockchain.
All organizations that have carried out a project related to digital transformation or development that adds value to the service they offer, to the business model they develop, to the sector of activity to which they belong and/or to the customer experience, based on Blockchain as a core part of its functionality, are eligible to be awarded.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

- Solutions using Blockchain technology with a high potential for growth and scalability based on the data and estimates presented.
- Blockchain applications that provide measurable differential value through the development of innovation, technology or new disruptive business models.
- Blockchain-based projects that generate a positive impact, through economic growth, employability, insertion of disadvantaged sectors, education, or any other measurable improvement in society or for the planet.
