Madrid, 30/10/2025. – Alastria, the public-permissioned blockchain platform and meeting point for the development of distributed ledger technologies, brought together the Spanish blockchain ecosystem last night at a gala held at the Movistar Arena in Madrid. The event celebrated the projects and professionals driving the real-world adoption of blockchain across key economic sectors, in the third edition of its Blockchain Awards 2025.
The winning projects of this edition were SSITIZENS (Izertis), Digital Gold (Prosegur Crypto), OpenBrick (OpenBrick), CleanNature.io (Sercampo), OnePass Bridge (FundingBox) and BePlastic (Fujitsu). In addition, Paula Pascual Cortés, founder of MERGE Madrid, was recognised as Most Influential Woman in Blockchain, and Covadonga Fernández, director of Observatorio Blockchain, received the award for Best Journalistic / Educational Work on Blockchain.
The awards were presented during a gala hosted by Rosa del Blanco, writer, journalist and communications strategist specialising in the financial and technology sectors. The ceremony opened with remarks from Daniela Corredor, COO of Alastria, who highlighted the ecosystem’s tangible progress: “44% of the projects surveyed in our latest blockchain report are already in the commercialisation phase, and that means clients, contracts, revenue and jobs,” she said, adding that “disruption is achieved through consistency and results.”
The event also featured an innovative keynote by Pau García-Milà, entrepreneur and technology communicator. “The evolution of AI is exponential: in 2021, cloning a voice required 70 hours of audio; in 2022, 8 hours; in 2023, 30 minutes; and in 2024, barely 5 minutes. Today, it is very cheap to cause harm with these tools, and that is precisely why technologies like blockchain and responsible regulation are no longer a promise, but a necessity,” he concluded.
During the closing remarks, Miguel Ángel Domínguez, President of Alastria, expressed his appreciation to all participants and finalists, and highlighted the consolidation of the ecosystem and the international reach of this year’s edition, which received submissions from across Spain and from countries such as Poland, the United Kingdom and Colombia. “Tonight, all the stages of Alastria’s history come together,” he said, referring to the presence of historic members of the organisation. Ignacio Azorín González, Director General of Digital Strategy of the Community of Madrid, announced the imminent completion of the region’s blockchain network deployment: “With the Blockchain Services Infrastructure of Spain, we are laying the rails for the digital innovation that will shape the Community of Madrid, and we are committed to continuing to build with this technology.”
This third edition of Alastria’s Blockchain Awards was organised with the support of the Blockchain and Digital Transformation Clusters of the Community of Madrid, and comma, a strategic communications consultancy.
