DUBAI, UAE, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), a global non-profit initiative, together with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and EMURGO Labs, has launched the SDG Blockchain Accelerator — a global effort aimed at harnessing blockchain-powered social impact initiatives across the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This program aims to equip UNDP personnel and partners with the knowledge, technology, support, and mentorship necessary to develop, pilot, and scale blockchain-based solutions addressing real-world economic development challenges.
Supported by a global network of industry experts, this multi-year accelerator will onboard two cohorts annually, each running for a four month period, focusing on capacity building, solution development, and ecosystem growth. Leveraging Cardano’s infrastructure and EMURGO Labs’ expertise, the program will deliver up to 40 blockchain solutions aligned with the SDGs, create an open-source resource hub, and promote cross-chain collaboration to broaden the impact of blockchain across the development sector.
Led by BGA Managing Partner Glenn Tan and members of the UNDP AltFinLab, the collaboration will span five global regions, offering funding and strategic support to blockchain projects tackling challenges across the 17 SDGs.
“At UNDP, we believe blockchain is not just a technology — it is a transformative force capable of reshaping how we address humanity’s most pressing challenges. This accelerator program is more than an initiative; it is a call to action for innovators worldwide to harness blockchain’s power to drive sustainable development. By fostering bold collaboration and leveraging its transparency and efficiency, we are paving the way for groundbreaking solutions that can uplift communities globally,” commented Teodor Petricevic, UNDP Accelerator Lead.
As a founding supporter of the Blockchain for Good Alliance, Bybit has worked closely with BGA across various initiatives to promote the use of blockchain for public good. Through its “Bybit Pool” initiative, the crypto exchange has committed US$1 million in funding to support EthicHub, a blockchain platform empowering and enabling smallholder farmers. This contribution supports ethical financing models and showcases blockchain’s potential in building transparent supply chains.
Expanding Impact Across Europe
BGA marked a significant milestone in January 2025 with its formal expansion into Europe, joining the UNDP Brussels Roundtable “Empowering the Future: A Strategic Dialogue on Emerging Technologies and Impact Entrepreneurship in the Western Balkans”. The roundtable brought together 30 key delegates from the UNDP, European Commission, top Web3 foundations, tech hubs, and policy think tanks — including the Ethereum Foundation, Solana Labs, Stellar Development Foundation, Algorand Foundation, Cardano Foundation, Celo, Metis, Cotrugli Business School, Science Technology Park Belgrade, BlackVogel, and the World Metaverse Council.
As part of its broader European strategy, BGA is actively engaging in grassroots initiatives, forging strategic partnerships, and contributing to high-level policy dialogues. With blockchain increasingly recognized as a catalyst for transparent, inclusive, and sustainable development, BGA welcomes collaboration with like-minded organizations to advance real-world solutions and establish blockchain as a pillar of digital equity and innovation across the continent.

Keycard, a hardware wallet company backed by the Status team, is proud to announce the pre-sale launch of Shell, a revolutionary, fully open-source hardware wallet. Designed with modularity, transparency, and uncompromising security at its core, Shell enables users to seamlessly manage multiple wallets through interchangeable smart cards—called Keycards—for enhanced convenience and safety.
Early supporters can now pre-order Shell bundled with two Keycards at a discounted rate and gain access to exclusive pre-launch rewards ahead of its global release in October 2025.
Redefining the Hardware Wallet Architecture
Current hardware wallets often market themselves as transparent and open source, yet many lack true transparency in their designs—relying on closed-source components, exportable keys, or upgradeable secure elements that weaken user trust. Shell sets a new benchmark in wallet architecture.
“Hardware wallets need a complete rethink,” says Guy-Louis Grau, Project Lead at Keycard. “Users rarely realize that most hardware wallets allow private keys to be exported outside secure elements or rely on upgradable secure elements—both of which compromise the integrity and transparency of the device.”
Shell is powered by Keycard, an EAL6+ certified, open-source smart card that signs transactions and stores keys internally—ensuring they never leave secure hardware. Moreover, Keycard firmware is not upgradable by design, providing long-term assurance that the device behavior will never change post-manufacture.
Shell: Built for Transparency, Security, and Control
Shell is about more than security, it’s designed for those who demand verifiable control over their hardware and digital assets:
- 100% Open Source: Every layer—from chip software to hardware layout and 3D-printable casing—is verifiable and customizable, exceeding the transparency of leading competitors.
- Multiple Stealth Smart Cards: Users can store multiple seed phrases, or use backup cards safely—even if one card is lost, others remain secure.
- Air-Gapped Operation: Users can sign transactions safely using Shell’s integrated camera and QR-code interface—no USB, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi connection to devices required.
- Duress PIN Support: Defends against physical coercion with a second PIN.
- Cross-Wallet Compatibility: Works seamlessly with major EVM and Bitcoin wallets like MetaMask, Rabby, BackPack,imToken, UniSat, BlueWallet and more using QR-based signing.
- Future-Proof Design: Easily replaceable battery extends the device life, and upgradable Keycards mean Shell adapts as cryptographic standards evolve—unlike most competitors.
Pre-Sale now Live: Limited Perks for Early Adopters
Customers who join the pre-sale will receive:
- A discounted Shell bundle with two Keycards
- Status Network KARMA rewards for participating in the growing ecosystem
️To reserve a Shell wallet and secure pre-launch rewards, users can join the pre-launch at: https://keycard.tech/keycard-shell
About Keycard
Keycard is a proud subsidiary of Status, a pioneer in the crypto industry known for its trusted products like the Status mobile wallet. With a focus on security, privacy, and user empowerment, Keycard continues to build hardware solutions that meet the evolving needs of the global crypto community.

Paydify offers an easy plug-in payment layer that enables any business to accept crypto payments from any wallet or blockchain network — with instant stablecoin settlement and zero fees.
Paydify, a universal gateway for any crypto payments, has officially launched to enable businesses to accept crypto payments from any wallet or blockchain network. Built to simplify fragmented blockchain infrastructure, Paydify turns complex crypto payments into a smooth checkout experience — with real-time stablecoin settlement and zero transaction fees.
Paydify enables businesses to accept crypto payments without worrying about blockchain complexity, price volatility, or wallet compatibility. With just a few lines of code or a QR code, merchants integrated with Paydify can instantly start accepting crypto payments from leading wallets such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Bitget Wallet, and others. Customers can pay with stablecoins now, with support for all tokens coming soon — while merchants receive stablecoins instantly. Paydify is fully non-custodial, so businesses keep full control of their funds, eliminating chargeback risks common in traditional rails. With no need for wallet- or network-specific integrations, Paydify works seamlessly across e-commerce sites and physical stores, unlocking access to millions of crypto users worldwide.
Despite growing crypto ownership, the lack of interoperability between blockchain networks, wallets, and tokens continues to limit everyday adoption. Merchants face technical complexity, conversion risk, and settlement delays. According to the Onchain Report, 31% of global users hesitate about crypto payments due to limited merchant acceptance, while concerns over high fees, slow transactions, and a lack of trusted providers further hinder adoption. Paydify addresses this by serving as a neutral, universal acceptance layer—similar to how traditional networks unify fragmented financial systems. Its network-agnostic design allows businesses to support all users, no matter their wallet or token.
Paydify is already live in Southeast Asia, powering crypto payments at a few pilot restaurants through Bitget Wallet integration. While in its pilot phase, Paydify is built with global expansion in mind — designed to scale across regions and industries as a universal crypto payment solution. In the coming months, it will expand support for more wallets and blockchain networks, launch e-commerce plugins, and grow its merchant network through partners like Advanced Payment Solutions and Coinpal. Future expansion will focus on travel and hospitality, online businesses with global user bases, and Web3 projects — including DePIN and other crypto-native platforms — looking for a streamlined way to accept crypto payments. These efforts aim to make Paydify the global standard for crypto payments and acceptance — efficient, inclusive, and built for the real world.
“Crypto payments have always promised borderless commerce, but the user experience hasn’t caught up — until now,” said Pakning Luk, Director of Strategy at Paydify. “With Paydify, we’ve built a truly neutral, universal network that empowers businesses to accept crypto payments just as easily as they accept Visa or PayPal. Whether your customer is using a DeFi wallet or scanning a QR code at a café, we make the experience seamless, secure, and scalable.”
About Paydify
Paydify is a universal gateway enabling crypto payments across all wallets and blockchain networks. Built for both online and offline merchants, Paydify provides instant settlement and universal connectivity — making crypto payments practical for global commerce. Paydify operates with a mission to unify the fragmented blockchain ecosystem and make digital payments accessible to businesses everywhere.

MEXC Ventures, has announced a $30 million allocation to support Web3 talent and accelerate innovation across the decentralized ecosystem. The investment initiative foresees a 5-year span and is part of the broader Corporate Social Responsibility effort by MEXC Ventures, “IgniteX,” in line with its global strategy of fostering sustainable blockchains through support and empowerment of young talents.
The purpose of the initiative undertaken by MEXC Ventures is to create a launchpad program that will serve as a hotbed for talent nurturing and idea development. MEXC will work closely with the institute on blockchain development, academic exchanges, and talent cultivation. MEXC Ventures encourages submissions from early-stage Web3 startups, research initiatives, developer communities, and academic institutions working on decentralized infrastructure, AI-integrated blockchain solutions, stablecoins, and fintech tools. MEXC Ventures aims to include mentorship, educational efforts, and funding as part of the program to create a future-ready blockchain ecosystem, thus ensuring a smooth transition for the next generation of users into Web3 and preparing a willing, enthusiastic, and well-trained pool of leaders to develop it further.
The impact-driven campaign will entail a comprehensive and multi-pronged approach that includes several key elements. The foundation will be the $30 million pledge, which will serve to fund education, project support, and development initiatives. The second part of the campaign will focus on organizing hackathons and developer engagement programs in the form of global events to identify and support emerging talents.
Education will form a major part of the campaign, with university scholarships and blockchain courses offered through partnerships with academic institutions. This step is crucial to making blockchain technologies and the underlying coding and programming languages more accessible to a greater number of potential developers and IT students. Mentorship programs will be launched in tandem to make sure talents have access to adequate training, event participation, and the experience of current Web3 leaders.
Lastly, strategic sector support will be implemented to ensure that funding is provided to promising projects. Special focus will be placed on initiatives developing stablecoins, AI-based solutions, and blockchain infrastructure elements.
As a CSR initiative, “IgniteX” adheres to achieving strategic objectives, which are based on building a pipeline of high-potential Web3 startups with early MEXC involvement for future cultivation and capitalization. This will have a positive impact on brand recognition for MEXC and position it as a strategic and valuable contributor to the development of Web3 space. The campaign will also help foster cross-border collaboration among all participants of the blockchain sector and promote diversity and inclusion based on shared blockchain values.
Through “IgniteX”, MEXC Ventures aims to create an impact on the global Web3 ecosystem by empowering potential future leaders and developers through education and responsible mentorship.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 18th, 2025, Chainwire
In April 2025, at the Paris Blockchain Week(PBW), BYDFi, as one of the official sponsors, unveiled its new Web3 product—MoonX, highlighted during the event. MoonX is an on-chain smart trading tool designed specifically for MemeCoin investors, integrating features such as hot trend discovery, risk screening, smart money following, and trade optimization.
The launch of MoonX marks BYDFi’s official entry into the “Dual Engine Era” of both Centralized Exchange (CEX) and Decentralized Exchange (DEX) platforms. In a highly competitive global crypto exchange market, BYDFi is one of the first to complete this platform upgrade.
“Traditional exchanges are shifting from a competition based solely on trading speed and fees to a broader ecosystem competition,” said Michael, CEO of BYDFi, at the launch event. “The explosive growth of MemeCoins is driving a new wave of user growth. The future market leaders won’t just be those offering fast matching and low fees on CEXs, but platforms that can simultaneously link the on-chain ecosystem with user demand.”
As the on-chain investment entry point, MoonX complements the main BYDFi platform (CEX) with a hybrid structure:
- Centralized Matching System: Ensures liquidity and depth for transactions.
- On-Chain Discovery and Interaction Product: Tracks hot trends and seizes early opportunities.
This structural upgrade gives BYDFi a competitive advantage as CEX and DEXs increasingly merge in the future.
Currently, MoonX is deeply integrated with two major ecosystems: Solana and BNB Chain, covering leading liquidity pools like Pump.fun, Raydium, and PancakeSwap, while supporting real-time tracking of over 500,000 MemeCoin assets.
Key features of the product include:
- Fast Token Listing: API data exchange with platforms like Pump.fun to capture hot projects as liquidity pools are launched, exploiting trading time differences.
- Smart Risk Control: Multi-dimensional models evaluate token security (contract permissions, blacklists, token lock-up status, etc.), filtering out high-risk tokens.
- Smart Money Following: The system tracks millions of on-chain addresses, identifying whales and high-probability addresses, allowing users to copy trades with one click and easily share strategy profits.
- Trade Optimization: Built-in gas optimization algorithms and slippage control mechanisms ensure smooth transactions and cost control, even during peak times.
For a long time, “complex processes” and “asset security risks” have been major concerns preventing ordinary users from participating in on-chain investments. MoonX’s mission is to reinvent the on-chain trading experience, allowing more people to participate in Web3 investments as easily as using an app-based exchange. With just a BYDFi account, users can instantly connect to the blockchain and trade the next trending Meme project before it takes off.
About BYDFi
Founded in 2021 BYDFi was recognized by Forbes as one of the “Top 10 Global Crypto Exchanges” and has been certified by major data platforms such as CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. The platform currently serves users in over 190 countries and regions, earning the trust of more than 1,000,000 users worldwide.
