Big move for digital, Sharia-compliant microfinance in Afghanistan. HesabPay has partnered with Mutahid Microfinance Institution, with facilitation from UNCDF, to digitize the full microfinance lifecycle — from loan application and approval to disbursement and repayment. This collaboration enables borrowers to: * Apply for Sharia-compliant financing digitally * Receive funds seamlessly * Manage repayments through the HesabPay app, branches, or nationwide agent network This is not just a partnership — it’s infrastructure for inclusion. By removing friction and increasing transparency, we are setting a new standard for how microfinance operates in a digital economy. The future of microfinance in Afghanistan is accessible, efficient, and fully digital — and this is just the beginning. #HesabPay #Mutahid #MFI #loanrequest #repay #IslamicFinance #Murabaha #FinancialSupport #SmartFinancing #BusinessGrowth #AgricultureSupport #EasyPayments #Afghanistan #DigitalFinance

🚨PLEBIS IS NOW LIVE FOR EVERYONE 🚨 🔗 Blockchain Governance is broken🔗 Not because the mechanisms don't work. Because there's simply too much noise. Too much confusion. Proposals scatter across chains. Voting records vanish into block explorers. Communities make decisions worth millions with little to know context or understanding. We built Plebis to fix that. 🚪Today we're opening the doors. MVP beta is live. 🚪 Plebis is a governance intelligence platform. One place to track, analyze, and understand on-chain governance. Our MVP ecosystems include @cosmos Hub, @osmosis , @injective , @axelar , @agoric , @Stargaze. What's inside: 🔥 Circus Maximus: compare governance activity across every chain, side by side 🔥 The Library: 2,400 proposals, fully searchable, with complete voting histories 🔥 The Oracle: an AI assistant that summarizes proposals, answers questions, and surfaces what matters 🔥Proprietary indices tracking ecosystem sentiment, staking activity, turnout, and governance health 🔥Validator intelligence with our own grading system 🔥 Leaderboards ranking the most active governance participants 🔥Vox Populi: community sentiment, aggregated and analyzed This isn't a voting tool. This is the data layer governance has been missing. Our position on AI is simple: it should inform your decisions, never make them for you. The Oracle clarifies. You decide. Link in bio. Come see what governance looks like when you can actually see it. #blockchain #governance

Aid in fragile settings is often costly and slow. In Syria, we piloted stablecoin payouts with @mercycorps, @HesabPay_ and Pioneers Innovation to deliver stablecoins to farmers — focused on speed, security, and transparency. ▶️ Read the endline report: mercycorpsventures.com/blog/…

Restoring trust in aid through blockchain and The Aid Trust Portal. Aid is too important for too many to let it go. If we don’t change the narrative, those who have the least will suffer most. We have the tech to flip the script.@AlgoFoundation @Refugees @StateDept @elonmusk
Algorand Foundation Impact Lead @mattkeller1 just penned his latest article for @Forbes. He explored how blockchain technology can enhance trust and transparency in humanitarian aid. Read the full piece below 👇

Time for a @HesabPay_ update: Last update was 46 days ago. Circulating market cap increased from $37,000,000 to $48,000,000 for an average addition of $239,000 daily. This is $90,000 more daily than last period. In the last thirty days, there was $62,900,000 transferred on chain. This is $12,000,000 more than the last time we looked. I don't see Syria yet anywhere, but there is no slow down in Afghanistan.

Algorand just hit the huge milestone of 3 billion transactions. The first billion took 1,297 days. The second billion took 529 days. The third billion took 336 days. Algorand is speeding up, not slowing down. All with 0 downtime.

Delivering cash in rural Afghanistan is tough — but digital tools offer new hope. We’re piloting digital currency payments with @HesabPay & CDDO to reach 100 households via blockchain & local connectivity hubs. A new model for last-mile aid.📲🇦🇫 ▶️medium.com/mercy-corps-socia…

Wow. Well well said.
On the Inequality of Compassion - Statement of our Chairman Michael Schumann after his return from Antalya Diplomacy Forum: ”Let it be said at the outset - every loss of human life that occurs under the shadow of war, whether amid the thunder of artillery or the quieter horror of so-called “precision strikes“, is an event of relentless tragedy, a rupture in the fabric of humanity that no rhetorical balm can mend. The grief of the bereaved, like the guilt borne by those who, whether by command or complicit silence, have helped bring it about, runs so deep that it weighs heavily on the souls of all involved - often across generations. And yet, how strangely varied are the responses these tragedies evoke in our collective consciousness! When rockets fall on Sumy, when children perish and families are obliterated, a chorus of outrage rises swiftly across the capitals of Europe - amplified by headlines, commentary, and statesmanlike pronouncements. But when similar horrors occur in Gaza - with a regularity that numbs the conscience and perpetrated by leaders of nations we call friends or partners - those same voices fall silent, or at best, retreat into the hushed murmur of diplomatic platitudes, as though the unspeakable might be rendered tolerable through polite evasion. I have just returned from a conference in Türkiye, attended by numerous representatives of Arab nations - cultivated, clear-eyed individuals whose questions were born not of resentment, but of a sincere longing for moral coherence. They asked, not without bitterness, yet with just cause: Where is Europe’s outrage in the face of the suffering in their part of the world? What reveals itself here - and it is a phenomenon of deeply troubling significance - is a distortion of perception, both in the media and society at large: a quiet, creeping hierarchy of human suffering, which leads us to distinguish between victims of the first and those of the second order. This, I fear, will not go without consequence. For once justice is made relative, it tends to recede - and the accusation against us, who have relativized it, will one day return with doubled force, like all that has been suppressed, and come and haunt us at a high cost.“ #ADF2025 #MEET4DIPLOMACY #Humanity #Justice #Suffering #Europe #Russia #Ukraine #Israel #Gaza

Reading this interesting article by @SarahDadouch in the @FT today, Syria has such an opportunity to technologically leapfrog to a ubiquitous direct digital payments system. A KYC'd version (esp with blockchain traceability) would give Western donors much needed comfort. If Afghanistan can do it with @HesabPay_ Syria certainly can, but the opportunity window is now. Bonus: blockchain-based stablecoin payments don't carry pictures of deposed murderous dictators. Syria flies in fresh banknotes from Russia as cash crunch hits economy - on.ft.com/40VsG1L via @FT

That’s 200,000 electricity bills worth over $4.5m paid on @HesabPay last month. Digital payments in Afghanistan starting to build some momentum…
