SDG Leaders Award Profile: Peace Through Trade Blockchain (PTT)

At the 2025 SDG Leaders Luncheon at United Nations Headquarters, the SDG Leader Award for the Private Sector was presented to Peace Through Trade Blockchain (PTT), a trailblazing platform reshaping how blockchain can serve society, commerce, and sustainable development.

Redefining Blockchain for People and Planet

While blockchain has often been viewed through the lens of speculation, PTT has spent the past 4.5 years reimagining its potential as a force for good. Developed in close collaboration with leading academic institutions and designed under Singapore’s gold-standard regulatory framework, PTT stands apart as one of the world’s most sustainable and regulation-first Layer-1 Proof-of-Work blockchains.

PTT’s architecture integrates advanced AI systems with a sustainable Proof-of-Work design to deliver compliance, scalability, and transparency at a level unmatched by legacy chains. The vision is ambitious yet clear: to unlock borderless e-commerce, financial freedom, and digital economies that empower governments, businesses, and communities alike.

A Breakthrough for Governments

Governments in particular face a pressing need for digital solutions that are both secure and sustainable. PTT meets that need with its compliance-by-design approach, ensuring alignment with regulatory frameworks from the start. This foundation of trust positions Peace Through Trade Blockchain to catch the wave of first-adopting governments that recognize the transformative potential of Layer-1 blockchains to modernize governance, enhance transparency, and unlock new financial systems. By embedding compliance and sustainability into the core of its design, PTT provides governments with a credible and future-proof platform for digital transformation.
