AB DAO and AB Charity Foundation Launch Tech-Driven Philanthropy Forum

AB DAO and the AB Charity Foundation have joined forces to build a trustworthy infrastructure and promote global philanthropic transformation. The partnership was officially launched with the inaugural “Tech-Driven Philanthropy Closed-Door Forum” held in Dublin on May 12, 2025. The event was chaired by Mr. Bertie Ahern, Chairman of the AB Charity Foundation and former Prime Minister of Ireland, who emphasized the importance of building trustworthy systems for public good in the digital age.

The forum brought together distinguished guests, including of Nigeria and former Chairperson of the African Union, and Mr. Malcolm Byrne, Member of the Irish Parliament and Chairman of the Committee on Artificial Intelligence. Participants explored how emerging technologies like blockchain and AI can empower global well-being and enhance transparency in philanthropy.

Mr. Anthony Tsang, representing the AB public blockchain, presented the latest technological breakthroughs, including the high-performance mainnet, the AB Connect cross-chain protocol, and the Universal Transfer Protocol, which enables gas-free transactions. His presentation outlined AB DAO’s long-term vision to build a globally compliant infrastructure for philanthropy powered by decentralized technology.

Key proposals from the forum will be consolidated by the AB Charity Foundation and submitted to the United Nations and global partner networks. This initiative aims to drive “technology for good” in real-world initiatives, leveraging blockchain and artificial intelligence to build a transparent and traceable philanthropic infrastructure.
