NGOs and UN agencies scale aid payments on Stellar as UNDP locks in program through 2027
- —UNDP locked in Stellar-based payments as a standing tool through end-2027
- —UNHCR has disbursed $4.6 million over Stellar since December 2022, mostly in Ukraine
- —Aleppo pilot cut aid distribution costs from about 10% to 2%
- —Stellar network fees run about 1 cent per 10,000 transactions, with payouts in USDC
Why it matters: The case shows real-world blockchain use in humanitarian payouts, though Stellar still handles under 1% of UN aid flows.
