The Blockchain Africa Conference 2021 is once again here with us and, as usual, it has an exciting list of interesting speakers and brands gracing the event.
This year, the theme, ‘From hype to Mainstream’ seems quite relevant considering the massive 2021 bull run and the continued growth of the DeFi and the NFT space.
