The Current Web3 Landscape in Africa
According to the findings presented in the 2023 Chainalysis Report, it has been revealed that several African nations are emerging as key players in the global crypto landscape. This trend is particularly noteworthy considering Africa boasts the world’s youngest internet-savvy population. Driven by this tech-savvy demographic, innovative builders across the continent are harnessing the power of blockchain technology to devise solutions that address local problems and extend their impact globally.
Onboarding the next one billion people into Web3 comes with its challenges and these innovative local builders encounter several roadblocks including limited access to funding sources, technical resources, and high-level localized data & insights. The innovative builders in Africa are actively seeking solutions to facilitate a smoother onboarding process into the web3 space.
Supporting the ecosystem
Unlocking the potential of the African crypto landscape requires a collaborative effort to empower the next generation of builders. By addressing funding constraints, providing technical support, and enhancing access to localized data and insights, the global community can contribute to fostering a thriving Web3 ecosystem in Africa.
The Core African Innovation Fund adopts a long-term, user-friendly, and sustainable approach. The fund will support local projects that place a strong emphasis on delivering tangible value to the local community through:
- Grants
- Technical resources
- Builder Programs
- Partnerships with accelerators and institutions
- Connections to VCs, and
- Potential investment.
This initiative goes beyond funding, it also involves aligning key builders with established blockchain entities including VCs to empower the next generation of decentralized applications and protocols. With strategic partnerships, the fund aims to create a more decentralized and interconnected future for the African blockchain ecosystem.
This approach ensures the promotion of long-term success, playing a pivotal role in driving innovation and growth within the African Web3 landscape.
