Sshhhhh... we are in class. 🤫📚
@Team1Africa_ x @Qadi_io is live in Nairobi and the homework is simple: plug Qadi's compliance-ready APIs into your product and deploy on @avax .
Midweek check in.
Coffee turns "not yet" into "ok, let's go".
Every cup starts with a farmer. And a payment.
This week we are in Rome, learning how Europe checks where its coffee comes from.
What is your midweek coffee order?
Day 1 at @africablockfest was a vibe ✨
Great meeting @MrNoahkipkemboi, a brilliant businessman, anchor and KTN News reporter.
Tomorrow, find us at the gaming lounge 🎮
Founders building startups with traction, developers looking for a pathway, students and curious minds: ask us ANYTHING about building on @avax, then challenge us to a game 👀
Spot a black ADOPTION tee? That's a @Team1Africa_ collaborator. We're friendly, we come with exclusive perks, and you won't want to miss out.
Come say hi. Let's connect and play 🔺
One Continent. Many Voices.
Today, Team1 Africa officially launches.
The work started years ago. Team1 communities across Africa have been running workshops, university programs, and builder meet-ups in their own cities. Our progress so far:
🔺 120+ events
🔺 3,500 + attendees
🔺 250+ developers activated
🔺 Across 10 countries
Africa is home to 1.5 billion people and the youngest population of any continent. Builders here solve problems they face every day, from sending money across borders to reaching customers that banks overlook.
The missing piece has been the connection. A developer in Kenya rarely knows the one in Ghana working on the same problem.
Team1 Africa links these communities into one network. Each country keeps its own culture, language, and way of doing things. We make sure they can find each other.
Across Africa, we will focus on:
🔺 Developer workshops and technical education
🔺 Hackathons and opportunities to build
🔺 Stablecoin adoption
🔺 University programs and student communities
🔺 Founder support and ecosystem connections
🔺 Community meetups and events
🔺 Creator and community initiatives
🔺 Cross-border collaboration
🔺 Pathways into the global Avalanche ecosystem
We want more African developers shipping products, more founders building companies, and more homegrown ideas reaching users far beyond the city where they started.
Welcome to Team1 Africa. Come build with us.
That's a wrap on Pitch Perfect, the @AvaxAfrica Mini Hack finale.
20+ teams built overnight.
7 walked away with bounties.
4 named the most promising in the room.
We are so proud of every builder who showed up and shipped.
Congratulations to all of you. See you at the next one.
@okxafrica@OKXSouthAsia My favourite OKX feature is OKX Web3 Wallet because one wallet, endless chains, endless possibilities.
@GlorieKendy come tell us yours.
