Education is one of the most important systems a country can modernize, and trusted credential verification is a key part of that.

Kenya's move to bring over 30 million academic credentials onchain with @avax demonstrates how blockchain can strengthen public infrastructure through secure, transparent, and efficient verification.

This is another step toward real-world blockchain adoption across Africa. 🇰🇪🔺

A wrap for Game Jam's Night of Code. Live support & immediate feedback from Team1 Africa. The highlight of the night was how quickly builders learned/adapted & leaned on each other's forte. Gamified solutions were executed for sure. The most lively cohort yet.

🔺 Team1 Kenya Mini Hack: Building Gamified Systems for Businesses on @avax Cohort 2 – Session 2

This week's session took builders deeper into the fundamentals behind Avalanche, covering the Primary Network, the roles of the X-Chain, P-Chain, and C-Chain, L1s, and the Avalanche CLI.

To wrap up, participants built and deployed a simple loyalty points smart contract, applying the concepts through hands-on development.

With each session, our builders are gaining the skills to create gamified applications and real-world business solutions on Avalanche.
