Get ready for an electrifying fusion of innovation at #NBW 3.0!
Join Nigeria's premier tech extravaganza, uniting blockchain, crypto, AI pioneers, investors.
Nigeria Blockchain Week 2025 was an absolute game-changer and a true milestone in bridging policy, innovation, and grassroots momentum!
Under the powerful theme "Building Nigeria's Onchain Future", we turned vision into action: co-creating regulation, fostering infrastructure, discussing the National Implementation Framework, and accelerating Africa's digital economy. For the first time, government bodies stepped up as true partners. Massive gratitude to our co-hosts and regulatory champions at @NITDANigeria, @ONotapng74882, and @NCAIRNigeria for proving that Web3 and public institutions in Nigeria can build together seamlessly.
From high-impact policy forums in Abuja (hosted at NITDA's eGovernment Training Centre) to the electric Pitch & Summit Day and beachside finale in Lagos, the week delivered unmatched insights on stablecoins, AI x Blockchain convergence, interoperability, DePIN, RWAs, and more.
Visionary speakers dropped gems that will shape the ecosystem for years, while hands-on workshops, developer sessions, and community vibes fueled real builder energy. Many thanks to @KashifuInuwa (DG NITDA), Dr. Obiageli Amadiobi (DG NOTAP), @ChimezieChuta, @SenatorIhenyen, @judeozinegbe, @iwuno_obinna, @eWealthatlantic, @obi_emetarom, @Em_Etok, @Vickish11, @defimessiah1, and many other panelists who graced the stage to share immense value.
Shoutout to our incredible sponsors and partners @TrustWallet, @AssetChainComm, @cngn_co, @thezone, @SuperteamNG, @EthereumNigeria, @EthereumLagos, @SiBANnigeria, @UbuntuTribe, @SURDATICS, @upskillafrica, @FilecoinAfrica, @HERDAONigeria, @_bchainafrica, @Block24Seven, and many more for powering this movement and investing in Nigeria's on-chain rise. Nigeria isn't just participating in the global blockchain revolution; we're leading it, authoring the rules, and building the infrastructure that powers tomorrow's economy. The future is proudly onchain—and it's Nigerian.
Huge thanks to our convener @Divine_Vessel for upholding the vision and bringing together these giants in the room. Let's do more in 2026!

Nigeria has some of the most brilliant minds on the continent but mention blockchain and half the room checks out.
Not because they're not smart but because all they've heard is pump and dump.
That's the gap Lagos Blockchain Week (#LBW2026) exists to fix.
Tomorrow at 8pm WAT, we'll be answering one question: "Why does Lagos need a blockchain week?"

Seun Lanlege (@seunlanlege), co-founder @hyperbridge, speaking at @NGBlockchain_Wk, highlights how stablecoins are changing the way we handle remittances and global trade.
“Sending money through traditional systems can cost 5–15% and take days or even weeks. With stablecoins, you get instant settlement, lower costs, and direct access to global finance, no need for a foreign bank account, just a wallet.
It’s not just about saving money, it’s about saving time and unlocking opportunities.”
Watch the full video below.
🇳🇬BREAKING:
Nigeria ranks #1 globally in stablecoin adoption!
According to BVNK’s 2026 Stablecoin Utility Report:
• 59% of crypto-active Nigerians own $USDT
• 48% own $USDC Far ahead of other nations.
Why it matters:
Stablecoins (cryptocurrencies pegged 1:1 to the USD and powered by blockchain) give Nigerians dollar-like stability amid naira volatility, slash remittance fees, enable instant cross-border payments, and drive financial inclusion for SMEs, payroll & trade.
This isn’t hype
It’s real utility solving everyday problems traditional finance can’t.
At Nigeria Blockchain Week, we’re educating the next generation of builders, developers & policymakers so Nigeria stays ahead in the on-chain economy.
Adopt wisely. Build boldly.

NBW 2025 Was Legendary!
We turned vision into reality under Building Nigeria’s Onchain Future
Historic policy sessions in Abuja with @NITDANigeria , @ONotapng74882 & @NCAIRNigeria , plus Pitch Day + beach finale in Lagos.
Something historic is happening in Abia.
A state positioning itself as a serious blockchain and innovation hub. Years from now, people will talk about when this shift began.
You want to be someone who was there when it did.
In 2017, discussing “Blockchain & Crypto Law” in Nigeria felt like speaking a foreign language in a room full of skeptics ...
This is one of the reasons I am honored to have been invited by the International Centre for Emerging Technologies (@ICETNIGERIA) Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State (FUT Minna), to deliver a guest lecture for their Masters in Fintech & Financial Blockchain (MFB 724). My session is titled:
“The Evolution of Blockchain Policy and Crypto Regulations in Nigeria: Lessons for Innovators, Regulators, and Policymakers.”
