ANNOUNCING Zero To Shipped (ZTS)!
An experimental X-space series where @devVGBG and @toby_solutions will be hosting student builders with an attempt to highlight how and what they have been building on @solana!
This marks the beginning of the journey to our Builder program where students that qualify will go from their MVP to onboarding real users and then solidifying their Forward Deployed Engineering skills.
This is a very huge and exciting opportunity for student builders in Africa at large!
We are proud of how far we have come, the lives we have impacted and the future we are still building for Africa’s Web3 ecosystem.
From hackathons to IRL meetups, community events, collaborations and countless opportunities created, the journey of Web3 Afrika over the past 4 years has been nothing short of inspiring.
This video captures the vision, the growth and the impact.
Cheers to more innovation, more community and more impact. 🎉

Introducing Solana Developer Platform
Designed for enterprise, launch financial products on @Solana in weeks instead of months.
Create stablecoins, RWAs, or orchestrate payments with AI-ready APIs that bundle 20+ infra providers.
@Mastercard, @WesternUnion, and @Worldpay are already building with SDP.
Dear anon, you no longer need 10 different API services from 50 different providers just to build a decent app in crypto and still have to pay multiple 500-600$ subscription plans for each.
Building doesn’t have to be difficult.
@SolanaStudentAf you can just do things now!
Happy International Women’s Day 🩷
To every woman building, coding, learning and leading in Web3 across Africa, today is for you.
The blockchain space is being shaped by bold voices and many of those voices are African women. From developers to community builders to founders, you are not just participating in this ecosystem, you are defining it.
At SSA, we celebrate the women in our community who show up every day, ask the hard questions, write the code and hold the vision for what Web3 in Africa can become.
You belong here. You have always belonged here.
Happy International Women’s Day from Solana Students Africa 🎀
Happy New Month 💃
March is here and so are we.
As students building on Solana across Africa, a new month means a new chance to learn deeper, ship faster and show up stronger for our communities.
This is not just another month. It is 31 days to grow your skills, expand your network and prove that the next wave of Web3 builders is rising from Africa.
Stay locked in. Stay consistent. The work we put in today is the ecosystem we inherit tomorrow.
Welcome to March, SSA fam, let’s make it count 🚀
A little late, but never less meaningful ❤️
Happy Birthday to Opeyemi @devVGBG , Co-Founder of Solana Students Africa.
Building something from the ground up takes courage, doing it with purpose, consistency and a genuine love for your community?
That’s rare. And that’s you.
You didn’t just help build an organization, you helped build a movement. Your vision for Solana in Africa, your drive and your belief in the next generation of African builders is what keeps SSA going.
Thank you for your sacrifices, your leadership and your unwavering commitment to empowering African students through Web3.
Wishing you joy, health and every win you deserve this new year.
Here’s to you, Ope! 🥂
