“Every chance I get , whether hosting, teaching, or leading discussions , I make sure to share the good news of #XRPL and blockchain. And it’s always a great time whenever NERO takes the stage.
The future is decentralized, the future is XRPL . 🌐”
XRPL Africa and @unibencrypto paid a strategic visit to the Acting Director of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence Development at the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria, Dr. Olaye, and also the head of department computer engineering Dr. Isi Edeoghon , to discuss opportunities for collaboration focused on empowering the next generation of African developers.
Our conversation centered around creating more opportunities for students and developers through blockchain education(XRPL), AI innovation, developer training, research collaboration, technical communities, and hands-on exposure to the endless possibilities within the XRPL ecosystem.
We also shared the vision behind XRPL Africa, building a thriving African blockchain community where young people are not just users of technology, but creators, builders, innovators, and global contributors. From campus tours to developer bootcamps, educational programs, and ecosystem support, we remain committed to driving adoption and technical growth across Africa.
We are excited about the possibilities this collaboration will unlock for developers, innovators, and the broader tech ecosystem within and beyond the university community. The future is collaborative, and this is only the beginning.🚀

1 bug. 10 years ago. 3.6 million ETH stolen.
That was The DAO hack. June 2016.
And the bug had already been identified before the attack happened.
I am 24% done with the @CyfrinUpdraft Smart contract Security course and @ethereum history is unraveling.
From campus to campus, city to city, we’ve been spreading XRPL education, onboarding users and developers, building communities, and connecting with students across Nigeria.🇳🇬💙
This is only the beginning and we’re not done yet.👀
A new destination is on the horizon and trust us, you’ll want to be part of what’s next.🚀
If you’re in ANY of these countries and you want us to bring XRPL Africa to your campus, drop your country in the comments.🌍👇
Let’s see where we’re going next.
Avoir de l'argent.
Quand on n'en a pas, on fait tout pour en avoir.
Et quand ça finit par arriver, deux choses se passent :
soit on en veut toujours plus.
Soit on se rend compte qu'il y a bien plus important dans la vie.
C'est l'un des paradoxes les plus silencieux de la réussite.
L'argent qu'on poursuit pendant des années ne répond presque jamais à la question qu'on se posait au départ. Parce que la vraie question n'était pas « comment gagner plus ». C'était « de quoi ai-je besoin pour me sentir libre, utile, en paix ? »
L'argent peut acheter du confort, du temps, des options. Il n'achète pas le sens.
Et c'est souvent en l'obtenant qu'on le comprend.
Le vrai luxe, ce n’est pas d’en avoir beaucoup. C’est de savoir pourquoi on en veut.
Every developer should have the XRP Ledger on their radar.👀⚡
This developer-focused series breaks down what XRPL is, how it works, and why developers are choosing to build on it.
If you’ve been curious about building on XRPL, this guide is the perfect place to start.

We’re excited to partner with @myridima 🤝
What started as a conversation around XRP utility turned into something bigger, $XRP is now supported on Ridima’s platform for users in Nigeria and Ghana.
Users can now off-ramp $XRP seamlessly into local currency.
This is what real adoption looks like.
More access, more utility, and more ways for Africans to use $XRP in everyday transactions.
I'm building Quirklr, a platform redefining how people study together online.
And I know better than to build it alone.
I'm looking for:
→ Developers (Frontend / Backend / Fullstack)
→ UI/UX Designer
→ Graphics Designer
→ Project Manager
→ Social Media Manager
This is a ground-floor opportunity, equity, real portfolio work, and your name on something that matters.
Have a skill I didn't list? DM me anyway.

Hong Kong didn't sleep. Neither did I.
Days blurred into each other. The kind of tired where you forget what meal you're on. But we shipped, we defended, and we walked out with first place on the PayFi track.
Worth every hour.
Hong Kong Web3 week had a different energy this year. The city felt like it was leaning back in. Institutions moving, liquidity moving, conversations that actually had teeth. Less noise, more intent.
I came to build. I leave with a W and a clearer sense of where payments infrastructure is actually headed.
Thanks to the @HSKChain team for building the Horizon Hackathon and creating the space for builders.
