Borderless Africa

A movement towards a Borderless Africa. By builders, with Web3.

[Miss Purple 💜 | 📍 muShanghai @misspurple]

In my VERY humble opinion, @yosephayele, @cryptowanderer, @iamsonge and @s3unha have & are building something exquisite with @borderlessaf and @lavavc_

Got a couple reports I’m writing, ton of gems in there, tap in! 🙂‍↕️
In the meantime, here’s the magma summit summary 💜

[nyarbungu @DiahChrissy]

Demo days are so nerve-wracking. Demoed onchainos with teamlead @CyndieKamau and @HazardKrypto pick a guess what onchainos does

Magma Summit was a vibe 💫 I didn't want to end! So grateful to have been in such a carefully thought out and intimate space.

Filled with super intelligent, beautiful souls showing up for their higher selves and their communities.

Huge thanks to @iamsonge, @yosephayele, and Sheila Mugadi. Your best one yet!

This week has been all about reflection and regrounding ✨
From Magma Summit SheFi Summit to @ETHAccra → the energy has been unmatched.
So much worth, so much connection, so much to learn:
•Powerful conversations that spark new ideas 💡
•Meeting builders & dreamers shaping the future
•Lessons that remind me why we do this 🌱
•Opportunities that stretch beyond borders 🌍
•Community that feels like family
Grateful. Grounded. Growing.

Yesterday ended the Magma builders summit by @borderlessaf.

Took a pic with @yosephayele, @thinkDecade and some Professors from a University in Busan South Korea.

Had a great time, learnt so much.

[Borderless Africa @borderlessaf]

Day 2/3 of the magma summit had crowd favourite sessions on the mechanics of money, ZK as research & a practical concept, and a little vibe coding to get the vibes right✨

Builders are so beautifully versatile.
It has been humbling being within this spirit of collective growth.

[Ebunayo.eth 🇳🇬 @Ebunayo08]

I had a great time yesterday @borderlessaf builder summit. Thanks to @yosephayele for curating such an amazing experience and it was beautiful to see everyone again!

Let’s keep growing the ecosystem!

[Eddie Kago ⚡ @BasedKago]

Great shoutouts from @jessepollak to top payment products built on Base in Africa at the Magma Builder Summit by @borderlessaf.

It was great to hear Jesse shoutout as key products making payments seamless in Kenya, and Nigeria:
- Azza: @useazza
- Minisend: @_Minisend
- cNGN: @cngn_co

The winning fintechs of the future will definitely be SocialFi, and likely built on @base.

[Machuche.eth @machuche1]

Super based yesterday at the @borderlessaf Magma summit, was truly incredible! From local stablecoins to breakout rooms around freedom and identity re-ownership, @jessepollak fireside chat, it was nothing short of what’s expected. Also finally got to meet the @cngn_co team IRL!

[KarlaGod.savvy || BizFi @_karlagod]

Day 1 of the Magma Builder Summit by @borderlessaf

Met @only1franchesatt at @Starknet, Lena at @Celo and a lot other amazing people from @useazza, @minipay and other amazing projects.

Suggested these topics for discussions/sense making.

One on #SaveFi, another on #PublicGoods

[LearnWay | Learn, Engage & Earn @LearnwayApp]

3 days. Endless insights shared with real impact to be soon felt in our communities 💥

LearnWay joined Africa’s boldest builders to dream about and discuss the future of education & stablecoins at Magma Builders Summit by @borderlessaf

From collabs to code, we saw how blockchain can empower youth, fuel financial literacy & reshape economies.

We’re glad not to be on sidelines watching change but actively building it. 🌍

Thanks to @base @ENS_DAO @minipay @MESTAfrica @lavavc_ @yosephayele

[Kofi @0xKofi]

| @Uyoyo_O talk on @cngn_co at @borderlessaf totally sold me on African currency stablecoins.

I genuinely believe that interbank settlement, derivatives and cross border payments will drive billions of dollars of African currency stablecoin transfer + trade volume

[Kevin | Ezemmuo Blockchain @kevin_chibuoyim]

Day 2 at the @borderlessaf Magma builder summit in 🇬🇭.

Great and deep conversations from stable coins, to ZK and more…def worthwhile.

Particularly liked the ZK panel by @yezhang1998, cofounder of @Scroll_ZKP with @only1franchesco & @iammadab. Bullish on @sublinearlabs!!

Meeting friends like @Uyoyo_O @s3unha @misspurple @yosephayele @_karlagod @cryptowanderer @iamsonge @GigaHierz @Sir_Damilare @afrishan @mclint_ @machuche1 @0xgodspower @BasedKago @africanbuilder_ @CodeMensah @ImmanuelNFT and many more persons!

Learning about the beauty of math and the stupidity of traditional blockchain design (not my words) today at the @borderlessaf magma builder summit 🫡

Most fun and impactful zk session I attended. Ever.

[Machuche.eth @machuche1]

Starting to really fall in love and get fascinated by ZK. Real world businesses and governments already using it? You love to see it.

[gigahierz.celo.eth @GigaHierz]

Vibe Coding at magma summit today. Spoiler alert we talked about stablecoins in Tanzania and did not end up finishing our project.
