Beyond the Buzz: Building Real Stuff with Web3

Blockchain and Web3 - these two are infrastructures for building the foundational layers of tomorrow’s decentralised internet. Not just buzzwords! 🥴

This session seeks to break down Web3 beyond the hype and speculations. Whether you’re new to smart contracts or curious about decentralized identities and APIs, come and let’s get hands and practical.

We will explore:

• The building blocks: blockchain, tokens, wallets, and smart contracts
• Web3 tools for devs (like Ethers.js, Solidity, Moralis, Thirdweb, Lens, etc.)
• Real use cases in Africa (savings, voting, education, remittance)
