In our most recent Catalyst Africa Townhall, we explored the growing innovation across the continent under the theme:
“Tech Hubs in Africa Building on Cardano.”
This exciting session featured two visionary tech hubs:
Accra Resource Centre introduced their upcoming project, RydeChain — a ride-hailing app built on the Cardano blockchain. The app aims to make transportation seamless across Africa, with payments made directly in $ADA. A powerful step toward real-world utility and adoption of crypto in everyday services.
Ekival, our second guest, showcased their DeFi infrastructure built on Cardano to enable real-time crypto transactions across Africa. Their goal: empower users to send and receive value instantly, reliably, and securely across borders.
These projects reflect a new wave of African-led innovation and Cardano’s growing role in shaping Web3 solutions for real-world problems.
