  • Session 2: Deep Dive into Cardano Governance & Practical Delegation
    Led by Jeremiah Baani, this comprehensive session covered Cardano’s governance, including the roles of Stake Pool Operators (SPOs) and the importance of delegating ADA. A live, practical demonstration guided participants through:

These interactive and practical sessions gave participants deep, actionable insights into Cardano’s vast impact and how they can actively participate in its ecosystem.

3. Impact and Measurable Outcomes

The two meetups have generated significant and measurable impact, fulfilling their core objectives.

  • We were thrilled to enlighten our participants on the critical importance of Cardano staking and delegation. A particularly fulfilling moment came when one attendee from the first event, who had over 10,000 ADA sitting on a centralized exchange, declared his intention to transfer it back to his native wallet and delegate it following the guidance received.
  • Furthermore, the direct effect on governance participation has been remarkable. Prior to these meetups, our DRep (Cardano Africa DRep) had approximately 18,000 ADA delegated. As of today, we can proudly boast an increment in delegation to over 50,000 ADA.

4. Conclusion and Gratitude

On behalf of the entire Cardano Africa Academy initiative in Ghana, we extend our deepest gratitude to the Cardano Foundation and our dedicated Cardano Ambassadors. Their invaluable support and shared commitment to education and voting for our project under the impact pot initiative were the bedrock of this success. The Foundation’s backing and the Ambassadors’ expertise were directly responsible for empowering our community and driving tangible growth in network participation.

The events were a resounding success, successfully demystifying Cardano governance and empowering attendees to become active stakeholders. This marks a significant step forward in our ongoing educational initiatives, and we look forward to continuing this impactful work together to expand blockchain awareness and adoption in Ghana.
