Developers in Africa now have the opportunity to be seen globally with their work; that is why applications are open for Polygon Bootcamp Africa, launched in partnership with Xend Finance! The eight-week intensive educational course and hackathon combo will put developers in Africa on the Web3 map.
This is Polygon’s biggest step yet in supporting African builders, developers, and creators, and it comes at a crucial moment. Across the continent, a blockchain and internet revolution is in progress.
Since 2000, there has been a 50-fold rise in internet usage in Africa, and by 2030, 75% of the population is expected to be online. Already, 1.7 million jobs and $144 billion in economic value have been generated throughout the continent thanks to mobile technology.
Polygons’ partnership with the Nigerian startup Xend Finance, leading a Web3 revolution, made this a possibility by making DeFi more accessible to everyone, showing the growing awareness of blockchain as a solution for real-world problems.
They’ve sponsored ETH Safari and the upcoming Crypto Fest, and supported communities in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and other African countries, because of the fact that developers across the continent are eager to take the future into their hands.
The time is now to make sure that the upcoming generation of African developers receives a top-notch education. Best-in-class technology from Polygon will aid in the adoption of Ethereum and blockchain across a continent with numerous unique innovation hotspots where cross-border and decentralized coordination is highly valued.
This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss out on as a developer in Africa. Keep reading to learn more and also find other related grant opportunities like this.
