I recently had the privilege of spending a week with founders from Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia, and South Africa at the /magma residency outside of Nairobi, organized by @yoseph. Here are a few reflections and eye-opening moments that make me super excited about the prospects for onchain apps in Africa.

Another striking observation was that crypto in Africa is not a counterculture or ideological movement. Instead, it serves as the only alternative for accessing stable savings and payment options.

Interestingly, most people in Kenya don't acquire crypto from exchanges. Instead, they rely on networks of trusted agents, exchanging mobile money or airtime for USDT. Binance P2P facilitated $26B in tx in 2023, leading to a recent crackdown in Nigeria. New startups like Onboard by @yele.eth are working to bridge this gap.
