Celo Dapps over Apps is a community that aims to onboard and educate traditional developers, tech enthusiasts and creative builders about web3 and the potentials of building with Celo’s blockchain infrastructure.
We are solving the problem of lack of visibility. 9 of 10 developers in Africa are unaware of Celo’s developer’s friendly infrastructure and toolkits.
Our Mission: Bridging the gap between traditional developers, tech enthusiasts, creative builders and Celo’s blockchain technology.
We will kickstart this program by:
-
Establishing sub-communities in various institutions and regions in Nigeria and across Africa so as to expand our reach and onboard developers & creative builders in grass roots.
-
Workshop & training on the usage and implementation of Celo’s established solutions, developers toolkits, its mobile first wallet and decentralized apps.
