The representation of African projects in global Web3 events is still disproportionately low compared to other regions like North America, Europe, and parts of Asia.

Here’s a breakdown of the current landscape:

Current Representation of African Web3 Projects

1.) Presence at Major Conferences

Underrepresented: At major Web3 events like ETHGlobal, DevCon, Consensus, Token2049, and NFT.NYC, African projects are often under-represented both in speaker lineups and project showcases.

Improving visibility: Some events, such as ETHSafari (Kenya) and Africa Blockchain Week, are emerging with strong regional focus and are beginning to gain recognition in global circles.

Panels vs. Projects: African participants are more frequently featured in diversity or inclusion panels than as leaders of high-profile projects or startups.

2.) Funding and Startups

Africa receives less than 2% of global Web3 venture funding, although countries like Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Ghana are hotspots.

Projects like Celo (active in mobile finance) and Kotani Pay have gained some international traction.

3.) Developer Representation

According to Electric Capital’s Developer Report (2023), Africa accounts for only a small percentage of global open-source Web3 developers.

However, developer communities like Web3Bridge (Nigeria) and Blockchain Developers DAO are growing quickly.
