这项黑客马拉松覆盖了非洲的大型地区，在20多个非洲城市举行了现场活动，包括拉各斯，开罗，内罗毕，金沙萨，开普敦，卡萨布兰卡和突尼斯。

The Hashgraph Association and the Exponential Science Foundation have launched the Hedera Africa Hackathon 2025, a global event designed to accelerate Web3 and artificial intelligence adoption across the African continent.

Hashgraph协会和指数科学基金会已启动了Hedera Africa Hackathon 2025，这是一项全球活动，旨在加速Web3和整个非洲大陆的人工智能采用。

With a prize pool of $1 million, the hackathon will run from Aug. 1 to Sept. 30 and aims to attract over 10,000 participants across 15 African countries, according to a news release shared with Cointelegraph.

根据Cointelegraph的新闻稿，黑客马拉松的奖金为100万美元，将于8月1日至9月30日举行，目的是吸引15个非洲国家 /地区的10,000多名参与者。

Organized by two nonprofit organizations — the Switzerland-based Hashgraph Association and the tech research-focused Exponential Science Foundation — the event is open to developers, students and entrepreneurs worldwide.

该活动由两个非营利组织（总部位于瑞士的哈希图协会和以技术研究为重点的指数科学基金会）组织，该活动向全球开发人员，学生和企业家开放。

“We aim to use technologies that converge Web3 with AI to create transparent cognitive solutions that optimize processes and facilitate decision-making and automate the execution,” said Kamal Youssefi, the president of the board of directors at the Hashgraph Association.

Hashgraph协会董事会主席Kamal Youssefi说：“我们的目标是使用将Web3与AI收敛的技术来创建透明的认知解决方案，以优化流程并促进决策并自动执行执行。”

All solutions will be built on the Hedera network across four tracks: onchain finance and real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation; ESG sustainability and traceability; self-sovereign identity (SSI) and AI; and gaming, metaverse and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

所有解决方案都将在Hedera网络上跨四个曲目建立：OnChain Finance和Real World Asset（RWA）Tokenisation； ESG的可持续性和可追溯性；自我主张身份（SSI）和AI；以及游戏，元和无牙的代币（NFTS）。

Up to 15 outstanding teams will receive prizes based on innovation, impact and alignment with the hackathon’s goals.

最多15支杰出的团队将根据创新，影响和与黑客马拉松的目标保持一致。

This Hackathon covers large areas in Africa, with onsite events in over 20 African cities including Lagos, Cairo, Nairobi, Kinshasa, Cape Town, Casablanca and Tunis.

这项黑客马拉松覆盖了非洲的大型地区，在20多个非洲城市举行了现场活动，包括拉各斯，开罗，内罗毕，金沙萨，开普敦，卡萨布兰卡和突尼斯。

Interest in Africa’s Web3 potential is growing, with more than 50 partners and 100 universities and tech hubs having already joined the Hedera Africa Hackathon.

对非洲Web3潜力的兴趣正在增长，有50多个合作伙伴，100个大学和技术枢纽已经加入了Hedera Africa Hackathon。

Africa’s Web3 talents are poised for global impact

非洲的Web3才能已准备好应对全球影响

Due to high inflation, a weak banking system and widespread corruption, many people in Africa lack access to reliable financial services. This creates opportunities for Web3 projects like Jambo and Yellow Card to offer alternatives for saving and earning.

由于通货膨胀率高，银行体系和广泛的腐败，非洲许多人无法获得可靠的金融服务。这为Jambo和黄牌等Web3项目创造了机会，以提供节省和赚钱的替代方案。

Kamal highlighted Africa’s strength in its “young population with ambitious tech talents.” He cited Hedera’s partnership with Orange, a telecommunications operator, to launch digital empowerment programs across 16 African countries — initiatives that “include training, certification and the establishment of incubation and accelerator centers.”

卡马尔（Kamal）强调了非洲在其“具有雄心勃勃的技术人才的年轻人口”中的实力。他引用了Hedera与电信运营商Orange的合作伙伴关系，以在16个非洲国家启动数字授权计划，这些计划“包括培训，认证和建立孵化和加速中心”。

“Africa brings a unique advantage to Web3, a demographic edge and a proven capacity for digital adoption,” said Paolo Tasca, executive chairman of the Exponential Science Foundation. Yet, he noted that "barriers remain, particularly in foundational infrastructure and education.”

指数科学基金会执行董事长Paolo Tasca说：“非洲为Web3带来了独特的优势。”然而，他指出：“障碍仍然存在，尤其是在基础基础设施和教育中。”

Governments are also ramping up talent development. Nigeria, for example, recently launched an annual initiative to train 1,000 citizens in artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies.

政府还在加大人才的发展。例如，尼日利亚最近发起了一项年度倡议，以培训1,000名人工智能和区块链技术公民。
