Why are you participating for Based Africa?

The best people to solve Africa problem are the local people. Base is empowering builders to solve problems in our local communities. We have identify for this aim to be active, builders need platform to collaborate, share ideas, learn from each other experiences and also need visibility for the project they are building. We believe the future is on chain, that hat is why we are massively onboarding people onchain

What challenges are you focusing on?

1. Lack of blockchain educational and awareness in Africa
2. Africa builders lack visibility for their projects
3. Africa builders lack platform were they can connect with fellow builder and also get support for their project
4. Africa woman are suffering

How does your submission address this challenge?

The Base Builders and Enthusiasts Hangout is a virtual meetup on X (formerly Twitter) where builders and enthusiasts gather to share ideas, insights, and experiences. The x-space promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing within the Base ecosystem, empowering women onchain, and also serving as a platform for individuals to connect, learn, and contribute to onchain economy. Additionally, it offers opportunities to onboard new people onchain, the space also provides visibility for project building on Base.

Challenges we ran into

Internet service as been major issue; some times our space rug because of poor Internet in Africa, we use multiple internet provider to solve this issue, we also made provision for two of our team member to start the x-space from different location. However it's in our plan to upgrade to starlink network. We made this issue know to our audience to bear with us for the main time.
Power supply was a big challenge but we over come this with solar energy
Lack of fund to execute social project for local women. Currently we fund this project from what we earn from base build
