We want to ensure that more and more people have access to the right information about the workings of the ecosystem because of the profound opportunity it (blockchain) brings to the entire continent,\u201d Mr Babalola said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that their classes will focus on teaching new skills such as crypto trading and careers in blockchain development in response to the Covid-19 impact that sparked serious unemployment and a stay home situation.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mr Babalola, the teachings revolve on building DeFi &amp; NFT covering savings, Lending and Borrowing, Swaps, Royalties and Renting, Elections, Identity Management, Land Ownership, NFTs marketplaces. The community engaged in weekly workshops, as the hackathon progressed.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Noah Baalessanvu, the Chairman, Blockchain Association of Uganda and head, CryptoSavannah (Technology) revealed that the education was introduced after realising the information gap for crypto currency knowledge between the private sector and the government.<\/p>\n<p>On the private side, he noted that they stopped talking about blockchain and started building solutions in government and the private sector through talking about the future of block-chain and its potential.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlockchain is going to become the center stage of systems and dependence of centralized systems is going to be put under pressure because centralized systems come with centralized trust which is breaking down,\u201d he said, adding that \u2018\u2018the explosion of crypto currencies is an indicator of that frustration.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He further explained that crypto currencies are soon going to become mainstream and stop being headline news and hence traditional finance will imitate crypto.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere in Africa we have less to lose by embracing new technologies since our legacy systems are still not as distributed. We now have that ability to leapfrog and this technology gives us the tools that allow us to embrace the new future of finance,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p><b>[email protected]<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
