Upon reflection, I must say, well thought out events are key to networking in web3. In Africa, we need to be more open and willing to help others in the space more.
You never know who the next billion dollar project will come from. It maybe someone you have helped along the way.
We need to harness bright minds and push think tanks forward.
Cultivating the land for harvest is key while in the bear. Being more open to these ideas and pushing for more inclusivity will make this continent thrive.

Most people use crypto without knowing what they’re actually using.
That’s where confusion starts.
Layer 1 vs Layer 2 sounds technical.
But it’s simple when you break it down.
Layer 1 (L1) is the main blockchain.
The foundation.
Examples: Bitcoin, Ethereum
What it does:
Processes transactions
Secures the network
Stores all data
The problem:
It can get slow
Fees go high when demand increases
That’s where Layer 2 (L2) comes in.
Layer 2 is built on top of Layer 1.
Its job is to make things faster and cheaper.
What it does:
Handles transactions off the main chain
Bundles them together
Sends them back to Layer 1 for final confirmation
Simple way to see it:
Layer 1 = main highway
Layer 2 = express lanes that reduce traffic
Why it matters to you:
Lower gas fees
Faster transactions
Better user experience
But here’s the part most people ignore:
Not all Layer 2 solutions are the same
Some are more secure than others
You still rely on Layer 1 for final settlement
If you understand this,
you stop overpaying on fees
and start using crypto the smart way.
