On Oct 28, 2016, Zcash was born. 🎂 10 years of turning world-class cryptography into money you can actually use because privacy isn't about hiding. It's safety, freedom and dignity. For me, this is more than a birthday. It's a reminder of why we build, why we keep learning, and why privacy deserves a place in our digital future. Happy 10th birthday, @Zcash! The journey continues. Keep building. Stay shielded. #ZcashBirthday #ZcashEastAfrica @ZcashFoundation @ZecHub @ZcashEastAfrica

Dear Zcash… You turned 10 on October 28. I've known you for less than two months. Before September, you were a ticker to me. Then I travelled from Togo to Nigeria for the Zcash Privacy Developers Residency (@zoerdhub x @ZcashGH), then to Accra for Privacy Meets Payments & Builders Hub. I learned. I built. I broke things. I built again. Somewhere along the way, you stopped being something I study and became something I build with. Respect where it's due: ten years of shipping while nobody was clapping. Sprout in 2016. Sapling in 2018, which made shielded payments practical on phones. Orchard and Halo 2 in 2022, which removed the trusted setup. You didn't wait for the narrative. Now the part a friend says out loud. You hid the money so well… you hid the builders too. If Africa is your blind spot, French-speaking Africa is the blind spot inside the blind spot. I'm building Private Bill: ZEC to local money (CFA, Naira, Cedi) without losing privacy on the way. Because today, the moment ZEC has to become CFA, Naira or Cedi, privacy too often stops at the door. Private money I can't spend is still just a beautiful idea. A few weeks ago I posted my shielded address and asked for support. Nobody on Earth can see what it received. Except me. So here's my viewing key: 0 ZEC. Not a complaint. A data point. The likes came. The reposts came. The backing didn't. I kept building anyway. But at 10, you're old enough to notice who is building on zero. My birthday wishes for you: → Shield the money. Never the builders. → Make private money spendable money. → Don't just repost. Back them. → And speak our languages. That's why this letter is in English, French and Eʋegbe. Happy 10th, Zcash. I've been in your story for less than two months. I plan to be here for the next ten. Privacy is normal. 🛡️ from Lomé, Togo 🇹🇬 @Zec_Forge @Zcash @ZcashFoundation @ZecHub

From a small grassroots initiative in Togo to one of Africa’s fastest-growing blockchain communities, Africa Blockchain Community has spent the last two years proving that education, collaboration, and consistency can build an ecosystem capable of transforming lives across the continent. When people talk about Africa’s blockchain revolution, they often focus on rising adoption numbers and big projects. But behind every strong ecosystem lies something more important: communities that educate, connect, and empower people long before the headlines. That’s exactly what we set out to build. In July 2024, I launched Africa Blockchain Community with one clear mission: Learn. Educate. Build. Not just to talk about blockchain, but to create real builders especially across Francophone Africa. Two years later, the mission has grown far beyond what I imagined. We’ve organized over 50 educational programs and events, trained hundreds of developers through three bootcamp cohorts, and built more than 20 strategic partnerships with ecosystems like Ethereum, Avalanche, Stellar, Trust Wallet, Web3Bridge, and ICP. We hosted the first Stellar meetup in Francophone Africa, the first ICP meetup in Togo with over 200 people, the first Trezor Academy in Togo, and launched @EthAfrique including its tour in Lomé and Calavi. We became official community partners of Web3 Lagos Conference (2024 & 2025), Web3 Global Conference, ETHSafari, and ETHEnugu. We also supported more than 10 Togolese builders to attend ETHAccra and helped organize student hackathons across multiple countries. But the real impact isn’t in the numbers. It’s in the students who attended their first meetup and later became developers. It’s in the builders who deployed their first smart contract. It’s in the young people who realized they could build world-class projects from Africa. This community was never about hype. It was about creating real opportunities one webinar, one meetup, one bootcamp, and one partnership at a time. As we enter our third year, the vision remains the same: continue building the next generation of African Web3 talent. If you’re a student, developer, founder, or ecosystem that wants to be part of this movement, I invite you to join us. Follow the community: @Afroblockchain_ Website: africablockchaincommunity.or… Two years ago, we started with a simple mission. Today, we’re helping shape the future of Web3 in Africa one builder at a time. The journey is just beginning.

You don’t really own crypto until you control the keys. Most people think they own their Bitcoin or USDT… until they try to withdraw. This chapter explains why self-custody matters and how Tangem makes it simple. @Tangem @tangem_africa @aigarxyz
