Crypto trading platform, LBank and Kenyan-based AI entrepreneurial incubator, Adanian Labs have partnered to increase the flow of information and learning surrounding blockchain and cryptocurrencies in Africa with a Crypto Accelerator Program.
Adanian Labs is an AI-powered, Blockchain driven incubator that nurtures the next generation of socially impactful startups into successful and scalable data-driven commercial businesses.
Based out of Hong Kong, LBank is a cryptocurrency exchange that is focused on creating partnerships with cryptocurrency developers and teams across the continent to build an Africa-wide ecosystem. The exchange is owned and operated by a Chinese company known as Superchains Network Technology Co. Ltd.
As part of the Crypto Accelerator Program, the partnership will have the two companies involved in monthly interactive sessions designated as ‘LBank and Adanian Crypto Days’ across Africa.
According to Allen Wei, the CEO of LBank, the partnership will allow both LBank and Adanian Labs to engage in community building, education, and resource sharing in order to meet the growing demand for blockchain and cryptocurrency across Africa.
“The new partnership will accelerate Africa’s digital revolution by increasing blockchain developers who will drive the ecosystem. With this partnership, crypto and blockchain technology can play an increasingly significant role in helping African nations leapfrog in development,” he added.
LBank COO, Shantnoo Saxsena believes that the continent is finally under the spotlight for all the right reasons as more investors begin to pay attention to Africa’s untapped potential thanks to blockchain and cryptocurrency developments.
John Kamara, the CEO, and Co-Founder calls for the submission of applications for the Crypto Accelerator Program where successful applicants will be aligned with a technical team within the company to build and work together on whatever solution they have brought forward. The application portal is expected to open following the launch of the accelerator later on Friday 6th May 2022.
Kamara points out that the partnership will offer the vehicle for higher learning, community building, and resource sharing to help Africa fully realize the role it will play in the 4th Industrial revolution.
“We’ve put together a team to help establish and support the startups including project management and support focused solely on ensuring startups achieve their tasks and goals,” Kamara added.
In the past weeks, Adanian Labs has been holding interactive forums called “Camel Sessions” around the topic ‘Making a difference in a digital era’ and the accelerator is the latest piece added to the puzzle on how to bring together different groups in the ecosystem to share knowledge, opinions and perspectives within the crypto community.
