Our History
The DeFi Africa was established in 2019 as a telegram community based group to support and grow the Decentralized Finance and blockchain community in Africa.
In order to better achieve its objectives, the team decided in 2020 to become a “for-impact organization” that will engage in several other initiatives other than community.
The new vision, mission, brand and website was launched in February 2020. Some activities were also added to our previous community building activity.
Our mission and Vision
It’s time for transformation in Africa’s digital technology industry – and DeFi Africa believes that DeFi has a strong role to play in overcoming the financial and digital disparities playing a major role in holding Africa back from the world’s financial technology innovation.
