Dala always delivers, raw talent with global reach. Big shout-out to @Zone01Kisumu for nurturing this amazing talent 😊
Kisumu developers are a different breed. They’re some of the most committed and eager to learn developers we’ve met. Punctual, consistent, curious, and so dedicated that many spent the entire night at @LakeHub working on their hackathon projects. The future is bright. πŸš€

We've asked @megasley and @BrindonMwiine why they are in Kisumu. It's because we've convened the biggest bitcoin Lightning Developer Bootcamp in Africa! 🀯🀯 @FreeRoutingAf @GorillaSats @AfroBitcoinOrg #kisumuLNBootcamp #bitcoin #Kisumu 1/2
βœ… Day 3 of our Lightning Developer Bootcamp in Kisumu, Kenya. Today was all about the Lightning Network. We explored how Lightning works under the hood, covering payment channels, liquidity, routing, invoices, HTLCs, and the role Lightning plays in enabling instant, low cost Bitcoin payments at scale. Participants gained a deeper understanding of how Lightning extends Bitcoin and unlocks entirely new possibilities for payments and financial innovation. Of course, the learning didn't stop at theory. We got hands on, giving participants the opportunity to interact with Lightning tools and apply the concepts they had learned. We were also joined by some incredible guests. A special thank you to @BrindonMwiine for stopping by and inspiring the developers with his insights, experience, and encouragement. Shoutout to @colmwanga for showcasing what's possible when building on Lightning through real world products like Minmo, BitSacco, and Fedi. Demonstrations like these help bridge the gap between learning the technology and seeing its impact in the real world. Finally, none of this would be possible without the support of our sponsors. Thank you to @btrustteam, @HRF, @Tether_Africa, @Zone01Kisumu, @LakeHub @afribitcoiners, and @planb_network for investing in the next generation of Bitcoin and Lightning developers across Africa. πŸš€

Being part of the AI conversation is the first step into adopting it, kudos @_HerDAO & @hero_ntwk for thinking making sure women are also part of the revolution.

Rust School is coming to @SwarmVillage Most AI agents fail in production - not because the model is wrong, but because the system around it is fragile. πŸ¦€ RustSchool Γ— 🐝 SwarmVillage is fixing that - all powered by @hero_ntwk Swarm Village residents will learn to build production-grade AI systems in Rust. A thread 🧡

πŸ•πŸ”₯ Global Pizza Party hit different in Kisumu this year. Founders, developers, policymakers, legal minds, and ecosystem builders all showed up in one room β€” proof that the Web3 conversation is reaching every corner of Africa. The venue packed out. People rotated in turns just to get a seat. The energy never dropped for a second. And somehow the most competitive moment of the whole event? Signing the pizza box πŸ˜‚πŸ• This is what grassroots Web3 adoption actually looks like not conference halls and keynotes, but real people, real communities, real belief in what this technology can do. Thank you @Pizza_DAO @WrldPizzaChamps @brave @ensdomains for making it happen. #BitcoinPizzaDay #Web3WayAfrica #KisumuBuilds #PizzaDAO #BlockchainForGood

Imagine a world where you can spend BTC to buy groceries, pay for gas, pay an Uber, or treat someone to a fancy tea party. No banks, no borders, just freedom. That is the power of blockchain technology, and that is exactly why I joined this movement. A huge thank you to Laszlo Hanyecz the legend who dared to make the first move back in 2010, spending 10,000 BTC on two pizzas and changing history forever. We stand on the shoulders of that courage every time we celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day. 🫑 And a special thank you to @Pizza_DAO & partners @brave, @ensdomains, @WrldPizzaChamps for honouring this iconic moment and bringing the global crypto community together through the universal language of pizza. What a way to keep the legend alive! πŸ•πŸ”₯ This box is a reminder that Kisumu was part of the history. pov:would probably make it a mintable NFT on @RarePizzas

Global Pizza Party is happening THIS WEEK and I’ll be hosting it for the second year in a row πŸ™Œ This isn’t just about pizza. It’s about the evolution of money. We are creating a relaxed but meaningful room where conversations around digital finance, stablecoins, payments, and the future of money can happen organically over pizza, drinks, and community. The event is FREE and open to everyone but you MUST RSVP to attend. RSVP here πŸ•πŸ‘‡ rsv.pizza/kisumu
