Three years ago, Solana had little to no presence in Africa’s largest crypto economy 🌍 Today, dozens of global ecosystem teams have expanded into Nigeria with our support, hundreds of leading regional products have integrated Solana with our help, and thousands of Nigerians have earned, built products, landed jobs, won hackathons, raised early-stage capital, and found their place in the global Solana ecosystem through this community 💪🏿 And it still feels like we’re just getting started 🥳 Happy 3rd anniversary to everyone building with us 🫡
