DeFi For Africa: Crypto Use Cases Enabled By Kotani Pay

November 24, 2022

We were excited to have the CEO and Co-Founder of Kotani pay Felix Macharia on this episode of NEWFORUM. Kotani Pay is a Blockchain on-ramp/off-ramp service that offers African SMS phone users access to Blockchain Financial Services.
‍

Felix has worked in various roles in the African Blockchain space since 2016, including as a researcher for the institute of Blockchain Studies, Co-Trustee of the African Digital Asset Framework (ADAF), and Co-Founder of proof of stake node validator EOS Nairobi.
‍

"We would like to see Blockchain and web3 move from theory to actual practice inclusion for Africa; many people talk about financial inclusion for Africa, for their bank, but what are the use cases?"- Felix
‍

Felix shared the origin story of Kotani pay and the challenges faced when accessing Blockchains in Africa both from a user interface/device perspective and a payments perspective? (USSE) and Kotani's approach to bridging the gap and more!

"We would like to see more Africans benefit from web3 and the Metaverse, whether it's DeFi or NFT marketplaces; we have artists in Africa, and we want to see them connected and benefiting from these Global Trends, and that is our desire."
