Alright, let's jump into our February newsletter! Last month was a rollercoaster of excitement with loads of events and exciting partnerships brewing behind the scenes. Are you ready to uncover what went down? Let's dive right into it
Past Events
📍 Hack4FUTO
One of our main goals is to nurture the upcoming generation of builders in Africa. That's why we're going all out to back communities of builders.
Last year, we sponsored Hack4Futo, and this year, we stepped up as the lead sponsor. The hackathon took place on the AyaLabs platform. We're fully dedicated to supporting communities of builders.

📍 Aya Web3 Workshop In Collaboration With Hack4FUTO
We recently held a 2-day workshop in collaboration with Hack4Futo, diving deep into Web3 technology. The workshop focused on hands-on learning, allowing participants to apply theoretical knowledge practically. Through interactive coding sessions, attendees explored blockchain development using tools like Remix IDE, OpenZeppelin, Thirdweb, Hardhat, Gitcoin passport, and Layer 2 technologies like Base and Optimism. This immersive experience not only enhanced technical skills but also fostered a culture of innovation and experimentation. Participants left with new knowledge, stronger connections, and a commitment to contributing to the decentralized future.
