Explore ProgrammeEducating Africa's Digital Future
Bchain Africa educates, trains and empowers Africans in blockchain, AI and Web3 technology. Home of the Onchain Festival — Africa's largest blockchain gathering.
Bchain Africa is a pioneering platform committed to harnessing talent and promoting the adoption of blockchain and AI technology across the continent. We started with a simple idea: that when Africans understand how these technologies work, they can build solutions the world needs.
From Lagos to Nairobi, from Accra to Kigali, we have been training entrepreneurs, developers, students and community leaders since 2022. Our programmes are built for the real Africa — practical, accessible and rooted in the communities we serve.
We simplify Web3 for the 99%, not the 1%.
Every decision we make starts with our people.
Open about who we are, who funds us, and what we do.
Building for Africa, by Africans, with the world.
From training programmes to flagship events, everything we build is designed to move the needle on digital inclusion across the continent.

The 2025 edition filled The Dome in Lekki and brought together founders, investors, creators, policymakers and community leaders for one electric day of conversation, collaboration and celebration.
Now we are building something bigger.

The Onchain Festival brought together a quality of conversation I have not seen at any other African tech event. The energy was incredible and the connections made that day are still paying off months later.
Bchain Academy gave me more practical knowledge in six weeks than I had gained from two years of trying to self-teach. The community is the best part. You never feel like you are learning alone.
What Femi and the Bchain Africa team have built is rare — a genuine community-first approach to Web3 education. The festival was proof that Africa has found its own voice in this space.
