Africa Blockchain Festival 2026

The 2026 edition of the Africa Blockchain Festival is co-hosted with the World Token Summit and focuses on the theme "Capital, Code and Continuity." The event aims to establish a permanent digital infrastructure for Africa by gathering thousands of delegates, including policymakers, investors, and entrepreneurs. It highlights Kenya's growing status as a technology hub, frequently referred to as the "Silicon Savannah," and follows the success of the inaugural festival previously held in Rwanda.

The three-day program features keynote presentations, policy discussions, and startup showcases. Specific sessions address the practical application of stablecoins, decentralized finance, and the integration of blockchain with existing mobile payment systems like M-Pesa. Participants can also engage in technical workshops and executive networking to explore cybersecurity and tokenization.

By facilitating dialogue between global tech leaders and local innovators, the festival seeks to solve uniquely African challenges while developing scalable digital solutions. Minisend serves as the official payment partner, demonstrating how blockchain-powered financial infrastructure can connect African consumers to the global economy.
