Blockchain communities from Africa and Asia will unite in 2020 

Blockchain technology

The adoption of blockchain technology in pretty much all aspects of our lives seems to be growing each year. Thus, the newly-announced partnership between Quras, a smart contract platform enabling anonymous, private-protected transactions, and a non-profit association Blockchain Nigeria User Group (BNUG) promised users from Africa and Asia new prospects in 2020.

According to the company’s spokespeople, “the new partnership will enable Quras to expand its community and developer base beyond Asia and to the continent of Africa ahead of its mainnet launch in early April.”

Blockchain Nigeria User Group (BNUG) currently has its headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria. It is a non-profit organization that tries to improve blockchain education, development and adoption in Nigeria, as well as a whole Africa. It is also a member of the Organization of Blockchain Technology Users.

With the contribution of BNUG, participants will be able to learn how to build smart contracts, as the company’s knowledge of blockchain application development and multi-platform exposures has been proving to be effective and up-to-date for a while now.

BNUG’s leader, Chimezie Chuta, is convinced that this partnership is an absolute win-win:
“The partnership will provide Quras with massive brand exposure in Africa. Secondly, our local developers will be exposed to the Quras privacy-focused blockchain platform and they will be able to learn how to build solutions on the platform.”

At the same time, Quras is trying to expand its influence over the Nigerian market, which, presumably, will offer an access to a much broader perspective market of sub-Saharan Africa.

Quras CEO, Shigeki Kakutani, commented:
“Currently, there are more than 500 blockchain engineers in BNUG and we envision the association to reach their target of 1,000 engineers. A strong and growing developer community is very important for Quars as these engineers will lead the future development of applications on our platform.”
