Dar Blockchain and NEAR Protocol Join Forces to Fuel African Web3 Ecosystem

Dar Blockchain, a Web 3.0 hub supporting decentralized solutions in MENA, has teamed up with NEAR blockchain protocol to empower the African Web3 scene. Their initial focus is expanding the developer base in North Africa by creating Arabic and French educational materials, onboarding developers, and hosting interactive sessions. This collaboration aims to build a comprehensive educational resource, equipping developers with the knowledge and skills necessary to actively contribute to the NEAR ecosystem.

Dar Blockchain and NEAR Protocol Forge Partnership to Empower African Web3 Ecosystem

Dar Blockchain, a pioneering Web 3.0 hub that has been a driving force behind the development of decentralized solutions and Web 3.0 initiatives across the Middle East and Africa (MENA) region since its inception in 2018, has now joined forces with the NEAR blockchain protocol to unleash the full potential of the African Web3 scene.

With a specific focus on nurturing the developer base within the North African region, Dar Blockchain's initial endeavors will revolve around creating a comprehensive suite of educational resources, including technical videos in Arabic and French. These resources are meticulously designed to equip developers with the knowledge and tools they need to become active participants in the NEAR ecosystem and contribute to its exponential growth.

Dar Blockchain's overarching objective is to develop a robust educational ecosystem that will:

• Provide aspiring developers with a deep-dive understanding of NEAR Protocol's core principles and advanced capabilities
• Inspire active engagement within the NEAR ecosystem by highlighting practical development opportunities

The first phase of activities will encompass the production of educational materials and interactive initiatives, such as:

• In-depth developer video tutorials
• Engaging Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions conducted in Arabic and French
• Targeted social media campaigns
• Dedicated developer onboarding programs

Commenting on the initial set of activities, Dar Blockchain emphasized:

"Our onboarding strategy is a carefully crafted blend of educational content and interactive engagement, culminating in a collaborative hackathon that will serve as a platform to reinforce acquired skills and foster a spirit of community collaboration. We will also launch peer-pairing sessions, where aspiring developers can connect with experienced mentors to solidify their learning through collaborative projects."

In 2023, Dar Blockchain and The Hashgraph Association forged a strategic partnership to spearhead the advancement of blockchain technology in Tunisia and the broader MENA Web3 ecosystem. This partnership's initial activities culminated in the inaugural Africa Hedera hackathon in Tunisia, where 70 participants from 20 teams across nine African countries showcased their innovative projects. Three winning projects emerged from this event, focusing on DeFi, DAOs, and the Metaverse/NFT space.

Dar Blockchain's partnership with NEAR Protocol is a testament to the organization's unwavering commitment to empowering the African Web3 ecosystem. By providing developers with the necessary knowledge, skills, and support, Dar Blockchain is laying the foundation for a thriving Web3 landscape in Africa. This partnership is poised to drive innovation, foster collaboration, and unlock the immense potential of blockchain technology on the African continent.
