Sankore 2.0 (S2) is an Africa-focused community integrating the NEAR blockchain to projects and solutions conceived and built by local developers in Kenya. The organisation, which is named after Africa's oldest educational institution, helps developers to make use of NEAR and adopt Web3 technologies.Africa is an innovative frontier for Web3 products, as well as many other 4th Industrial Revolution technologies. While some in the crypto space have realised the massive potential Africa holds as both a user and developer base for Web3 solutions, the continent as a whole remains mostly unserved by crypto technologies. Sankore 2.0 has three initial activities to rectify this situation: 1. Producing Web3 content in Africa that covers use cases, regulation & policy, and opportunities & potential2. Making policy suggestions to policymakers that advance the needs of everyday people and businesses while coordinating with academics and community leaders3. Collaborating with local developers and crypto hubs to incentivise students and professionals to build solutions that utilise NEAR.
