Africa’s Web3 ecosystem is entering a new phase of growth, driven by platforms that are reshaping how digital assets are used in everyday transactions. In line with this momentum, Monica Technologies has been confirmed as the headline sponsor for the Africa Blockchain, DeFi and Web3 Summit 2026, a move that underscores the event’s rising influence within the continent’s digital economy.
The summit, scheduled for April 29, 2026, at the Lagos Oriental Hotel, will convene founders, developers, investors, regulators, and policymakers driving innovation in blockchain and decentralized finance. Hosted in Lagos, the gathering is expected to focus on practical implementation and scalable solutions, reflecting the city’s growing reputation as a hub for technology and financial innovation in Africa.
Monica Technologies operates its flagship platform, Monica, which enables users to convert cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, USDT, and Ethereum into naira through direct bank transfers. Beyond simple conversions, the platform integrates everyday financial services including airtime purchases, data subscriptions, bill payments, and digital gift cards, signalling a broader shift toward positioning digital assets as functional tools for daily use rather than purely speculative instruments.
By aligning with the summit as headline sponsor, Monica Technologies is reinforcing its commitment to bridging the gap between digital assets and local economies, while contributing to conversations shaping the future of Web3 adoption in Africa. Organisers say the partnership will enhance the overall summit experience, with participants expected to benefit from high impact keynote sessions, deeper industry discussions, and expanded networking opportunities aimed at fostering collaboration and driving tangible outcomes across the ecosystem.
