Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson To Tour Africa, Here’s Why

Cardano has focused its attention on projects which are building on the blockchain. This is because after the launch of smart contracts capability on the network, the next phase was getting developers to deploy their applications on the ecosystem. Cardano, through EMURGO, has invested in a number of startup projects to boost the adoption of the blockchain. The project has set its sights on Africa for a while, a budding hub for cryptocurrency innovation. It plans to give the projects the needed boost to bring their projects to the ecosystem.

EMURGO Invests In African Startups

One of the biggest announcements from the Cardano Summit concluded in September was the $100 million investment in Cardano-focused projects by EMURGO. The commercial arm of the Cardano Foundation had made significant investments into a number of startups that were domiciled in Africa. These startups would receive support in varying degrees, from financial to educational as the need arose.

Seed investment rounds of companies Milkomeda, ADAVERSE, and Adanian all saw participation from the Cardano network through EMURGO. Some of these projects were incubators for other Cardano-focused projects. While Milkomeda is a dcSpark sidechain that provided a bridge between the Cardano blockchain and other layer blockchain protocols.

Cardano Africa Tour With Hoskinson

Africa has proven itself to be a breeding ground for innovative crypto technology and founder Charles Hoskinson wants to tap into this climate. Putting an end to the two-week social media break which he had announced after the end of the Cardano Summit, Hoskison tweeted his plans for the future.

Hoskinson who had been in Wyoming tweeted that he had returned from the state. His future plans included a tour of Africa, which would begin in South Africa and hit various countries in the continent.

Still Suffering On The Charts

Cardano’s native token ADA has not seen much in the way of positive movement despite news coming out from the project. Momentum remains down for the digital asset, not following the general upward trend of the market.

With bitcoin rallying this week, altcoins have moved in tandem with the leading cryptocurrency. Speculations were that the revived momentum in the broader crypto market would provide the push needed to get ADA back to its previous highs. But so far, the asset has not made any significant recoveries. Instead, it continues to struggle to hold above $2, currently trading at a low $2.144 at the time of writing.
