Nuon at ChainDustry West-African Blockchain Week 2025

From May 5 to May 10, Nuon Finance joined ChainDustry Blockchain Week 2025 in Uyo, Nigeria, taking part in one of the biggest, most vibrant, and forward-looking Web3 gatherings in West Africa.

The event brought together users, builders, and educators at a time when many other African nations affected by high inflation and unstable currencies are emerging as global leaders in blockchain adoption, led by Nigeria, ranked 2nd in the world by Chainalysis' 2024 Global Crypto Adoption Index.

Nuon had the honor of joining as one of the sponsors of the ChainDustry's Blockchain Week 2025. ChainDustry Academy educators and active community activists played a key role in helping attendees understand Nuon through various educational sessions, including walkthroughs on how to swap USDC to Nuon and start earning yield. These hands-on demos helped cut through the noise and made decentralized yield strategies more tangible for everyday users. Nuon also had a booth during the main event day.

The atmosphere throughout the week was festive and high-energy, with many fantastic community initiatives, interactive games, and sports adding to the experience. People didn’t just hear about Nuon — they used it, had fun with it, and left with a tangible tool they can immediately use to earn safe yields.

To keep the momentum going, the ChainDustry team activated a live campaign on ChainDustry’s DoToEarn platform for Nuon's emerging African community. Users were able to earn Nuon and ChainDustry rewards by engaging directly with Nuon’s ecosystem and social media and learn through active participation and activism. This helped bring new users into the fold while reinforcing Nuon's vision of safe, on-chain income.

Next Steps: ChainDustry Partnership

We're excited to be joining the ChainDustry ecosystem as a long-term partner. Nuon workshops will be formally integrated into the ChainDustry Academy curriculum, an educational program that reaches thousands of students each year through hybrid learning focused on Web3, digital finance, and future-proof skills.

ChainDustry students will be introduced to the Nuon protocol, shown how to swap Base USDC to Nuon, and guided on how to stake for yield, gaining real-world experience with decentralized finance tools.

We are also making strides building relationships with top Nigerian fintechs to explore collaborative opportunities with B2B and B2C platforms in Africa while spreading the word about Nuon to end users. This is part of a broader strategy to drive Nuon adoption in Nigeria and across Africa, aided by ChainDustry. Together, we’re laying the foundation for a new financial standard and yield infrastructure that is safe, insured, and built for communities underserved by traditional systems.

This is only the beginning. Africa is not just participating in Web3 — it is leading. And Nuon is here to make sure the next chapter of financial infrastructure is open, safe, and built for the people who need it most.
