Wada Affiliated proposals
Nation Building Dapps
What core Nation Building Dapp solutions can be provided for widespread users acquired in the developing world?
WadaDex: a fiat and mobile money accessible platform that simplifies crypto market participation and facilitates capital access for projects Read more
This proposal is about education; education in a much broader sense than we sometimes talk about at Wada. We will incorporate blockchain components such as d****igital token, micro-payments and decenralized identity solution (DID) into the platform, meaning the technology behind the scenes will be on Cardano and also in the prize money, which will be distributed in stable coins or Ada (based on our market research). However one of our great priorities at Wada is preserving indigenous culture, and through this proposal our educational focus is also going to center around African heritage (specific to Cameroon as applicable).

In Cameroon just like in most countries of the Central and West Africa regions, rare tree species are cut down and exported on a daily basis by several multinationals companies with no real and effective solution to replace them. This same behavior can be observed within local farming communities that either use the wood from the trees for their furniture or sell it without worrying about replanting the forest. Most farmers tend to focus on short term fruit producing trees and cash crops that will provide them some profit within a reasonable amount of time. Read more
Our proposed solution removes the confusion about the origin of Congolese minerals and elsewhere sold on the international market and it is a solution that values the first operator following the production chain from mining to sale.Blockchain lends itself well to this solution as it allow small-scale artisanal miners to register at a quarry which will certify their produce.
