Bitget Africa Launches Developer-Focused Crypto Bootcamp at KBCC

On Day 2 of the Kenya Blockchain & Crypto Conference (KBCC 2025) in Nairobi, Bitget Africa delivered an engaging, hands-on masterclass led by blockchain educator Mathendu Ke. The session dove deep into crypto fundamentals—covering blockchain architecture, wallet safety, transaction flows, and smart-contract basics. Attendees, ranging from curious novices to seasoned blockchain developers, praised the session for its clarity and practical focus, often paired with live demos and real-time Q&A.

Bitget’s Educational Mission

Bitget Africa’s presence at KBCC underscores its ongoing commitment to regional education and mass crypto adoption. With the theme “Driving Blockchain Innovation and Mass Adoption,” the two-day conference emphasizes accessible knowledge and community-building. Bitget’s empowerment-focused masterclass aligns perfectly with KBCC’s mission to demystify blockchain and bridge the gap between policy, technology, and public understanding.

Practical Insight Captivates the Crowd

One notable highlight came when Mathendu walked participants through a live smart-contract deployment—showing how DApps communicate with wallets and on-chain networks. The hands-on approach brought blockchain to life, making abstract concepts tangible. Many participants noted a sense of accomplishment after successfully sending transactions and verifying data on testnets. As one attendee shared: “Finally, something I can actually apply right now,” reflecting the session’s real-world impact.

Community Connections and Networking

The KBCC venue buzzed with interaction, as Bitget’s session drew interest from entrepreneurs, regulators, and NGO representatives. Beyond education, Bitget leveraged the opportunity to foster regional partnerships. Opening remarks from Bitget Africa expressed gratitude for collaborating with leading African blockchain players like M-Pesa, Safaricom, and Binance, highlighting collective efforts to expand crypto infrastructure and regulatory dialogue .

Empowering the Next Wave of Builders

Bitget Africa also revealed plans for local bootcamps and developer challenges later this year. These initiatives aim to transition KBCC attendees from learners to creators, offering community grants, hackathon sponsorships, and mentorship programs. This forward-thinking strategy seeks to turn newfound knowledge into real-world innovation and empower a new generation of crypto-native entrepreneurs.

KBCC 2025: A Regional Crypto Pivot Point

Held June 12–13 at Nairobi’s A.S.K. Dome, KBCC 2025 drew over 1,500 participants from across the continent, including policymakers, startups, and institutional leaders. With sessions like Bitget’s masterclass and discussions on digital asset tax adjustments, VASP legislation, and blockchain regulation, the conference acts as a meeting point for innovation and policy — fueling Kenya’s emergence as a continental crypto hub.

The Road Ahead

As KBCC concludes, Bitget Africa’s educational presence sets a powerful precedent. Its masterclass not only provided clarity on blockchain fundamentals, but also ignited a community-driven spark for future development. With follow-up bootcamps and developer support in the pipeline, Bitget is deepening its role as a catalyst in Africa’s Web3 ecosystem. For attendees, this is more than a session—it’s the start of a journey into building the blockchain-powered future.
