🇰🇪 I’ll be speaking on June 13th at the Kenya Blockchain and Crypto Conference in Nairobi alongside some incredible voices shaping the continent’s tech landscape: from Africa’s leading mobile money platform, to pioneering tech ecosystem builders, startup acceleration experts, and blockchain consultancy leaders.
The discussion will stem from what product-market fit actually means when you’re building in decentralized environments. Here’s what I’m particularly excited to dive into:
Real adoption vs. crypto-first thinking - Through Camino Network, we’re seeing how travel companies achieve blockchain benefits without users even knowing they’re on-chain. Sometimes the best Web3 is invisible Web3, and this approach is serving us well when we work with both industry and institutional players like Lufthansa and the ECB on real-world use cases for travel and payments.
Stablecoin infrastructure for travel - Africa leads globally in stablecoin adoption, and tourism represents a natural use case. Cross-border payments, loyalty programs, and distribution networks all become more efficient when built on blockchain rails.
When to show the technology - Working with traditional travel players has taught us that the value proposition comes first, the underlying tech second. But there are moments when highlighting blockchain capabilities creates competitive advantage.
Metrics that matter - Moving beyond vanity metrics to indicators of industry adoption for Web3 applications, in travel in our case.
The African travel market is uniquely positioned for this transformation - strong mobile payment culture, growing regional tourism, and increasing stablecoin familiarity create the perfect foundation for Web3 travel innovation.
Calling all East African hoteliers, DMCs, tour operators, travel tech companies, payment providers, and blockchain startups - let’s connect in Nairobi! Whether at KBCC or around the conference dates, I’d love to explore how blockchain infrastructure can drive efficiency and growth for your business, and how Camino Network can serve as a Web3 ecosystem for Africa’s travel industry.
