Akangbe disclosed that several activities initiated by Solana supported the effective onboarding of many Africans into its ecosystem. He claimed these initiatives promoted the practical adoption of blockchain technology.&nbsp;
The CMO mentioned the Nigerian Solana Allstars as one of the active decentralized groups promoting Solana’s adoption around the world. He noted that such efforts pushed the crypto communities to focus on the ‘real-world utility of Solana’s projects.’&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 “Solana is actively involved in driving cryptocurrency adoption in Africa, leveraging its robust blockchain technology.”

According to Satoshi Talks, the Solana ecosystem is suitable for the growing&nbsp; African market due to its high transaction speeds and low transaction fees (~$0.00025 per transaction).&nbsp;

According to Akangbe, Nigeria was at the forefront of showcasing Solana’s thriving African community in different parts of the continent. He mentioned that the Foundation had implemented many Solana-focused initiatives in his native country, Nigeria, to onboard more Africans.&nbsp;
The CoinEx exchange also affirmed that the Solana ecosystem had demonstrated resilience despite facing ‘network performance issues’ and the collapse of the FTX exchange. According to CoinEx, Solana’s DeFi sector underwent significant growth as its Total Value Locked (TVL) increased from $421 million to $1.27 billion.
CoinEx <a href="https://www.coinex.com/en/info/sol#intro-more" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">claimed</a> that Solana’s strategic partnerships highlighted the blockchain’s growing market relevance and influence with projects like The Heist, Reavers, and Idle Gaming. CoinEx also mentioned that Solana’s NFT market showed signs of substantial growth.
“The resilience of Solana is a story that will be passed down through generations.”
