Outro
Thank you for spending time with us on this DeFi for the people episode of Africa 3.0. Just a reminder that none of what we shared is financial advice, only opinions of the individuals involved in making the show possible; use the links in the show notes to do your own research. This episode was produced by Tadii & Feems, thank you as well to the Bankless Africa team for their valuable help and inputs.
Bankless Africa is a node within the Bankless DAO focused on educating & onboarding the African continent into crypto and the wider web3 space.
We are our own wildest dreams. See you in the metasphere.
