Its growing suite of products offers developers easy access to major scaling solutions including L2 (ZK Rollups and Optimistic Rollups), sidechains, hybrid, stand-alone and enterprise chains, and data availability. Polygon’s scaling solutions have seen widespread adoption with 19,000+ decentralized applications hosted, 1.6B+ total transactions processed, 142M+ unique user addresses, and $5B+ in assets secured.

Hashgreed

Hashgreed is the first African marketplace for non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Hashgreed provides a blockchain-powered file certification tool, a multipurpose NFT/ web3 marketplace, access to real estate and tech startup ownership and low-interest DeFi-powered loans.

Launched in January 2021, the company prides itself on making NFT easy and accessible for Africans.

Efosa Ighodaro, the CEO/Founder of Hashgreed will be speaking during the final panel session, Making money from NFTs, at Technext Coinference 2.0.

GIGXPad

GIGXPad, widely tagged “the crypto bank”, is an emerging exchange that is gradually becoming marketable in the Nigerian crypto space.

This platform enables users to buy, store, swap, send, borrow, stake, and earn returns from real-world business assets directly with close to zero fees.

Currently in three African markets; Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya, Bitmama enables users to be able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies conveniently using their debit cards.

Founded in 2019 by Ruth Iselema, the platform also allows users to carry out regular online payments, pay utilities and perform transactions such as staking to hedge against currency devaluation. The company recently raised a $2 million pre-seed fund.

Ruth Iselema is one of the confirmed speakers for the panel conversation on Crypto x Africa: the strains, the gains and the future at Technext Coinference 2.0.
