Recently wrapped up a 3-month cybersecurity acceleration program in Senegal, collaborating with local government and international partners to mentor 6 promising youth-led projects. The live pitch event and awards ceremony took place in Dakar last week—seeing these young talents showcase their security solutions was genuinely inspiring. They're building the future of cyber resilience across Africa, and honestly, it's refreshing to see a new generation stepping up. The kind of talent emerging from this region could reshape how we think about digital security in Web3 and beyond. Africa's got serious cyber builders coming. ❤️

Bro, this is real building, unlike some who just talk about Web3 every day and only issue tokens.

NGL, Senegal's young people are really getting serious this time. Web3 security in Africa will rise sooner or later.

Does Dakar's event this time seem to be of a significant scale? Curious about how these projects will secure future funding.
---
Again Africa, cyber, and Web3... this combination of words is a bit dense haha.
---
Really? Are there any reliable projects among the six, or is it just the usual incubation routine?
---
Africa is indeed underestimated in the field of blockchain security. More projects like this would be great.
---
How was the pitch event? Were there any with particularly high technical content?
---
May I ask, what was the biggest pain point during this round of mentoring? Could it be funding?

Bro, Senegal has a bunch of tough guys. This is the real arbitrage opportunity—early support for Africa's cybersecurity ecosystem. When Web3 explodes locally, these young people will be the next wave of bullish players.

NGL, Senegal's young talents are really stepping up this time. Web3 security in Africa definitely has potential.

How was the pitch event in Dakar? Did you see any projects that are truly capable?
---
Africa's cyber talent pool is about to take off. The changes over the past two years have been quite rapid.
---
Six projects don't sound like much, but quality is what matters most.
---
This is exactly what I want to see—young people genuinely building, much more reliable than aircoin founders.
---
Opportunities to mentor projects like this are rare. You guys must have learned a lot over the past three months.
---
Have you considered the future funding routes for these teams? It feels worth following.
