More than a hackathon — spanning movement fueled by real builders, real tools, and real outcomes.

Who Is DarBlockchain?

Founded in Tunisia, DarBlockchain is a leading Web3 hub dedicated to accelerating blockchain adoption across the MENA region and Africa. The organization operates at the intersection of education, community-building, and enterprise innovation.

With a growing network of developers, educators, university partners, and blockchain ecosystem collaborators, DarBlockchain has trained over 1,500 developers, hosted dozens of workshops, and built bridges between global protocols and local builders. Whether it’s hackathons, dev bootcamps, ecosystem activation, or B2B consulting, DarBlockchain is building the groundwork for a decentralized future — with the region’s voice at the center.

DarBlockchain: The Web3 Engine of MENA & Africa

From Tunis to Lagos, from Accra to Cairo — the Web3 wave is no longer coming. It’s already here. And DarBlockchain is at the heart of it.

In partnership with Hedera and Orange Middle East & Africa, the Hedera Africa Hackathon is breaking records — and breaking barriers. With over $1,000,000 in prizes, 13+ countries activated, and 1,500+ developers onboarded, this initiative is transforming the MENA and African regions into real engines of decentralized innovation.

Why This Hackathon Is Different

MENA + Africa Focus: Unlike most global campaigns, this one was built for and with the region. From Francophone Africa to North African hubs, this is a truly regional effort.

•  $1M+ Prize Pool: One of the largest in the continent’s history, unlocking potential far beyond code sprints.

•  Campus + Community Tracks: Students, grassroots builders, and emerging devs are not just included — they’re leading.

•  Live Training: Dozens of physical and online workshops led by DarBlockchain and its regional allies.Renewable Energy Sources:

DarBlockchain’s Role: Infrastructure for Builders

This isn't just participation. It’s leadership.

As Hedera’s regional partner, DarBlockchain is:

• Hosting 20+ workshops across Tunisia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and Côte d'Ivoire

• Onboarding over 1,500 developers with hands-on Hedera training

• Providing multilingual mentorship, localized tooling, and technical office hours

• Managing community spaces across Discord, Telegram, and university hubs

From bootcamps to mainnet deployment paths, DarBlockchain is building the entire learning-to-launch pipeline for Web3 in the region.

Why Hedera Matters

Unlike most Layer 1s, Hedera Hashgraph is not only carbon-negative — it’s fast, enterprise-grade, and ready for real use cases. Its unique consensus mechanism, paired with low transaction costs and finality, make it ideal for:

• Identity systems

• Carbon credit markets

• Microfinance applications

• Public infrastructure transparency

By giving developers across MENA and Africa direct access to Hedera’s stack, this hackathon isn’t just opening doors — it’s putting real tools in real hands.

Real Projects. Real Problems. Real Solutions.

This isn’t just about ideas. These are functioning MVPs coming out of the hackathon already:

• VoteChain: Transparent student elections powered by smart contracts

• GreenMint: Tokenized carbon credit infrastructure for micro-farming

• CreatorPay: Royalty and licensing system for African/North African artists

These tools aren't speculative. They're grounded in real needs, built by local talent, and deployable across borders — all powered by Hedera.

What’s Next from DarBlockchain & Hedera

We’re just getting started. The roadmap includes:

•  Regional pitch rounds to showcase local leaders

•  Post-hackathon incubation for top projects

•  Ongoing bootcamps across MENA and Sub-Saharan Africa

•  Web3 Builders Summit 2026 (in planning phase now)

Whether it’s education, community-building, or product development — DarBlockchain isn’t watching Web3 happen. It’s making it happen, powered by Hedera.

Conclusion: We’re Not Following. We’re Leading.

The Hedera Hackathon is the fuel. The builders are the spark. And DarBlockchain is the engine.

From MENA to Africa, we’re empowering the next wave of Web3 pioneers — and making sure their voices shape the global conversation.
