About the Programme
A residency built around builders, not hype
The residency is an opportunity to develop technical skills, collaborate with other builders, work on practical projects and engage with the privacy and blockchain ecosystem.
Why it is being organised
To grow local capacity in privacy engineering and blockchain development, and to connect African builders with the wider open-source ecosystem.
The role of ZOERD
ZOERD Privacy Blockchain & AI Innovation Hub convenes the residency, provides the innovation environment, technical direction and research framing.
The role of Zcash Ghana
Zcash Ghana brings community, privacy-technology expertise and ecosystem connections to the residency programme.
What participants learn and build
Participants develop technical skills, collaborate with other builders, work on practical projects and engage with the broader privacy and blockchain ecosystem. [CURRICULUM TO BE CONFIRMED]
Why it matters for Africa
Privacy technology protects people, and blockchain development creates open infrastructure. Building that capability locally strengthens Africa's technology ecosystem.
