Solution

We want to hire and train an on-ground ambassador for Cardano NFTs in Africa. This person’s main task would be to find artists & creators within African territories and onboard them to NFTs.

Problem:

NFTs on Cardano have seen an uptick in trading volume over the past few months, though as per our analytics most of our traffic tends to originate from North America.
