Blockchain Centre NBO

The What, the Who, and the Why!

The What

On June 1, 2025, the Blockchain Centre NBO opened its doors to the public. The Blockchain Centre is an innovation hub devoted to Web3, blockchain technology, and digital transformation. It’s a one-stop venue for communities, events, meetups, hackathons, podcasts, and coworking in Nairobi, Kenya. The goal is to create a friendly space where communities can come together, learn, work, and interact with Web3 and blockchain ideas. The result will be increasing awareness and adoption of blockchain both locally and globally.

The Who(s)

So who are the minds behind it?

Meet WADA and Lido Nation. WADA is a network that empowers local developers and business leaders to build for the future in Web3. WADA focuses its efforts in West and Central Africa. Lido Nation is a global platform focused on blockchain education and outreach, bridging the gap between emerging technologies and the wider world.

The partnership between these two entities gave birth to the Blockchain Centre NBO — a space where learning and community come together, fostering innovation, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing in a physical space.

For who?

From students to Web3 experts and developers, the Blockchain Centre NBO is open to all. Its primary purpose is to foster community building, education, innovation, and networking. The space is designed to be inclusive and accessible, welcoming individuals at every stage of their blockchain journey.

Not only can the community use the physical space, but they can also participate in local and global events that will be hosted at the hub as a primary focus. This makes the Blockchain Centre NBO more than just a venue, it’s a launchpad for ideas, collaboration, and growth in the blockchain technology and Web3 ecosystem.

The Why!

The Mural

Blockchain Centre Mural

Let’s take a short look at the mural, the piece that truly kicked this off as a community space. Inspired by the sketches and vision of mural artist Viktart Mwangi, the venue was opened to the public, inviting anyone to walk in, pick up a brush, and contribute to the artwork.

The mural itself is a representation of technological advancement 50 years into the future: a world where Web3 is the norm, and blockchain and decentralized systems shape the way we live, work, and connect. It features subtle nods to Nairobi’s KICC and Mt. Kilimanjaro, grounding the vision in the local landscape while pointing toward a global future.
