Top3 Web3 Products of the Week #14

Last week, my live interview dropped commemorating the anniversary of my first book.

It was a heartfelt interview that dives deeper into my background and my journey through the world of startups. I highly recommend it for early-career professionals and especially first-time entrepreneurs.

You can watch the entire interview here, and see my favorite clips on my Instagram. I included some of my favorite highlights below:

You can order the book anytime here on Amazon.

Just let me know what you think when you’re done reading! Looking forward to reviewing everyone’s feedback.

I’ve also been studying a16z’s Crypto Startup School resources. It’s a great place to start for anyone new to Web3 and in search of some guidance. They have an entire library of course content that provides the best breakdown of Web3 concepts I’ve heard so far: https://a16zcrypto.com/crypto-startup-school/

I’ve also been re-reading a16z’s famous “100 True Fans” article. It’s been top of mind as I develop @NFTPrintPro with my team into the one-stop-shop for creator-led businesses. Take a look at the summary tweets below, and use them as inspiration to start building your online community.

The Future of Web3.0 and African DeFi.

Industry: Financial Technology, Financial Services, DeFi

Canza is building an open finance portal enabling access to unlimited financial services for emerging markets.

Canza’z JaraOTC bridges the gap between centralized and decentralized finance by giving Africans access to blockchain-enabled financial services in the form of remittance/payment gateways, capital preservation tools, capital appreciation tools, liquidity management tools, and digital asset custodial solutions. JaraOTC uses an innovative user interface underpinned by specifically curated infrastructure to provide structured product offerings built on-chain. With this setup, JaraOTC connects alternative solutions created in the decentralized finance space to customers needing these solutions.

Canza’s Baki is an Infinite-liquidity FX protocol allowing for slippage free swaps between African currencies. The protocol allows users to deposit stable coins and mint overcollateralized, synthetic assets, called zTokens, that are pegged to African currencies, creating the first on-chain implementation of African stable coins. Any zToken can be burnt to mint the equivalent value, of zTokens in another currency. Currently, Baki supports the minting of US Dollars (zUSD), Nigerian Naira (zNGN), West African CFA (zCFA) and South African Rand (zZAR). All FX conversions between currencies are provided at the central bank rates, offering users access to dollar markets at the best possible rates.
