# **Partnership Invitation: BlockchainUNN Conference 4.0 — Buildathon Hero** Hello everyone, I’m **Kenzo** , a passionate member of the Zcash community, actively involved in wallet outreach, educational sessions, and onboarding new users across Africa. My work focuses on spreading Zcash’s message of **financial freedom through privacy** while contributing to its community content and local awareness projects. I’d like to invite **Zcash** to **partner or be part of** the upcoming **BlockchainUNN Conference 4.0 — Buildathon Hero** , happening **November 8, 2025** , at **Ekpo Ref, University of Nigeria, Nsukka**. This is not just another tech event — it’s the **biggest blockchain gathering in Nigeria, if not in all of Africa** , drawing thousands of developers, students, and innovators to learn, build, and shape the continent’s blockchain future. 🌍 **Official Links:** - Event Page: [https://www.blockchainunn.org/\](https://www.blockchainunn.org/) - Official X Post: [[https://x.com/BlockchainUNN/status/1853796820063023452\](https://x.com/BlockchainUNN/status/1853796820063023452%5C)]([https://x.com/BlockchainUNN/status/1853796820063023452](https://x.com/BlockchainUNN/status/1853796820063023452)) - Community Handle: [[https://x.com/BlockchainUNN?t=WrhfKQBzW2YCwb-jSFPAxQ&s=09\](https://x.com/BlockchainUNN?t=WrhfKQBzW2YCwb-jSFPAxQ&s=09%5C)]([https://x.com/BlockchainUNN?t=WrhfKQBzW2YCwb-jSFPAxQ&s=09](https://x.com/BlockchainUNN?t=WrhfKQBzW2YCwb-jSFPAxQ&s=09)) * * * ### **About the Event** The **BlockchainUNN Buildathon Hero (2025)** blends education, innovation, and competition.

An event of this scale offers a moment that **Zcash cannot afford to miss**. Projects like **Arbitrum** , **Sui Network** , and **Lisk** have already participated in similar community-led hackathons.
