We are excited to announce the official launch of Zcash East Africa, a growing community dedicated to expanding privacy education, onboarding users, and building a stronger Zcash ecosystem across East Africa.
All of this started at KBCC 2026 where the team ensured presence to understand the tech community in kenya perspective towards privacy. All of the feedback we got led to the consolidation of the Zcash East African Community.
To mark this milestone, we are hosting our first community onboarding meetup to introduce students and community members to Zcash and digital privacy.
