With over 500 applicants and 152 selected students, Blockfuse Labs marks another major milestone in its mission to empower Africa through Web3 education.
Jos, Nigeria-The future of blockchain innovation in Africa just got brighter. Blockfuse Labs, a leading Web3 education and development hub, has proudly announced the successful graduation of Cohort II, a new group of Web3 builders and pioneers. The graduation ceremony, held last week, marked the end of a powerful 20-week journey that turned curious minds into capable creators in the fast-evolving decentralized space.

From the outset, Cohort II promised to be bigger and bolder. Launched on January 6th, 2025, the second edition of the program saw a massive 100% increase in applications, drawing interest from over 500 eager learners across Africa. Of these, 152 passionate and talented individuals were selected to join the intensive training, mentorship, and community-driven program designed to equip them with real-world Web3 skills.
“We did it again!” Blockfuse Labs shared via their official X (formerly Twitter) page. “From curious beginners to Web3 trailblazers, these students showed the world what African talent can do in just 20 weeks.”
Building on a Strong Foundation
Blockfuse Labs isn’t new to success. The inaugural Cohort I set a high benchmark in 2024, proving that African youth are more than ready to embrace blockchain technology—not just as users, but as builders and innovators. The overwhelming response to the call for Cohort II reaffirmed the growing appetite for Web3 education in Africa and the need for more structured platforms to harness that interest.
The newly graduated participants have now joined a growing network of Web3 professionals capable of developing decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, and blockchain protocols that can power next-generation financial services, governance systems, identity solutions, and more—all while championing the global shift toward decentralization.
Why Web3, Why Africa?
Africa is increasingly seen as a fertile ground for blockchain innovation. With over 70% of the continent’s population under 30, mobile-first users, and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, the region is uniquely positioned to leapfrog into the decentralized economy. Blockfuse Labs is harnessing this momentum by offering hands-on, structured education in blockchain technologies, smart contract development, and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Africa is reported to be one of the fastest-growing regions for cryptocurrency adoption. However, the knowledge gap remains a major barrier. Blockfuse Labs fills that gap by offering a curriculum tailored to both beginners and intermediate learners, helping bridge the skills divide and create homegrown blockchain talent.
Empowering the Next Generation
The 20-week program included instructor-led classes, peer-to-peer projects, industry mentorship, and real-time building challenges. Students worked on solving real-world problems with blockchain.
“We’re not just teaching code, we’re building capacity,” said Peter Adaaku Jr, The CEO.
These graduates are not just developers. They’re innovators who will redefine how Africa participates in the global Web3 ecosystem.”
The impact of the program is already visible. Several graduates from Cohort I and II have secured internships, and funding opportunities from blockchain projects both within and outside Africa. Many are now contributors to global open-source Web3 communities.
A Pan-African Effort
Though headquartered in Nigeria, Blockfuse Labs prides itself on its pan-African outreach, with participants hailing from other African countries. The organization is committed to building a decentralized future that is inclusive, diverse, and African-led.
With the successful graduation of Cohort II, the team is already looking ahead. Plans for Cohort III are underway, with even more ambitious goals: increase outreach to underserved regions, introduce new verticals like AI x Blockchain, and strengthen partnerships with local and international tech stakeholders.
Conclusion
Blockfuse Labs is more than an education platform, it’s a movement. A movement aimed at equipping Africans with the tools, mindset, and network to lead the digital revolution. With each cohort, the dream of a decentralized, innovative, and self-reliant Africa inches closer to reality.
