Anti-CV Spent months chasing points, completing tasks and tracking leaderboards for rewards that never arrived At the time, I thought the payout was the goal Some campaigns paid less than expected Some testnets led nowhere Some airdrops never came What surprised me was realizing that the rewards were only part of the experience The people I met, the things I learned and the communities I discovered ended up being worth more than most of the payouts I was chasing My most marketable skill is probably knowing which dashboards are worth checking before I've had my first coffee Thanks @RallyOnChain for reminding me that not every valuable outcome fits neatly into a wallet Have you ever gone after the rewards and discovered something you didn't expect ? Which project was it ?

🌍 The brand-new CV VC African Blockchain Report is now live! Access the full report now: The report, co-published by @Absa_CIB, demonstrates that Africa's blockchain industry is entering a new phase of economic relevance. Our annual African Blockchain Report offers a data-rich view into the continent’s position within the global blockchain ecosystem. Key report highlights include: 🔹 African blockchain startups raised $90.1 million across 28 deals in 2025, as total capital deployed declined 26.6% year-on-year 🔹 Africa's share of global blockchain deal activity climbed to a record 2.8%, signalling sustained early-stage innovation 🔹 Centralised blockchain services dominated segment wise, capturing 67.9% of all blockchain capital deployed on the continent 🔹 Geographically, Pan-African startups led with 57.2% of total funding secured, followed by South Africa (21.1%) and Nigeria (13.5%) 🔹 Seed stage deals dominated the African blockchain venture funding landscape, accruing 45.8% of total funding across 13 deals "Africa is not an emerging blockchain market. It is an arriving one," said Mathias Ruch, CEO of CV VC. "While global capital is consolidating around fewer, larger bets, Africa is widening the innovation frontier, integrating blockchain into essential economic infrastructure because necessity and foresight are driving its effective use." Beyond the data, this edition features original contributions from leading voices across the ecosystem - including an in-depth look at the regulatory landscape provided by @yellowcard_app - offering ground-level perspective on how blockchain and frontier technology are reshaping industries across the continent. A big thank you to @Absa_CIB, @yellowcard_app, @binance, BlockTower, @circle, @letsokhi, Orca Fraud, @sumsub, @SolconCapital, @turnstayfinance, @ZARP_Stablecoin, and @cngn_co Access the full African Blockchain Report on our website:

We're pleased to welcome the @Cardano_CF as a partner of CV Summit 2026. As an independent, Swiss-based not-for-profit, the @Cardano_CF is dedicated to advancing Cardano as a public digital infrastructure across multiple industries. The Foundation provides support from discovery to integration, strengthening enterprises' blockchain readiness through education, engagement, and concrete industry use cases. That focus on infrastructure and education over speculation is exactly the kind of conversation CV Summit exists to host. @Cardano_CF's CEO, @F_Gregaard, will take the stage to explore why trust, not technology, is the real constraint as stablecoins and tokenized assets move into regulated market infrastructure. Join us in Zurich on 29–30 September as we bring together the institutions, investors, and policymakers shaping what comes next in AI and institutional digital assets.
