aeternity platform is built for mobile decentralized applications, making it most suitable for the African Continent. Competition like Etherium, Eos and even Bitcoin Cash are only capable of web applications

aeternity is being built for scalable deapps; It’s the first 3rd generation blockchain platform to implement “Bitcoin-NG”; a feature that reduces latency in confirming transactions. Poised to offer unlimited number of transactions per second.

Perception of the Industry at the Moment

Most people can’t differentiate between blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Blockchain is imagined to be a technology applicable only in the distant future.

So far, there is not tangible use-case/solution that has been implemented successfully to convince the crowd/masses about the importance and relevance of blockchain in our day-to-day engagement.

Frank further outlines their mission as:

From talking-heads to developers of real blockchain solutions in Africa.

Challenge the status quo, push and bulldoze the SMEs, Governments and StartUps to take blockchain technology with the seriousness it deserves.

Make Africa blockchain, ICO and Cryptocurrency friendly.
