ETHAccra is an active and inclusive community in West Africa, bringing together developers, founders, researchers, designers, enthusiasts, and newcomers interested in web3 and blockchain technologies.  

We are an informal and passionate group of local people that wants to help grow the local Ethereum ecosystem. We believe the potential of Accra and surrounding areas to be the hub for great ideas and the driver for the Ethereum- driven ethos in West Africa. Our mission is to foster learning and collaboration and provide opportunities to African builders. 
We hosted the premier in person Ethereum-based hackathon in West Africa, a notable held from 7th September - 9th September 2023 at University of Legon. 


We had an amazing turnout with 97 registered hackers who showcased their skills and creativity. The energy was high as we received 15 impressive project submissions. It was truly inspiring to see the talent and collaboration on display throughout the event.

Binance Smart Chain is the most widely used blockchain in Africa, and through ETHAccra event, the community is introduced to alternatives that highlight the advantages of Ethereum ecosystem, in particular of L2s as a fast, cost-effective option.
