We recently launched the Cassava AfriMyth Avatars and we’ve loved the engagement from our community so far. Lots of community members have taken time to build amazing Avatars and have also shared Cassava with their friends across social media. We are overjoyed by the support from our community as we continue on the mission to onboard more Africans into Web3.

While we’re keen on helping more Africans transition from Web2 to Web3, we’re also very enthusiastic about educating our community on the general Cassava ecosystem and all our amazing products — not to mention crypto education.

Yet to build your Cassava AfriMyth Avatar? It only takes a minute to get it done. Get started by signing up on app.cassava.network and join us as we take a dive into 6 interesting facts about the Cassava AfriMyth Avatar.

Your Cassava AfriMyth Avatar is your ID in the Cassava Reward System

Yes, you read that correctly! The easy-to-create Cassava AfriMyth Avatars grant you access to the Cassava rewards system. It serves as your Cassava identity and is used to track your online activity and awards you points that can be traded for rewards.

This generally means that to earn rewards by completing tasks in the Cassava rewards system, users must have a Cassava AfriMyth Avatar. Luckily for us, they’re easy to create and anyone can create one without any prior crypto knowledge.

The Cassava AfriMyth Avatars Pay Tribute to our African Heritage

Cassava Network was born in Africa, and with our focus on the African market and our mission to help more Africans transition from Web2 to Web3, we decided to pay tribute to our African heritage through the AfriMyth Avatars.

Some of the great African historical and mythological characters featured in the Cassava Avatar system are: Anansi, the Akan trickster god of stories, wisdom, knowledge and possibly creation; Queen Idia, the mother of Oba Esigie of Benin kingdom; Sango, a popular deity in the Yoruba kingdom; Afonja of Illorin, a great Oyo general; and Usman Dan Fodio, founder of the Sokoto Caliphate in northern Nigeria.

Your Avatar will be an NFT

Cassava AfriMyth Avatars are a special kind of NFT. They serve as an identity and grant holders access to earn rewards in the Cassava ecosystem. Initially launched off-chain to drive inclusion and help onboard more Africans into Web3, the Cassava Avatars will later be taken on-chain, unlocking their full value in the NFT market.

No Two Avatars Can Ever be the Same

Your Cassava Avatars are unique and no other Avatar will ever be the same as yours. With a variety of mythological characters to serve as the Avatar base and so many possible combinations to explore, it is almost impossible for two users to have Avatars with the same exact characteristics.

Creating your unique Cassava AfriMyth Avatar is quite easy and can be completed in less than 5 minutes. You can also join the Cassava AfriMyth Avatar competition to win amazing prizes.

You don’t Need a Crypto Wallet to Create your Avatar

You heard that right! You do not need access to a crypto wallet to create your unique Cassava AfriMyth Avatar. As we continue to help more Africans transition from Web2 to Web3, we decided to launch our Avatar system off-chain, enabling users with little or no crypto knowledge to engage with our systems.

With just an email address, anyone can sign up on Cassava and get started building an Avatar. For those looking to get started in NFTs but unsure where to begin, this is a fantastic place to start — your Avatar will be brought on-chain in the future, potentially becoming your very first NFT!

Our Avatars are easy to create and can be completed in less than 5 minutes by simply signing up with an email address by visiting app.cassava.network.

Customizing your Avatar with AfriMyth Prop NFTs Increases your Reward Potential

Your Avatar is a base to which you can add more elements to customize the look and change the Avatar’s function. This is where props come in.

As we continue to roll out more products and features, users will be able to add props to their base Avatar. Besides the aesthetic purposes they serve, these props also increase your reward potential.

Supposing users can earn 10 points for a task, with a prop added to their Avatar, the reward may get to 12 points and may even be higher depending on the rarity of the prop.

Web3 Made Easy for Africans

With one of the issues surrounding Web3 technology being the technicalities involved and how to properly transition from the use of traditional Web2 technology to the more advanced Web3 tech, the team at Cassava has made it easy for anyone to enjoy Web3 benefits without any prior knowledge.

With nothing but an email address, users can begin enjoying Web3 benefits with Cassava. To get started with this, visit app.cassava.network to create your unique Avatar.
