While the use of cryptocurrencies, NFTs and blockchain technology generally continues to gain popularity globally, one of the major existing problems remains transitioning users from the traditional Web2 technology they’re familiar with to the emerging Web3 technology.

From the use of crypto wallets to the trading of cryptocurrencies and NFTs, the use of Web3 services has been on the rise in African countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and a few others. According to reports, 27% of internet users in Nigeria own cryptocurrencies even with a cryptocurrency ban in place in the country, and over 4 million South Africans own crypto as reported by Finder.

Generally, there’s an interest in Web3 technology in Africa already and aside from government interference, one of the problems as is evident with every emerging technology is ease of transition from the existing norm. Cassava understands the problems and has built solutions to help African users, creators and developers easily transition to a Web3 world.

Grab a cup of coffee and get comfy while we dive into how Cassava network is onboarding Africa to Web3.

Cassava Avatars: Gateway to the Cassava Rewards System

We recently released our Cassava AfriMyth Avatars — easy-to-create characters that pay tribute to African heritage, myths and legends. These Avatars also serve as an ID and grant access to the Cassava rewards system where users can complete tasks to earn.

Cassava Avatars are easy to make and in-line with our mission of onboarding more users into Web3. No crypto experience is required — you don’t even need a crypto wallet to create an avatar. How cool is that? With just an email address, you can create an Avatar that brings you into Web3 and the Cassava ecosystem.

It’s important to note that Cassava Avatars will be moved on-chain in the future, making them the perfect way to get started with crypto, blockchain and Web3.

Cassava Rewards you for Living (Almost)

These range from playing games, creating content across different social platforms and just simply engaging with content from your favorite content creators. In many occasions, these are everyday activities; it’s more like Cassava rewards you for simply living your life!

It’s Easy to Implement Cassava into Existing Web2 Apps

Implementing the Cassava reward system into existing Web2 apps is easy, and we at Cassava are always available to assist developers with implementation. Implementing Cassava into existing apps gives developers an opportunity to enter the world of blockchain technology without needing to develop using complicated programming languages. .

Users of various partner Web2 apps can begin earning $CSV tokens for completing various activities that include Play-to-Earn, Engage-to-Earn and even Create-to-Earn.

Our network keeps growing as we seek to partner with both big and small brands in Africa. We’re already partnered with Boomplay (the biggest music streaming platform in Africa), Scooper news, VSkit, Ficool and several other leading apps. Users will be rewarded for creating and engaging with contents across the apps, many of which they already use.

Easy-to-Use Wallet and NFT Marketplace

The Cassava app features an easy-to-use multi-chain cryptocurrency wallet where users can easily store their $CSV and other cryptocurrency tokens across major blockchains. By enabling compatibility with different blockchains, it allows Cassava users to access all their crypto holdings in the same place, at any time.

In addition to a multi-chain wallet, the Cassava Network app integrates an open NFT marketplace where users can easily buy and sell NFTs. With this integration, users do not need to visit third-party websites to trade NFTs stored in the Cassava app. The integration of NFTs in the Cassava app also makes it easy to access features like loot boxes, random drops and other NFT incentives.

The availability of an easy-to-use multichain wallet and in-app NFT marketplace removes the complexity associated with other solutions that require users to manage different wallets for different blockchains while requiring 3rd party solutions for trading NFTs. With Cassava, it’s an all-in-one solution made easy for Africans.

Users can start out by creating their unique Cassava avatars.

Onboarding Web2 and Web3 Companies into the Cassava Network Ecosystem

Being that a reward system cannot exist without partners, Cassava plans to build one of the biggest networks of partners across Africa. In line with leveraging rewards to onboard more Africans into Web3, Cassava is already in partnership with some household names in Africa that include; Scooper, Boomplay, Vskit, Ficool.

Cassava can be easily integrated into any Web2 or Web3 app, giving developers an opportunity to begin incentivizing their users through blockchain technology. While helping brands grow by engaging in partner cross-promotions, Cassava helps onboard new users into the Web3 space by incentivizing them with rewards for using the apps they already love.
