EBW // 2026
A decentralized, community-led innovation and cultural festival happening across Enugu. 30+ side events, elite hackathons, masterclasses, and panels.
What is EBW
Enugu Blockchain Week is a 12-day decentralized ecosystem festival. Communities host their own events — hackathons, workshops, meetups, panels, cultural nights — under one umbrella. Chain-agnostic. Community-driven.
Think Berlin Blockchain Week or Korea Blockchain Week. But built for Africa.

Highlights
Twelve days of intense coding, strategic workshops, competitive sports, and Afrofuturist culture.
A 6-day product launchpad. 80 elite developers building scalable African use-cases in Finance, AI Agents, Real-World Assets, and Wildcard Tracks. With a $3,500–$7,500 prize pool, we build real products, not weekend slides.
The flagship gathering. Groundbreaking keynotes, panel discussions, product showcases, and the Hackathon Demo Day winners announcement.
Over 30 side events organized by community hubs across the city. Includes protocol developer workshops, professional meetups, e-sports gaming tournaments, and organized hiking trips up Udi Hills.
The Coal City Tech Rise
Enugu is rapidly transforming into the premier tech corridor of Southeast Nigeria. Famous for its serene landscape and secure environment, the city hosts a massive academic population representing the next wave of developer talent.
We have partnered with the largest student-builder networks to engage over 7 major academic communities throughout Enugu Blockchain Week.
Cohort Open
Enugu Blockchain Week is built entirely on community energy. If you design graphics, write articles, film summaries, or lead university developer cohorts, make EBW contents and help shape the narrative.
