NODO is excited to announce our partnership with the Web3 payment and onramp/offramp service, Fonbnk, to seamlessly integrate into our user engagement and rewards infrastructure, NODO Gems. Through this integration, users on the NODO platform will receive USDC on the Avalanche Network as rewards for their interactions with the pan-African Web3 SocialFi platform, leveraging Fonbnk's cutting-edge mobile-focused DeFi solution.

NODO is a pan-African Web3 & tech product community where users can directly engage with their favorite projects, catch the latest market news and industry insights, as well as contribute to building the continent’s tech ecosystem. With over 130,000 users and over 1.6 million site visits since inception, NODO is currently a leading Web3 platform in Africa in terms of site traffic and volume. NODO plans to enable seamless rewards tracking & distribution with its multichain rewards infrastructure, NODO Gems, launched on the Avalanche testnet in Q4 2023. NODO partners with over 1,125 Maker communities across the African continent to drive overall blockchain engagement, growth, and transaction volume for global partners.

Simultaneously, Fonbnk is one of the leading projects in Africa driving the adoption of Avalanche. Their platform uniquely combines mobile technology with Web3 innovation, allowing users to exchange crypto assets for mobile airtime and make payments through their SIM cards. Fonbnk is also an Avalanche regional partner, having built a dedicated Avalanche on-ramp on the Avalanche C-Chain to drive adoption and growth to retail users and Avalanche partners emerging in the Sub-Saharan Africa region. The synergy between our projects is evident and this partnership promises to bring exciting functionalities and programs for the African community.

Avalanche is a globally leading Layer-1 blockchain that has a noticeably growing community in the African continent. It has partnered with continent-leading Web3 players including Fonbnk, Canza Finance, and Circle to accelerate adoption of AVAX, stablecoins, and DeFi in the region. Through Fonbnk’s partnership with NODO, access to the Avalanche ecosystem and AVAX token will be widened to the African community more than ever before. Together, NODO and Fonbnk will work together to boost user engagement and transaction volumes within the broader Avalanche ecosystem. By integrating the innovative on-ramp and off-ramp service of Fonbnk, we aim to create a robust smart contract architecture that automates the distribution of rewards to users of NODO in a fast and seamless manner.

Shogo Ishida, Co-Founder of NODO, shared: “NODO is pleased to partner with the innovative DeFi platform, Fonbnk, spearheading Avalanche adoption in Africa. As Avalanche is one of the key networks launched on NODO Gems, we are keen to enhance the user experience of newcomers on NODO & reward brand loyalty for WEB3 projects on the Avalanche blockchain. Together, NODO and Fonbnk aim to not only expand our respective communities but also to play a pivotal role in accelerating the growth of the Avalanche ecosystem in Africa's burgeoning market.”

Christian Duffus, Founder & CEO of Fonbnk, commented: "In partnership with NODO, Fonbnk is set to revolutionize the way newcomers interact with decentralized social platforms by employing our intuitive no-code and low-code dApps and APIs. This collaboration simplifies the integration of Avalanche's features into NODO's ecosystem as well as aligns with our shared commitment to enhancing the digital experience for newcomers and fostering brand loyalty in the Web3 space. Together, we're poised to make a significant impact in expanding the Avalanche network across Africa's dynamic crypto markets."

Additionally, NODO and Fonbnk will work together to produce quality educational content as well as engaging events and campaigns dedicated to raising awareness and participation in the Web3 and Avalanche ecosystems. Notably, we will be hosting an exciting wallet connect campaign to incentivize users to join the Avalanche ecosystem and get started with their own AVAX wallets.
