Nigerian founder Oguchukwu Aronu urges Africa to build onchain infrastructure that captures value, following Asset Chain’s public mainnet launch.
Oguchukwu Aronu, Nigerian founder of Asset Chain, Xend Finance, and WiCrypt, has called on Africans to build blockchain systems that capture economic value, not just consume it. Speaking after Asset Chain’s public mainnet launch—the first EVM-compatible chain from Nigeria—Aronu emphasized that Africa must own part of the $3.3 trillion crypto market.
He said Africa’s growing crypto adoption still disproportionately benefits foreign chains like Binance and TRON, while local infrastructure like cNGN remains underutilized. Asset Chain aims to change this by attracting liquidity, supporting African builders, and creating blockchain-native systems tailored for local needs.
Citing leaders like Dangote and Elumelu, Aronu stressed the need for builders who prioritize legacy over profit. “We need to grow slowly and bring real users onchain,” he said, calling for patient growth, founder collaboration, and homegrown innovation that scales the continent’s digital economy.
