Blockchain is a decentralised digital ledger technology that records transactions across many computers in a way that ensures the data is secure, transparent, and tamper-resistant.
For Africa, blockchain offers a unique opportunity to leapfrog traditional infrastructure and financial systems, providing transparency, security, and financial inclusion.
Step 1: Set Up a Wallet
A digital wallet allows you to store your cryptocurrencies and other digital assets securely.
Think of it as your gateway to the Web3 world.
Step 2: Understand Tokens
Tokens are digital assets built on a blockchain. They can represent anything from currency to art, giving you true ownership of digital items.
Step 3: Explore Web3
Dive into decentralised applications (dApps) that operate on blockchain networks, giving you control and ownership of your data and assets.
Public blockchains, such as Ethereum, represent the next evolution of Internet databases, and MetaMask is the next iteration of the browser.
MetaMask is a web browser extension and mobile app that allows you to manage your Ethereum and Solana private keys. By doing so, it serves as a wallet client for Ether and other tokens, and allows you to interact with decentralised applications, or dapps.
Unlike some wallet clients, MetaMask keeps no information on you: not your email address, not your password, and not your Secret Recovery Phrase or other private keys. You retain all power over your crypto-identity.
Visit https://metamask.io/. Hit "Get MetaMask" in the menu bar. Click “Install MetaMask for Chrome”. You will be directed to the Chrome Web Store. Click “Add to Chrome”.On the pop-up, click “Add extension”. After adding the MetaMask Extension, MetaMask will automatically open. You can also make sure it's easily accessible in your toolbar by clicking the jigsaw icon in the top-right of the screen, and hitting the pin icon.
Alternatively, you could also access each browser's extension store and search for MetaMask. Whatever you prefer! Once you have installed MetaMask, you can create a new wallet or use an existing wallet. Fund your wallet. Adding some tokens to your wallet allows you to fully engage in web3.
After creating your wallet, you'll see a prompt in the MetaMask extension to fund your wallet. From there, you can buy crypto with a debit or credit card, receive crypto from another account, or transfer crypto from a CEX. Select the option you'd like to start with; you can always use a different method later.
