1 bug. 10 years ago. 3.6 million ETH stolen.
That was The DAO hack. June 2016.
And the bug had already been identified before the attack happened.
I am 24% done with the @CyfrinUpdraft Smart contract Security course and @ethereum history is unraveling.
I remember my very first interaction with Blockchain courtesy of @Web3Clubs .
Learned something something on Cartesi 😅 barely understood what was happening, but I built a demo and got 3700 😂
Cool community that one❤️
🇰🇪 Kenya’s Web3 Developer Landscape: Where the Builders Come From
37% of developers say peers and social networks were their entry point into Web3, making organic networks the single largest onboarding channel in the country.
With formal Web3 education still fragmented, local communities have stepped up as the primary technical infrastructure.
Here are some communities and programs shaping that builder pipeline:
1. @Web3Clubs We (Web3Clubs) are the primary university builder pipeline and incubator in East Africa with:
- 10 completed cohorts (EVM/Solidity, Rust, Cairo, NEAR, Cryptography, Agentic AI)
- 10+ University Chapters spanning Nairobi, Western & Rift Valley (@Maseno_Uni , @MMUST_Kenya , @DiscoverJKUAT , @KenyattaUni , @StrathU , @egertonunikenya , @Tum001Ke , @BaratonChurch , @RiaraUniversity , @uonbi , @kisiuniofficial @DeKUTkenya
- 5,000+ active community members
- 250+ IRL founder support meetups & workshops
2. @_one_dev (One Dev) runs continuous, structured intakes across two core technical tracks:
- Foundations Bootcamp (Programming & CS basics)
- 4-Month Full-Stack & Blockchain Engineering Diploma
3. @ADAMUR_R (Adamur) is a technical collective focused on system automation workflows and building at the high-growth intersection of AI and Decentralized Infrastructure
4. @BCentreNBO (Blockchain Centre Nairobi is long-standing anchor for ecosystem education, hosting physical events, dev meetups, and founder networking
5. @BitDevsNBO hosts monthly technical Socratic seminars diving deep into Bitcoin Core, Lightning Network architecture, eCash, and node setups for protocol-level devs
6. @btc_dada (Bitcoin Dada / Dada Devs) is a women-led Web3 and Bitcoin education initiative training African female engineers to run nodes, build on Lightning, and contribute upstream to open-source repos
7. @AvaxAfrica (Team1 Africa) is driving @avax development across the continent with practical builder cohorts around decentralised agentic Systems
8. @NodeNBO (Node NBO) is a physical innovation campus in Gigiri at the frontier of energy, AI compute, Bitcoin, and freedom tech.
They hosts physical labs and workspaces for organizations like @Fedi, @BtrustTeam, @GridlessCompute, @HRF and local freedom tech builders
Taken together, these programmes show that Kenya’s developer pipeline is being built through community efforts, all playing a different role in moving developers from discovery and learning to actually building.
Up next: We'll take a closer look at the technologies, programming languages and protocol stacks Kenyan developers are choosing to build with, and what that tells us about the direction of the country’s virtual assets ecosystem.

44–75% of agent failures are "false success" - your agent confidently says "done" when nothing happened.
#AgentAtrial fixes the logging.

Did someone mention @ETHSafari 2026 stickers?
Need one for the new machine☺️
11th Anniversary!
Some memories from @ethereum 10th anniversary in Kisumu
I was somewhere this Friday evening
Creatives say aye!
Turning ideas into compelling visual experiences was the lesson
Came across Buzzy, luku ni freshi sio!
#fofnairobi
#Config2026
We won ⚡⚡
What an experience, what a thrill 🥳🥳
Couldn't have done it without this team: left 🔚
Lilian Warutere, Allan (me), @fredgitonga_ke , Gichia, Kazungu Philip, Donald, Phillip Illmer
Gamers, designers , devs, and dreamers who turned 3 days into something we're proud of. 🙌
May is almost done.
46% into the @cyfrinupdraft Smart Contract Security course.
Started the month at 24%. Slow? Maybe.
But every percent is a concept that will protect real money. Here is what I learned this month
Collaborated on @topizzy , where you can easily top up airtime with $USDC on @base .
A peer audit from @TavarasCamp came in. CEI violations flagged. I went into the contract and fixed them.
Visit the site topizzy.xyz 🙂
Grateful for the host @OmuosoH85685 organizing this.
Had an exciting conversation with 20+ Meru Uni students and @AbhishekTakle1 as a guest as we explored interoperability and bridges!
I referenced @CyfrinUpdraft blogs, great resource to get start understanding blockchain.
What's this Thursday plan at 8:00 pm UTC+3?
Let's talk about interoperability in Blockchain ⚡
Meru Uni Blockchain Community is locked in.
retirement plans max pro.
$285 million was stolen on the first day of this month.
12 days later, someone walked away with another $237k.
Breaking down Web3 and blockchain from scratch with 22 students from Mombasa Uni⚡️⚡️
we are breaking down:
🔹 What blockchain actually is
🔹 Where to start learning for free
🔹 Why the best time to start is now
