Nerds Unite 2019 Conference tagged “Accelerating Digital Transformation,” was held on Friday, February 15, 2019, in Lagos, Nigeria. The event had more than 500 participants in attendance. Nerds Unite is known for the attendance of top businesses like Avanti, Techpoint Africa, GigaLayer, Infoware, Paga, Business Day, and lots more.
Nerds Unite is a gathering of professionals in Fintech, blockchain, and IT, from all over west Africa and the world at large. Since 2016, it has brought the global IT community together through conferences, exhibitions, breakout sessions and networking activities. On Friday, February 15, 2019, it held another conference in Lagos, Nigeria, to expose IT professionals to the latest technologies available for business and its applications for the Nigerian business landscape.
We focused on networking for Dash. By the end of the meeting, new Dash wallets were created and more professional relationships were developed to create new leads for business development in Nigeria.
One of the business leads that were created is integrating Dash into the GigaLayer platform. GigaLayer is an online platform that provides services in web hosting, domain name, and other related services. It aims to help businesses in Africa expanding their reach using the power of the internet, their tools and services which are specifically and carefully designed for achieving online success.Currently, GigaLayer accepts many payment options like the credit/debit cards, PayPal, Paga, KongaPay, GTBank direct payment, M-Pesa (in other African countries), and so on. More importantly, it integrates the use of cryptocurrencies on its platform, currently Bitcoin. On this year’s Nerds Unite meeting we reached consensus on integrating the Dash cryptocurrency into the GigaLayer platform, because it is a better payment option than Bitcoin.

This is a big move towards the adoption of Dash cryptocurrency in Nigeria, and ultimately Africa. With the integration of the Dash cryptocurrency on the GigaLayer platform and other B2B platforms, Nigerians and Africans will be able to purchase domains, web hosting services, and many other services, using cryptocurrencies – Dash or Bitcoin.
