Blockchain conversations in Nigeria often revolve around trading, crypto prices, and speculations. But beyond that there is a growing movement pushing for more meaningful, real world applications of the technology.
Denver, known in the Web3 space as @DenverWeb3Guy, is part of that movement and at the Let’s Build Meetup ConTour 2025, happening on 24th May in Port Harcourt and 31st May in Uyo, he is set to speak on the topic “Beyond Speculation: DePIN as Nigeria’s Practical Blockchain Use Case.”
Denver is the Rivers State Lead at Web3Nigeria and the Marketing Lead at DePIN Land, where he works to expand the reach of Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) across Africa.
DePIN’s are blockchain powered systems where people build, operate, or maintain infrastructures in exchange for crypto rewards or tokens.
His mission is clear to help Nigerians see how blockchain can solve life challenges, not just provide financial gains. Through his work, Denver champions DePIN as a model that can power everyday services like internet connectivity and location tracking using blockchain principles of decentralisation and transparency.
Denver’s journey into the Web3 space has been marked by a commitment to community building and education. From online discussions to in person meetups, he constantly shares insights on how decentralised infrastructure can empower local economies and increase access to essential services.
In his talk, he will explore how DePIN works, why it matters for Nigeria, and how it offers a more grounded use case for blockchain beyond hype or speculation. He will also discuss its potential in creating job opportunities, encouraging data ownership, and supporting infrastructure development in underrepresented communities.
What makes Denver stand out is his ability to break down complex topics and show their relevance to everyday life. He believes that adoption begins with understanding and that Africa can lead in this space if builders focus on solving local problems.
