Saturday in Nairobi was abuzz with curiosity and excitement as the Gnosis Builders Nairobi Meetup kicked off. With an attendance of 31 passionate individuals, the day was not just about conversations, but a deep dive into the intriguing world of Gnosis Chain and blockchain technology. A diverse range of people came together, united by their interest in leveraging blockchain technology to create a better, more secure, and decentralized future.

A Meeting of Minds
