About
Why are you participating for Based Africa? We are participating to showcase the rich cultural heritage of the Yoruba people and how it can be leveraged to promote Base. It’s a way to merge tradition with technology, highlighting the global relevance of African culture in modern innovation. Additional Features If our project was built before the buildathon we will add Interactive elements in the video that encourage viewers to engage with Base-related activities.
How it's made
What challenges are you focusing on? We are focusing on the challenge of increasing local adoption and awareness of Base by connecting it to familiar and respected cultural elements, making it relatable and appealing to a broader audience. How does your submission address this challenge? We used traditional Yoruba dance and cultural symbols in our video to make Base, easier for the local audience to understand and relate to. This way, we connect modern technology with familiar cultural elements, helping people see how blockchain can fit into their daily lives. Challenges we ran into We faced challenges in crafting and coming up with contents related to Base, getting the dance steps, with the costumes and standard camera and tools for shooting, gettting a suitable location, funny enough it was raining the day we decided to shoot. Additionally, coordinating the team and ensuring smooth production during the shoot required much effort.
