    Monday’s AWS outage disrupted a third of the internet, affecting African Web3 startups like Azza and AZA Finance. The incident highlights the reliance of supposedly “decentralised” platforms on centralised cloud infrastructure and the costly trade-offs startups face when building redundant systems to ensure uptime. Some startups, like Palremit and Azawire, avoided downtime thanks to multi-region or alternative hosting strategies, showing that decentralisation in blockchain often stops at infrastructure.

  • Nigerians are investing with cNGN stablecoin. Regulators say this is risky


    Stablecoins have not yet demonstrated consistent price stability, raising questions about their reliability.

Payment use mainly affects users and infrastructure, while investment use introduces wider risks to lenders, borrowers, and protocol operators, heightening the chance of systemic contagion. When stablecoins are used in investment arrangements, the regulator must ensure they comply with securities laws.
