This week I built I had the privilege of attending a small meetup at Mount Kenya University, where I introduced students to blockchain technology, Ethereum, and Base. During the session, I explained how Base is addressing the challenge of high gas fees and empowering builders to bring more people on-chain. I'm thrilled to share that I successfully onboarded 8–10 students and helped them secure their Base names. Looking forward to our next session! The photos have poor visibility though 🥲

This week I built: I realized there was a lot I hadn’t fully grasped about Base, so I focused on exploring smart wallets and Base Names to find the best integration use cases for Elements Pay. Deployed an onramp smart contract for Elements Pay on Base Sepolia: Contract address: 0x8698be57c454b71e86258fabb56b10facbb2a859 Invited @emmanuelhaggai on base-build to share his awesome builds 🌍 I also had the fantastic opportunity to meet @jessepollak and @nataliegolub in Nairobi, where we discussed some of the unique challenges we face as African builders working on-chain. Huge thanks to @sir-damilare and @defidevrel for the invite Overall, it was a "Basesome" week packed with research, building, and valuable insights!

This Week on Base This week, I focused on several key activities: Onboarding New Builders: I helped onboard @mtsumijr onto Farcaster, introducing him to on-chain development and exploring the opportunities available as a blockchain builder. Debugging Frontend Integration for Elements Pay Onramp: Collaborated with @mtsumijr and @bivvon to debug the frontend integration of Elements Pay’s onramp. We successfully implemented the "create order" functionality but encountered some challenges with smart wallet integration and bundling, which we’re actively working to resolve. Improving User Experience: Worked on refining the app’s UX, with plans to implement these updates in the production environment soon. GitHub Repository: https://github.com/element-pay/element Live Demo: https://element-sooty.vercel.app/ — Feel free to test and share any feedback. We're open to suggestions on areas to improve!

This week on base, I hosted @sir-damilare on a Google Meet for my fellow students at Mount Kenya University. We explored Base and the exciting opportunities available on Base Chain. I also discussed Base Build and Earn for builders, as well as the ongoing Africa Buildthon. The meeting was a success, with over 35 attendees. Excited to bring more people onto the chain!
