Block, Inc, the global technology company with a focus on financial services, has announced the winners of the highly anticipated TBD Hackathon, a competition designed to foster innovation, creativity, and technological advancements in payments across Africa.

The competition, organized in partnership with the Africa Bitcoin Conference, tasked developers with creating innovative payment solutions using tbDEX, TBD’s open-source money protocol which includes the likes of Yellow Card and Chipper Cash as partners.

Hackathon participants addressed key challenges such as limited banking access, high transaction fees, and inefficient cross-border payments. Teams of 1-2 developers utilized the tbDEX SDK to create payment applications within a sandbox environment.
