Network state as a human coordination layer has been with us before the emergence of the web3 industry but thanks to Vitalik Buterin and the Zuzalu community for bringing back this topic to the forefront. ZuAfrique will serve as that coordination layer for Africa.

human layer and value. I didn't fully grasp it at the time but it planted a seed that has taught me the meaning of love and gratitude in everything I do. Can't wait for Zuafrique 2.0.
