Lagos will on October 30, 2025, host the Onchain Festival, a groundbreaking convergence of technology, policy, and culture expected to draw over 1,000 participants to The Dome, Lekki.

Organised by BChain Africa under the leadership of its Chief Executive Officer, Femi Adegolu, the festival aims to provide a platform for founders, creatives, corporate leaders, policymakers, regulators, and private sector players to engage on the future of Nigeria’s digital economy.

Strategic Partnerships

The festival enjoys strong backing from major players across the blockchain and Web2 ecosystem. Supporters include BASE and Lisk in the Layer2 and blockchain space; Uglycash, Onboard, and cNGN (Nigeria’s first Naira-pegged stablecoin) in payments; and infrastructure firms such as Shugamine Ltd (Bitcoin mining) and Opolo Global Innovation.

On the finance and institutional front, the Bank of Industry and Peer Capital are lending their weight, while organisations such as Power Learn Project, JobRed, and Agile Sync are leading education and talent development efforts.

According to organisers, these alliances not only underscore the event’s commercial relevance but also create avenues for long-term cross-sector collaboration.

Government Endorsement

The festival’s credibility has been further boosted by the support of the Lagos State Employment Trust Fund (LSETF), which organisers say signals a growing alignment between public institutions and private innovators in driving Nigeria’s digital transformation.

Speakers and Sessions

A line-up of prominent speakers will headline the event, including:

Timi Agama, Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Nigeria.

A Representative of the U.S. Mission Nigeria.

Paul Onwuanibe, CEO of Landmark.

Fisayo Fosudo, content creator and YouTuber.

Chinonso Egemba (Aproko Doctor), Co-Founder of AWADOC.

Ugochukwu Aronu, CEO of Asset Chain.

Chidubem Emelumadu, Lisk.

Kshitij Sainani, CEO of LearnStar.

Ifeoluwa Martins, Lagos Innovates (LSETF).

Alongside other innovators such as Ogedegbe Uyoyo (cNGN), Chisom Felix, and Charles Avis (FusePay).

Organisers said the sessions will deliver actionable insights for builders, investors, creators, and regulators navigating Africa’s rapidly evolving tech landscape.

Community Support

Grassroots organisations including WomenInDeFi, Web3 Nigeria, Web3Afrika, ChainPal, and SYNCTHESIS are also lending community-driven momentum to the festival.

Tickets and Participation

Tickets are currently available via Gruve Tickets and tix.africa, with organisers encouraging early registration.

“The Onchain Festival is not just a blockchain event but Nigeria’s definitive platform where technology, culture, policy, and capital converge to shape Africa’s digital frontier,” said Adegolu.
