From #Nairobi to #Maputo, our Empowa team is on the move across southern Africa 🌍 One meeting after another, packed days, but that's exactly how we like it. What's going on? We can't share the details yet, until everything is finalized, we're keeping this one close to the chest. What we can say: the conversations are going well, and today we sat down with quite a few interesting partners and stakeholders. Look closely at the photos and you might already spot a hint of where this is heading 👀 More soon, once we're able to share. 😜

Kenya is growing. Housing should too. Affordable finance is the missing piece, and innovative solutions can change that. 🏡 #Empowa

🚨 Not a "Nice to Have" It’s a MUST Have. 🚨 Let’s talk real for a second: Keeping your crypto on exchanges or hot wallets (browser extensions/mobile apps) is like leaving your house keys in the front door. If it’s connected to the internet, it’s vulnerable. A Hardware Wallet isn’t a luxury accessory or a "nice to have" for when your portfolio gets bigger. It is a need to have from day one. Total Control: If you don't own your private keys, you don't own your crypto. 📱 Keystone Wallet - A premier, 100% air-gapped hardware wallet featuring a large touchscreen and QR-code verification for ultimate isolation from the internet. 🌐 Ledger Wallet - The most widely used, time-tested hardware wallet with a massive ecosystem and support for thousands of assets. Your keys, your crypto.

🏡 Francisco came back to Mozambique after studying abroad and hit a wall: a rental market with no future in it. Then he found Casa Real's rent-to-own program at Vila Real. Now he's building toward his own home. ✨ Hear his story 👇 #blockchaininnovation #affortablehousing

As per our previous post: nitter.cf/secondfiapp/status/206… We have identified the root cause and have since rolled out a patch for all unaffected wallets. This will allow us to resume normal operations soon. ----- Regarding affected wallets, 4 distinct draining events occurred. 3 were executed by external threat actors, resulting in a loss of ~16m ADA across 374 addresses. To prevent total loss during the active exploit, emergency rescue measures were triggered to secure the available ~129m ADA and continues to be routed to an independent, qualified third-party custodian, where they are held securely for the benefit of the affected wallet addresses. An external accounting firm has been engaged for a special audit to independently verify those holdings. We are working to facilitate the verification process so users can claim back their assets safely. Affected users should submit their claim at support.secondfi.io We take this incident seriously and are working to ensure all assets are returned to affected users as soon as possible. As stated, we have identified the root cause, it is at the address level. Please DO NOT RESTORE your recovery phrase into another Cardano wallet, this does not mitigate the security risk. The security risk occurs when an affected user signs a transaction. Further explanation to follow.
To provide more clarity, we have identified the nature of the incident, it is at the address level. The security risk affects wallet users when a transaction is signed. Therefore recovery to another platform or wallet does not mitigate the risk. 🚨 DO NOT restore your recovery phrase into a new Cardano wallet. We have isolated the affected wallets and will post mitigation steps shortly.

Every Web3 project needs to treat its venture like a Web2 business with Web3 solutions. Projects that don’t will eventually succumb to the same fate as TapTools. Shoutout to projects like Iagon, Strike, Empowa & Surf for choosing external revenue over anything else 🫡
Trust in infrastructure isn’t claimed. It’s built. The Iagon® name and logo are now officially registered trademarks in the United States🇺🇸. As Iagon continues expanding enterprise-grade decentralized cloud infrastructure globally, protecting the brand across key markets is part of the same long-term commitment that drives our technology, partnerships, and growth.

Some of the most meaningful Web3 infrastructure in Africa may emerge around things people already struggle to access. Housing is a good example. A lot of RWA conversations stay centered on financial products: tokenized funds, treasury exposure, institutional yield. But projects like @empowa_io push the idea into something much more tangible. They’re exploring how Web3-based financing can support affordable housing development in markets where traditional mortgage systems leave many people out. That changes how the technology feels. It stops being about digital assets and starts becoming a question of access: who gets to participate in systems that shape daily life? What makes this interesting is that the value is immediate. Nobody needs to understand tokenization to care about owning a home, accessing financing, or living in better infrastructure. Some of the strongest blockchain use cases may come from solving local structural gaps people already live with, quietly improving access without making the technology the center of the experience.

While Cardano is nearing the end of an historic decentralized governance battle, the UN Habitat visited one of Empowa's building sites in Beira. The amazing work of Empowa & Casa Real is slowly gaining global recognition... this is the way @empowa_io

My favorite is @empowa_io because Empowa_io is a Cardano-powered project focused on helping solve housing shortages through real-world asset financing. It's a great example of blockchain technology being used for social impact, not just speculation 🏘️🚀

Empowa deserves a lot more attention, particularly around the NSE platform - the first Cardano project to be integrated with a stock exchange, bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain.

This is how real adoption happens, not just through tokens, but through building financial infrastructure that can unlock opportunities for millions. Mozambique is quietly entering the conversation. 🇲🇿🏗️
