A community-led blockchain project that combines artificial intelligence and decentralized sharing to solve real-world problems is set to launch in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
This initiative, supported by EL-HAKAVOD Consulting in partnership with TAGET, is built on the Solana blockchain and seeks to shift cryptocurrency use from speculation to social impact.
According to organizers, the platform will enable communities to submit issues such as lack of safe water, poor healthcare, educational gaps or social injustice, while artificial intelligence tools verify claims and blockchain technology ensures transparency.
“We are not building another meme coin or speculative asset; this project is about using digital assets to solve real problems. Anyone from any part of the world can submit a challenge, and the solution process will be traceable on the blockchain.” said Imoh Austin, Principal Consultant at EL-HAKAVOD Consulting.
According to him, to ensure widespread participation, 55 percent of the project’s supply of 1 billion tokens has been allocated to the community, saying that token holders will be able to participate, entitle and earn up to 16 percent of annual returns while voting on governance decisions.
“We want ownership to be collective from day one, with no hidden wallets or tampering. Every vote, task and transaction will be open on the blockchain.” Austin explained.
“The project introduces a dual treasury system, a critical treasury for funding humanitarian and community projects, and an operational treasury for ecosystem development, partnerships and innovation.
This structure ensures sustainability and prevents mismanagement. “We designed it so that impact and growth go hand in hand without conflict,” Austin explained.
He likened the platform to a decentralized version of crowdfunding systems like GoFundMe but with stronger accountability. “People know about GoFundMe,” but this takes it further. With AI verification and blockchain records, no one can fake an issue or steal funds. You can track every coin from donation to delivery.
Austin, who spoke at length about digital literacy in Akwa Ibom, said education was part of the project’s mission. “I’m not comfortable with the level of digital awareness in our state,” he said. “Many people don’t even understand what a cryptocurrency or blockchain is. That’s why we’re not just launching a coin; we’re launching an educational movement.”
He revealed that the organization holds seminars and training courses on cryptocurrencies to demystify blockchain technology for young people.
“We know that there is confusion between Ponzi schemes, Forex and Blockchain, and that Blockchain is not Forex. It is a decentralized system where assets are traceable, transparent and protected from manipulation.”
Regarding concerns about fraud, he said the technology itself enhances transparency. “In blockchain technology, every transaction can be traced. No one can hide anything,” he said. “Fraud is everywhere, even in government, but this platform is designed to detect and prevent it.”
Austin also revealed that the team registered the project as a limited liability company and secured partnerships, including a tech skills center in Akwa Ibom, where youth will be trained in blockchain and artificial intelligence. “We want to train at least 1,000 young people in decentralized finance in the next five years,” he said.
He also hinted at collaborating with local government officials to empower unemployed graduates and equip them with digital skills. “Enough of seeing graduates in betting shops,” he said. “If they understand this system, they can legally create value and earn from the blockchain.”
Regarding the project’s financial prospects, Austin said early adopters of the project would benefit. “People ask: What will I gain?” The truth is that cryptocurrency has changed people’s lives globally. If they come early and understand the system, they can solve personal financial problems. He warned that this is not a get-rich-quick scheme.
He stressed that the project is based on legitimacy and international standards. “We are launching the Solana blockchain project, which is an internationally recognized network,” he said. “You can check it out on CoinMarketCap, and we’re on Facebook, X space, and Telegram as a community token. It’s not hidden.
“The public launch and official name unveiling will take place on Sunday, at Café One, Oron Road, Uyo. Stakeholders, technology enthusiasts, community leaders and young innovators are expected to attend.
“This is an opportunity for Akwa Ibom to be part of something global. The world is moving towards digital finance and decentralized systems. We don’t want to be left behind.” He confirmed
