On-Chain Commerce: Enabling Africa’s Smallest Businesses through Kotlin, Blockchain & AI

Africa’s micro-businesses are rich in potential but often left behind in the digital economy. In this talk, I’ll share how we’re using Kotlin Multiplatform, Jetpack Compose, and open-source tools to help small vendors digitally ID their products and services on-chain, while leveraging AI for better decision-making, from inventory forecasting to customer engagement. This isn’t just theory, I’ll walk through real use cases from our Payble platform, how we’re simplifying decentralized commerce, and empowering small businesses with the same tech advantages as larger enterprises.
