After multiple delays and speculation, it could finally be coming in April: the long-awaited “Africa Special”. As Charles Hoskinson, the inventor of Cardano, revealed in an AMA yesterday, the world’s largest deployment of blockchain in Ethiopia could soon become a reality.

In early February, John O’Connor, Director of African Operations at Hoskinson’s company Input Output Global (IOG), announced that they are in the final stages of a government contract in Ethiopia to bring several million users onto the Cardano blockchain. Originally, a major, official announcement was to be made on this back in March. However, unforeseen, bureaucratic developments had slowed down the launch.
