On July 12th, 2025, the NOW Chain team took a bold new step — launching its very first Community Connect event in Benin, marking a historic milestone for our global Proof of Mobile mission.

Held in the heart of Abomey-Calavi, the event brought together builders, believers, and blockchain newcomers under one roof to explore how Web3 meets mobile-first validation — and how Benin can play a role in shaping this decentralized future.
