ABOUT AKOIN
YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS ARE EVERYWHERE, NOW, WITH AKOIN, THEY HAVE BOTH A CURRENCY AND A PLATFORM TO HELP THEM MAKE POSITIVE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACT.
TURNING MUSIC INTO ENERGY, INTO CURRENCY, INTO OPPORTUNITY
Akoin was created by Grammy-nominated, ulti-platinum selling artist, producer, entrepreneur and philanthropist Akon, who successfully founded and grew Akon Lighting Africa to provide scaled solar power solutions throughout 18 African countries.
THE AKOIN ECOSYSTEM
AKOIN IS THE EXCLUSIVE CURRENCY OF THE AKOIN ECOSYSTEM
The Akoin Ecosystem unlocks the potential of the world's largest emerging economy through the creation of a trusted cryptocurrency with a vision to stimulate and innovate, revenue-generating opportunities that support and empower youth entrepreneurship, economic stability, and growth across Africa and the world.
WHY IS THIS NEEDED NOW?
The African continent has 15% of the world’s population. It is the most valuable region in the world in terms of under and aboveground resources. It has 8% of world’s natural gas reserves: 45 countries on the continent have oil reserves. It has 57% of the world’s cobalt, 47% of its diamonds, 49% of its manganese, 31% of its phosphate and 21% of its gold. Moreover, the continent has a tremendous potential for hydroelectric power, solar energy and geothermal energy.
By this reckoning, the African continent should be the realm of the richest countries and people. However, the truth is the exact opposite. Africa is the least developed continent in the world, having 34 of the 49 poorest countries. More than 40% of its population live on less than one dollar a day. Furthermore, Africa suffers from civil wars and terrorism.
