AfriLeap gives 25,000 African students $200 to buy a laptop and begin their tech education. One wallet. One verification. Built on Solana.
Our commitment: $200 grants for real people across Africa.
To keep this grant program fair, every wallet must complete a one-time $1 verification before applying. We are not collecting this $1 to make a profit. We are collecting it because the maths shows that without it, automated bots and fake wallets will claim the funds and real applicants will get nothing.
Creating a crypto wallet costs $0. One person with a script can generate 100,000 wallets in under an hour.
The $1 acts as an economic filter. It doesn't stop everyone — it stops attacks from being profitable.
You send $1 from the exact wallet you want to receive the $200 grant. The payment links your wallet address to a verified application slot.
Our system detects that payment from your specific wallet address on the Solana blockchain. No manual review needed at this step.
Your wallet is now marked "Verified" and your application enters the review queue. One payment = one verified wallet = one application. Payments cannot be reused or shared.
Your wallet address is public by design. Your personal details are not. We do not want the responsibility of storing sensitive data.
$1 works the same for everyone in every African country. No one is excluded because of documentation requirements or ID formats.
A $1 crypto verification takes 30 seconds, any time of day. Manual ID checks take days and often fail. Solana transactions confirm in under a second.
We don't need to know who you are. We only need proof your wallet is controlled by a real person willing to verify. That's all the system requires.
Every $1 verification transaction is recorded on the Solana blockchain. Our receiving wallet address is public. You can verify every payment independently using any Solana block explorer.
Automated systems can create millions of free emails or social accounts. The cost to an attacker is near $0. $1 in SOL is 500× more expensive than those methods, which breaks the business model for fraud entirely.
We understand economic realities across the continent. The $1 filter exists to ensure the $200 grants reach people ready to use them. It keeps the program sustainable and fair for everyone else. $1 is the lowest threshold that meaningfully blocks automated attacks.
No. The $1 is an anti-fraud fee, not an application fee. It covers the cost of security and review for all applicants, whether selected or not. This is what allows us to run the program sustainably for 25,000 people.
Yes, but each wallet must complete its own $1 verification. The economics prevent abuse at scale — no one will spend $25,000 attacking the system — while still allowing people with separate projects to apply legitimately.
Any Solana-compatible wallet: Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, or any wallet that holds SOL. You can also paste your wallet address manually if you prefer not to connect directly.
Fill in your details below. After submitting you'll complete a secure one-time wallet verification — no more than $1 in SOL — to confirm your slot in the queue.
No forms. No documents. Connect your Solana wallet, pay $1 to verify, and your application enters the grant queue.
