Monica Technologies Is Sponsoring Unchain Summer 2026 and Lagos Is About to Experience Something Different
Football, A major conference plus an exclusive after event. Three days, two communities and one platform bringing it all together. Unchain Summer 2026 is almost here.
There are events that stick to one lane and there are events that understand something more fundamental about how communities actually work, that the best conversations do not always happen in conference rooms, that the people building the future of finance and technology are the same people who want to kick a ball on a Sunday morning and connect over something human before they connect over something professional, and Unchain Summer 2026, in partnership with The North Star, has built its entire three-day programme around exactly that understanding.
Monica Technologies is proud to be a sponsor of Unchain Summer 2026, an event that does something genuinely different from the standard fintech and crypto conference format, by bringing together the forex and crypto communities not just for panels and presentations but for football, for conversation, for the kind of networking that happens when the walls of a formal event come down and people simply spend time together in the same space with the same interests and the same curiosity about where the industry is heading.
The programme runs across three days and three very different experiences.
It opens on Sunday August 2 at HereL Play, 14 Ojomu Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, with a football tournament at 10am, and the choice to begin with sport rather than speeches says everything about what Unchain Summer is trying to build, a community first and a conference second, where engineers, developers, innovators, technologists and forex and crypto professionals meet each other on a pitch before they meet each other in a boardroom, and the conversations that begin on that field carry a different energy into everything that follows.
The main conference follows on Wednesday August 5 at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos, from 10am, where the industry’s sharpest minds in technology, financial innovation, blockchain development and digital assets come together for keynote sessions, panel discussions and the kind of high-level conversations about the future of crypto and forex in Africa that shape where the ecosystem goes next, and Monica will be in that room, present as a sponsor and as a platform that has been quietly building the infrastructure these conversations are about, a fast, simple and reliable crypto-to-naira conversion platform that has processed over ₦100 billion in transactions for everyday Nigerians.
The three days close on Thursday August 6 with an exclusive after event at an undisclosed location, the kind of intimate gathering that tends to produce the most interesting conversations of any multi-day programme, away from the stage and the formal agenda, with the people who showed up for all three days and have earned their place in the room where the real ideas get exchanged.
What makes Unchain Summer worth attending is the deliberate collision of two communities that have historically operated in parallel without enough overlap, the forex trading community and the crypto community, both navigating Africa’s financial landscape with different tools, different vocabularies and different risk profiles but ultimately working toward the same goal, which is finding smarter, faster and more reliable ways to move and grow money in a continent where the traditional financial system has consistently underserved the people who need it most.
Monica lives at the intersection of those two worlds, a platform where crypto converts to naira in seconds, where bills get paid without the friction, where financial tools work the way they should for everyday Nigerians, and sponsoring Unchain Summer is Monica choosing to be present in the rooms where the people building that future are gathering.
