Joseph Henshaw is the founder of Pevra , a blockchain-powered telecom identity platform built on Base chain that permanently mints phone numbers on-chain, solving the number recycling crisis destroying innocent lives across Nigeria and the African diaspora.
This blog is where the research lives. Every market trend, every data point, every structural problem worth understanding in the blockchain, telecom, and African fintech space, documented here before it becomes a product decision.
I writes at the intersection of three things most people keep separate: market intelligence, infrastructure thinking, and the realities of building in Africa. If you are an investor, a builder, or someone paying attention to where Africa’s digital economy is heading, this is the right place to be.
