Aptos Foundation Partners with Jambo to Empower Emerging Markets through Web3

Aptos Foundation has joined forces with Jambo, a leader in connecting emerging markets to the digital economy. This collaboration is founded on a shared vision to harness Web3 technology's potential to empower individuals in developing economies across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. 

This partnership aims to significantly enhance Web3 accessibility and education in regions that stand to benefit most, by leveraging Aptos's innovative blockchain technology alongside Jambo's commitment to digital inclusion. Together, Aptos Foundation and Jambo will work toward removing barriers to digital participation and fostering a future where everyone, regardless of their geographic or economic status, can access and benefit from advancements in Web3.

At the heart of this collaboration is the introduction of the JamboPhone, an affordably priced smartphone designed to unlock the digital economy for users in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Priced at just $99 and already available in over 40 countries, the JamboPhone is more than a device; it's a bridge to the Aptos ecosystem, seamlessly integrated through pre-installed applications such as Petra, a leading Aptos-compatible wallet, and the Jambo App.

The Jambo App, a cornerstone of the JamboPhone experience, offers users a comprehensive introduction to Web3, with features and educational content tailored to the unique needs of emerging markets. It brings decentralized finance, gaming, and a suite of learning tools directly to users' fingertips, encouraging engagement and empowerment within the Web3 space. 

As we look to the future, the Aptos Foundation and Jambo partnership stands as a significant step towards realizing the potential of Web3 for global empowerment. By prioritizing accessibility and education, we aim to ensure that the benefits of technological advancement are accessible to all, paving the way for a more connected and empowered global community.
