Emmanuel Itakpe, chief operating officer at Mavapay, joins the #BtrustDeveloperDay speaker lineup with a session on Mavapay & BTCPay Server.

Emmanuel’s work focuses on building Bitcoin-powered payment systems that serve real people and businesses across Africa.

Through Mavapay, he and his team are integrating Lightning Network technology into existing payment rails to enable instant transactions across African currencies, transforming how merchants, SMEs, and enterprises connect payments from in-person sales to online stores.

His journey into Bitcoin development began with the Btrust Builders program in 2022, followed by the Bitcoin Dev Program from Chaincode Labs, where he built tools and resources to help developers navigate Bitcoin’s architecture.

Emmanuel’s philosophy, show, not tell, reflects his commitment to demonstrating how decentralized technology can empower Africans economically.

In his session, Emmanuel will explore why Africa needs Bitcoin, how integration with established systems unlocks new possibilities, and the future of decentralized, lightning-fast payment networks on the continent.

Learn how practical Bitcoin innovation is reshaping commerce and financial inclusion for Africans, by Africans.
