OKX ORIZON- MOUNT KENYA UNIVERSITY

​OKX ORIZON – Mount Kenya University Edition

​Web3 Education & Digital Financial Literacy Forum

​The global financial and technological landscape is undergoing significant transformation through blockchain technology and decentralized systems. As industries continue to digitize, it is increasingly important for university students to understand the foundations of these emerging systems.

​OKX ORIZON – Mount Kenya University Edition is an educational forum designed to introduce students to blockchain technology, digital assets, and modern financial infrastructure in a structured and accessible way.

​This session will focus on foundational questions such as:

​What is Blockchain?

​• Understanding distributed ledger technology
• How decentralization differs from traditional centralized systems
• Transparency, immutability, and trust in digital systems
• Real-world applications beyond cryptocurrency

​What Are Coins and Tokens?

​• The difference between native blockchain assets (coins) and application-based assets (tokens)
• Utility tokens vs. governance tokens
• How digital assets derive value
• Use cases within decentralized ecosystems

​How Does a Digital Asset Exchange Work?

​• The role of exchanges in the digital economy
• Order matching systems and liquidity
• Peer-to-peer systems
• Basic market structure and price discovery
• Security and risk awareness

​Financial Literacy in the Age of Blockchain

​• Understanding digital markets responsibly
• Risk management fundamentals
• Avoiding misinformation and hype
• The importance of informed participation

​The objective of this event is to equip students with knowledge — not speculation. By breaking down complex terminology into understandable concepts, the forum seeks to bridge the gap between emerging technology and practical understanding.

​Participants will engage in guided discussions, structured learning sessions, and interactive activities that encourage critical thinking and curiosity.

​This event is open to students from all faculties — whether studying business, technology, economics, media, or other disciplines — who are interested in understanding how blockchain technology intersects with finance, innovation, and the future of the internet.
