Btrust will now be publicly publishing annual reports on all our activities and grants to the public.

Huge thank you to the Btrust team for an incredible 2024! ❤️

TL;DR From training the first female African Bitcoin Core contributor to hosting our first Developer Day, 2024 was a landmark year in decentralizing Bitcoin open-source development in the Global South.

Here’s some of what we achieved:

• Graduated 17 developers from our Btrust Builders Cohort 3, focusing solely on open-source Bitcoin development
• Supported 11 developers through grants; 5 now working on long-term projects like Bitcoin Core, BTCPay Server and Lightning Dev Kit (LDK)
• Expanded BitDevs meetups to 5 African cities: Kaduna, Abuja, Lagos, Nairobi & Accra
• Held the Annual Btrust Gathering to plan for 2025
• Hosted the first Developer Day in Nairobi: 250+ attendees

The grind continues in 2025 🔥
