For many developers, the first step into Bitcoin open source is often a meetup, workshop, hackathon, conference talk, or technical session.

These events create entry points for curious developers, connect new builders with mentors and peers, and give contributors a platform to share their work and find collaborators.

We’re excited to announce the first batch of 2026 Btrust event grant recipients. 🚀

This round, we are supporting eight events:
• @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town 2026
• @Africa Free Routing Lightning Developer Bootcamps
• @btcplusplus Nairobi & Seoul 2026
• Code & Chain Senegal by Bitnob
• The Genesis Workshop by OSGuild
• Dakar Bitcoin Days IV
• DevFest Kaduna 2026
