HRF’s Bitcoin Development Fund Supports 20 Projects Worldwide

The Human Rights Foundation (@npub17xvf4...) is pleased to announce 1 billion satoshis in grants from its Bitcoin Development Fund (BDF) (https://hrf.org/devfund). This round of grants supports projects advancing open-source development, censorship-resistant communications, mining decentralization, and financial privacy for the more than 5.9 billion people living under authoritarian regimes. Other grantee projects will improve the core protocol, pilot Bitcoin for dissident support, and provide community education programs across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. These efforts strengthen the global freedom technology ecosystem, helping dissidents, journalists, nonprofits, and everyday citizens to connect, organize, and achieve financial sovereignty in the face of repression.

HRF’s grantees for the third quarter of 2025 include:

Nymius
Bitcoin’s transparent ledger is essential to its design, but it also exposes dissidents to surveillance from authoritarian states seeking to monitor transactions and networks. Silent Payments enables individuals to receive Bitcoin through unique, one-time addresses derived from a static public key, but its effectiveness depends on wallet adoption. Nymius, a @npub13dk3d... contributor, will integrate Silent Payments into the BDK. With this grant, dozens of wallets and applications built with the BDK will be able to offer users greater financial privacy.

Daniela Brozzoni
Bitcoin nodes (computers running the Bitcoin software) reveal user metadata when connecting with one another. This opens the door for regimes or hackers to track or isolate activists and dissidents running Bitcoin nodes. Nostr:@npub1yrvgh... is a Bitcoin Core developer who has been researching this vulnerability and publishing mitigation proposals to counter the tactics. With this grant, she will gather community feedback and implement fixes to make the network safer.

Build on Bitcoin (BOB) Buidlers Residency
Every day, users often find freedom technologies difficult to use, which limits their accessibility and impact. @npub1vlkx3... in Bangkok has supported three cohorts of free and open-source developers to advance Bitcoin’s privacy, decentralization, and mining. With HRF’s funding, a fourth cohort of four developers will improve usability across Bitcoin, Lightning, nostr, and ecash, making freedom tech more accessible to those who need it most.

2140 Foundation
Bitcoin developers, especially those in autocratic countries, often struggle with burnout, isolation, and a lack of incentives to complete long-term projects. The 2140 Foundation (https://2140.dev/), founded by open-source developers Josie Baker and Ruben Somsen, is a co-working space in Amsterdam that provides mentorship, collaboration, and employment to global contributors advancing Bitcoin’s long-term security, resilience, and scalability. With HRF funding, the foundation will support the work of developers from authoritarian states to strengthen Bitcoin as a human rights tool.

Cashu for Community Sovereignty
In many parts of Latin America, governments restrict financial flows by blocking payments, freezing accounts, and, at times, disrupting internet access. Cashu for Community Sovereignty, founded by @npub1f0rte..., addresses this with ecash, which enables quick and private payments that even work offline. The initiative will train 10 communities in authoritarian environments to deploy Cashu mints and Lightning Network nodes. With this funding, communities facing repression will develop a stronger infrastructure for financial freedom.

Bhartiya Bitcoin
As India advances a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and financially represses political opposition, Bitcoin offers a path to financial freedom. However, education is often inaccessible to non-English speakers. Bhartiya Bitcoin produces free, culturally relevant Bitcoin content in Hindi, Marwari, Sindhi, and Assamese. With HRF support, Bhartiya Bitcoin will expand into Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, and Malayalam to make Bitcoin more accessible to the more than 1.4 billion people living under increasingly autocratic rule in India.

Bitcoin Education for Lebanon’s Liberty & Empowerment (BELLE)
In Lebanon, a collapsing currency, banking restrictions, and asset confiscations have stripped people of financial stability. The Lebanese Institute for Market Studies (https://limslb.com/?lang=en) is launching BELLE, a project to teach political activists and youth to use Bitcoin to preserve their purchasing power. With HRF support, BELLE will provide Arabic-language workshops, educational videos, and media outreach to strengthen individuals' ability to resist financial repression and secure their financial futures.

Bitcoin Arusha
Tanzania’s government restricts the use of foreign currency and limits dissidents’ banking access, while the local currency depreciates, leaving many citizens trapped in a cycle of poverty. To alleviate this, @npub1uhplu... provides culturally rooted, Swahili-language Bitcoin education in northern Tanzania through music, dance, and events. HRF support will strengthen Bitcoin Arusha’s resilience and empower communities through economic opportunities.

Bitcoin for Fairness
Human rights defenders and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) often lack the knowledge to use Bitcoin to bypass repressive financial restrictions. @npub1fqqtc... is an educational initiative that disseminates Bitcoin knowledge to the global majority. In 2026, BFF will focus its initiatives in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Zambia – countries scarred by currency crises and periods of one-party rule – and deliver workshops, micro-seed funding, mentorship, and educator training. With HRF funding, BFF will empower activists and civic organizations in Southern Africa with censorship-resistant, permissionless financial tools.

Exile Hub
Burma’s military junta uses financial repression, exile, and imprisonment to crush peaceful resistance. Exile Hub’s Bitcoin for Exiles (https://www.exilehub.org/) initiative will pilot a Bitcoin-based financial autonomy program designed to meet the needs of Burma’s democratic movement. With HRF support, the program will offer training, privacy-focused toolkits, and workshops to equip dissidents within Burma and in exile with the tools to survive, organize, and resist the junta’s financial repression.

Pluto Mining
Today, most Bitcoin mining hardware relies on closed-source software that can expose user data and create dependence on third parties. Pluto Mining (https://www.plutomining.io/) is the first open-source mining fleet management platform that gives miners control over their operations without third-party dependence. With HRF support, Pluto will empower individuals in repressive environments to mine Bitcoin privately, independently, and securely, further decentralizing the Bitcoin network.

WantClue
Bitcoin mining is dominated by industrial operations that use proprietary hardware and software. Over time, this could put Bitcoin’s decentralization and accessibility at risk. Bitaxe (https://bitaxe.org/) counters this trend by providing an affordable and open-source miner for individuals. Nostr:@npub1vwf2m... maintains the Bitaxe firmware and produces educational content that makes mining more accessible to dissidents and individuals in closed societies. With HRF support, WantClue will strengthen mining decentralization and expand access to self-sovereign financial infrastructure for those under repression.

Peter Tyonum
Developers in adverse political and economic environments need accessible and secure wallet software infrastructure to build freedom tools. Developer @npub1a6vft... contributes to the @npub13dk3d... , which abstracts wallet software into usable plug-and-play components and makes it easier for developers to create censorship-resistant tools. With this grant, Tyonum will continue to help developers worldwide create accessible, permissionless Bitcoin applications.

BitScript
An inclusive developer base is essential to Bitcoin’s long-term decentralization. BitScript (https://www.bitscript.app/), a free, open-source Bitcoin developer education program, trains developers in authoritarian and inflationary environments across Latin America and Africa to build protocol-level freedom technologies. Global development helps ensure that Bitcoin serves as a lifeline for people facing repression. HRF’s grant will help BitScript democratize protocol knowledge to ensure the network reflects global needs.

Code Orange Dev School
Many regions lack the technical education to build, maintain, and use Bitcoin. To address this, the @npub1gxqye... in Indonesia teaches developers and individuals across Asia to contribute to open-source Bitcoin projects, run nodes, and use privacy-enhancing tools like ecash, fedimint, and nostr. HRF’s support will help equip communities with tools to resist authoritarianism.

Demo Lab
As authoritarian governments in Latin America tighten their grip on financial and political power, there is an urgent need for civic and financial education. Demo Lab’s @npub17j8zm... introduces Bitcoin as a tool for financial independence and teaches practical skills for saving and transacting securely. Through this grant, the Freedom Academy will prepare the next generation of Latin Americans to defend democracy and achieve economic sovereignty.

Nostr under Autocracy
In Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro's brutal dictatorship restricts traditional communication channels, prevents journalists from exposing the regime’s brutality, and financially suppresses civil society. Nostr under Autocracy, led by democracy activist Jesús González (https://x.com/jesusgonzalezs?lang=en), will train Venezuelan activists and human rights defenders to use the open-source nostr protocol for private, censorship-resistant communication and payments. With HRF support, this project will help Venezuelan dissidents speak freely online and build movements to resist Maduro’s digital and financial repression.

KernelKind
Dictators restrict communication, manipulate online content, and restrict dissidents’ financial access to silence dissent. @npub1fgz3p... is contributing to Notedeck a Nostr browser created by Damus that makes it easier to build censorship-resistant apps with integrated Bitcoin payments. Its first app, Columns, introduces modular feeds and a marketplace for user-controlled algorithms, while Dmail will enable private, decentralized messaging with email interoperability. With this grant, Notedeck will continue to merge censorship-resistant communication with financial freedom and foster an ecosystem of apps for dissident communications and transactions.

Eric Holguin
Many people living under authoritarian regimes face censorship, Internet shutdowns, and frozen bank accounts that cut them off from communication and commerce. Nostr developer @npub12gyrp... is working to build censorship-resistant apps with integrated Bitcoin payments by contributing to Damus and Nostr projects that empower individuals to communicate and transact without centralized control. With this grant, he will continue expanding free speech and financial freedom tools for people resisting repression worldwide.

Craig Warmke and Troy Cross
As authoritarian regimes expand financial surveillance and roll out central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), many people remain dangerously unaware of their risks to individual liberties. Transactional Freedom, a forthcoming book co-written by philosophers @npub10afr0... and @npub1n3sjl..., makes the moral and legal case for recognizing a universal and constitutional right to transact. With HRF support, Warmke and Cross will examine financial repression in authoritarian regimes and its impact on human rights, activism, and financial freedom.

As a grant maker at @HRF's Bitcoin Development Fund, few things frustrate me more than copycat ideas—projects that look exactly like something we’ve already funded, just transplanted to a different location.



Over the years from my time @CcHUB, I’ve listened to thousands of pitches, and I’ve developed a kind of sixth sense for sniffing out what’s truly original versus what’s just a repackaged version of an existing idea.

So, how do I separate the game-changers from the "me-too" projects? Here’s what goes through my mind (sometimes subconsciously) when evaluating a pitch:

1. The Person Behind the Idea
Who’s driving this? What’s their story, their values, their integrity? A founder’s authenticity and commitment often determine whether a project will succeed or flop. I pay attention not just to what’s said, but also to what’s not said—the nuances matter.

2. The "Why" Behind the Project
Why did the founder choose this problem? The more personal the connection to the issue, the more convinced I am that they’ll stick with it when things get tough. Passion rooted in lived experience beats a generic "I saw a gap in the market" or “It came to me in the shower” every time.

3. The Solution (and Whether It Actually Solves the Problem)
This might sound obvious, but so many solutions are built before the problem is fully understood. I look for ideas that directly address a well-researched, validated need—and a clear theory of change that explains how the solution tackles the problem. No hand-waving, just logic.

4. Progress Made So Far
What have you done with little or no funding? If my grant is the only thing standing between your idea and oblivion, that’s a red flag. I love seeing scrappy, resourceful founders who’ve already made headway—it tells me they’re in it for the long haul.

5. The Right Founder for the Right Audience
Do you really know the people you’re serving? And are you the best person to serve them? If your answer is "this project is for everyone," I’m probably not interested. Impact is about depth, not breadth.

6. A Vision for Success (and Obsolescence)
How will the world be different if you succeed? And—just as important—what’s your plan to not be needed forever? The best solutions aim to solve a problem so thoroughly that they eventually work themselves out of a job.

Of course, these aren’t hard-and-fast rules, and sometimes great projects slip through the cracks. But with limited time and funding, I’d rather bet on ideas that check these boxes—because they’re the ones most likely to create real, lasting change.

What do you think? What’s your approach to spotting original (and fundable) ideas?

Day 6 - Walking Away Was Satoshi's Genius Move
https://typeshare.co/femilonge/posts/day-6-walking-away-was-satoshis-genius-move

Picture this...
Imagine a startup founder building a company poised to become a unicorn, then suddenly walking away—leaving all control, shares, and rights to the community. That’s exactly what Satoshi Nakamoto did with #Bitcoin, and it’s the key to Bitcoin’s genius.

A simple act that made all the difference...
Satoshi didn’t just create a groundbreaking digital currency—he removed himself from it, ensuring Bitcoin’s true decentralization. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, where founders hold power or influence, Satoshi’s decision to step away made Bitcoin a currency that belongs to no one and everyone.

Centralization kills money...

Money is a unique public good. It’s something society collectively agrees to use as a representation of value. Our blood, sweat, time, and effort is captured in the value of our money.

Historically, we’ve given governments the power to create and issue money, but this has often led to misuse. Central banks print money excessively, diluting its worth, and ultimately reducing the value of our collective time and effort.

On the other hand, transferring control over money creation to private companies is equally risky. Corporations, driven by profit, can compromise the public good in their pursuit of shareholder gains. We’ve seen this with social media and big tech platforms, where profit motives often lead to exploitative practices.

Centralized control—whether governmental or corporate—isn’t the answer.

A truly decentralized form of money...
This is where Bitcoin stands out.

It is decentralized, peer-to-peer, and immune to both government and corporate control. It has been algorithmically designed with a hard cap of 21 million - no more, no less. No single entity can manipulate Bitcoin’s supply or use it for political or financial power.

By stepping away, Satoshi Nakamoto ensured Bitcoin remains for the people, governed by its community and network, rather than any central authority, not even the currency's creator.

In a world where the management of money has often been flawed, Bitcoin offers a new, decentralized approach—one that’s transparent, secure, and ultimately belongs to everyone.

That’s the true genius of Satoshi Nakamoto.

Day 5 - What's this Bitcoin thing & why does it matter? https://typeshare.co/femilonge/posts/day-5-whats-this-bitcoin-thing-and-why-does-it-matter

As the Global Bitcoin Lead on the Financial Freedom team at the @npub17xvf4..., I’m deeply immersed in the world of Bitcoin.

Just #Bitcoin. Not blockchain, crypto, Web3, or DeFi.

Why Bitcoin and Not the Others?

You might be wondering, “What’s the difference between Bitcoin and all those other terms?” Well, there’s a huge difference, both in spirit & implementation.

In future posts, I’ll dig into that, but for now, I’ve chosen to focus narrowly on Bitcoin. Honestly, it’s enough to keep me busy for a lifetime! Why go searching for what’s not lost (and yes, please read that last part with a Yoruba accent)?

What Bitcoin Really Is

Bitcoin is a decentralized, permissionless, censorship-resistant, open-source, peer-to-peer system of electronic cash.

It was created by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, who didn’t just build it—he handed it over to the community and walked away over a decade ago. By removing himself from the picture, Satoshi ensured Bitcoin’s true decentralization.

Only 21 million Bitcoin will ever exist, with new ones mined approximately every 10 minutes by a global network of computers solving complex mathematical problems. Each Bitcoin can be broken down into 100 million satoshis, and you can send or receive the smallest fractions across the world with ease.

Why I’m Excited About Bitcoin

Most people focus on Bitcoin’s price in relation to fiat currencies like USD, Euro, or Pounds. But for me, the real excitement lies in its ability to transfer value globally without needing a third party like a bank or Visa/Mastercard.

As an African, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges of trading with neighbors using foreign currencies like the USD. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is neutral—it’s not controlled by any one country, it can’t be printed excessively, and central banks can’t devalue it.

No one can block my access to send or receive Bitcoin, no matter where I am in the world.

And perhaps most importantly, there’s no central team that can suddenly steal everything and disappear into the sunset. Bitcoin’s design makes that impossible.

What’s Next for Bitcoin?

We’re still in the early days of Bitcoin, and some of the smartest minds are working on improving the network and addressing real-world challenges using it.

I’m grateful to be part of this journey, especially when it comes to empowering human rights activists and everyday people fighting to hold governments accountable.

I’m here for the long haul, and I’m excited to see where Bitcoin takes us next.

Day 4 - My Journey Into Bitcoin: How It All Began


About 2.5 years ago, I embarked on a transformative journey into the world of Bitcoin, and it all started with a simple conversation.

The Spark: A Recommendation Request

I was asked to recommend someone to run operations for Qala, a new program designed to train African software engineers for careers in Bitcoin development.

Up until that moment, I only knew of Bitcoin as a digital currency and investment asset but had no idea about the technology or the community of developers behind it.

The recommendation request triggered my curiosity. After all, how could I recommend someone for something I didn’t fully understand?

Little did I know that this would be the beginning of an exciting journey down the Bitcoin rabbit hole.

A New Realization

I began by downloading The Bitcoin Standard and diving into a few blogs.

The more I read, the more I realized just how vast and revolutionary the Bitcoin ecosystem really was.

It is not just a digital asset; it is an alternative to our broken global monetary system, a system I believed is responsible for many of the challenges facing my beloved Africa.

Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto's peer-to-peer electronic cash system, offers a way out. But for Africa to benefit, we have to engage this new technology as producers, not just consumers—unlike how we have engaged previous waves of technology.

Qala was aiming to equip Africans with the skills to become value creators in the Bitcoin space, but it needed the right leadership and guidance.

Perfect Alignment: My Background in Learning and Development

Having recently stepped away from day-to-day operations at CcHub, I had completed a research-based Master’s in Learning Science at the Paris University School of Interdisciplinary Research. My research & thesis focused on what motivates young adults in Africa to engage in informal learning.

This new Bitcoin program aligned perfectly with my interests in African development, capacity building and education. It wasn’t just a good fit; it felt like a calling.

Taking the Leap

So, instead of recommending someone else for the job, I offered myself… and I got it!

Day 3 - Teach, Repeat, Grow: How Teaching Transforms Your Own Learning (https://typeshare.co/femilonge/posts/day-3-teach-repeat-grow-how-teaching-transforms-your-own-learning)



One of the mantras I live by is, “You develop best when you are developing others.”

I deeply believe that teaching others is the most powerful way to deepen your understanding of any subject. This belief has guided me throughout my life and eventually led me to pursue an MSc in EdTech/Learning Science.

Teaching not only benefits those you’re sharing knowledge with, but it also accelerates your own learning and growth.

Here are some reasons why I find teaching as such a transformative practice:

1. Teaching forces you to learn the subject more deeply.
When you teach something, you can’t just gloss over the basics—you need to know the topic inside and out. Preparing to teach others pushes you to dig deeper into the material, helping you discover nuances and details you might not have noticed before. It challenges you to not only understand but also explain concepts in a way that others can grasp. In the process, you gain a richer and more thorough understanding of your subject.

2. Repetition makes knowledge stick.
One of the best ways to make knowledge stick is through repetition, and teaching gives you plenty of opportunities for that. Every time you explain a concept to someone else, you’re reinforcing that knowledge in your own mind. The more you teach, the more ingrained that information becomes, solidifying it in your long-term memory.

3. Answering questions helps you explore new angles.
Students often ask questions that make you think about your subject in new ways. Sometimes their questions lead you to ideas or areas you hadn’t considered before. This back-and-forth exchange not only keeps the material fresh but also expands your own understanding as you explore different aspects of the topic.

Remember, teaching isn’t just about passing on knowledge. It’s about reinforcing your own understanding, deepening your expertise, and continuously learning from the people you’re teaching.

So, if you know something worth sharing, don’t hesitate—start teaching!

Day 2: Unlocking Clarity - 3 Simple Questions to Kick Off Any Design Process

Are you about to start a project but feeling unsure where to begin?



Whenever I start any design process—whether it’s for life, business, a conference, a product, a social service, or even a learning experience—there are three key questions I always ask myself.

These questions help me get my bearings, like figuring out where I am before I begin the journey toward the change I want to make.

Here are the questions:

1. What outcome am I designing for?
We don’t design just for the sake of it. The whole point of designing is to bring something specific to life, a particular goal or vision. You likely have a clear picture in your mind of what that looks like, but it’s important to say it out loud or write it down. Why? Because defining the outcome not only helps you clarify exactly what you’re aiming for, but it also creates something concrete that you can share with others who might join you in the design process.

2. What resources do we have for the design?
Every design is built from the resources available to you. This could be physical objects, people, locations, funds—whatever you can pull from. Think of it like cooking a meal. You need to know what ingredients you already have and what you might need to go out and get. By identifying your resources upfront, you can figure out whether your design is realistic and start planning any necessary prep work before diving in.

3. What constraints do we need to consider?
Constraints are the real-world factors you have to account for. What limitations or requirements must your design meet to work in the context you’re designing for? For example, are there age restrictions, legal requirements, or specific needs of the people you’re designing for? Constraints help you understand the boundaries your design will need to function within.

So, as you get ready to create something new and bring about the change you’re passionate about, remember to ask yourself these three questions. They’ll help you stay grounded and clear before you make your first move.

May the force be with you!

Day 1: Why I'm Starting To Write Online
By Femi Longe

Writing and consistently publishing content online is something I’ve always wanted to do, but I’ve failed at it time and time again.

To finally break this cycle, I’ve signed up for a 30-day daily publishing challenge.

Here’s why I’m doing this:

1️⃣ Connecting the Dots:

My career has taken me in many different directions, and along the way, I’ve gone deep into a variety of subjects. One of my strengths is connecting the dots between seemingly unrelated ideas to uncover new insights. I believe these insights could be helpful to others, and the thought that my perspective could help someone crack a problem they’re struggling with right now motivates me to share them.

2️⃣ Leaving Something Behind:

I’m only here for a limited time. My thoughts, experiences, and lessons learned are my chance to leave a legacy. If I don’t put my words out there, they disappear with me, and that would be a shame.

3️⃣ Reaching More People:

I often get asked to mentor people, and while I enjoy those one-on-one conversations, writing gives me the opportunity to share my insights with a much wider audience. It’s not about replacing personal connections—it’s about amplifying my reach and being able to offer value to more people at once.

🌟 Over the next 30 days, I’ll be writing about personal development, social change, design, and Bitcoin.

I’m excited to embark on this journey—and I invite you to follow along! Feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts along the way.

Let’s do this! 🚀

God, forgive me for the times my words have brought hurt rather than hope. I want my words to represent You and to build others up. Let my tongue be quick to give grace, encouragement, and healing. May I speak words that bring life—not only to others, but also to myself. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
