BitDevs Cape Town

We’re excited to announce the Q2, 2026 Btrust Developer Grant recipients. 🚀 Seven Bitcoin open-source developers were awarded grants last quarter, including three starter grant recipients and four long-term open-source cohort members. This cohort continues our mission to decentralize Bitcoin open-source development by supporting talented contributors from the Global Majority. Their work spans wallet infrastructure, @bitcoincoreorg testing, developer tools, privacy-preserving payments, peer-to-peer exchange infrastructure, cryptography, and user-facing bitcoin applications. The quarter also marked an important first for us: for the first time, we supported a grantee working on peer-to-peer exchange infrastructure.
