“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.”

We are proud to announce Rust for Bitcoin 2.0, sponsored by @btrustteam 🧡
We are aligned with Btrust's mission to decentralize Bitcoin development globally. This collaboration reflects our shared conviction that the next generation of Bitcoin open-source contributors will emerge from Africa and the Global South.
This program is a deliberate, structured pathway into Bitcoin open-source development for experienced developers who are ready to move beyond isolated learning and start building what matters. If you are serious about Rust and serious about Bitcoin, this cohort is built for you.
What sets this cohort apart is the quality of the experience:
- Real Bitcoin and Lightning node access through Bitrpc, our open-source RPC infrastructure built for developers who want to work with live on-chain data.
- A modular, open-licensed curriculum with dedicated maintainers and CI workflows, so everything built during the cohort outlasts it.
- Structured peer reviews modeled after Bitcoin Core review standards, preparing graduates to contribute confidently to upstream OSS projects.
- Formal post-graduation tracking to measure outcomes, not just completion.
In our first edition, dev participants shipped production-grade wallets, block explorers, script interpreters, and Lightning tooling, all open-source and verifiable on GitHub. Cohort 2 raises the bar further.
Applications are open. Limited spots available

Oyindamola is a software engineer based in Kaduna, Nigeria.
He was part of the inaugural @btrust_builders Rust for Bitcoiners 🦀 pathway, where he deepened his understanding of Rust and Bitcoin development, and graduated as the top student.
He has since become an active contributor to privacy-focused Bitcoin tools, especially Rust-Payjoin and related Payjoin projects.
@bitcoinzaddy's contributions have included privacy-safe logging, code audits, spendable coin checks, documentation improvements, and work on simulations for multiparty Payjoin.
With the starter grant, Oyindamola will focus on advancing multiparty Payjoin research and implementation.
Beyond code, Oyindamola co-hosts @BitDevsKaduna 🇳🇬 and has supported local bitcoin education efforts, including mentoring and judging at the @hack4_freedom hackathon in Kaduna.

Cohort 9 Application is now Live!
Applications are now open for the 9th cohort of our Blockchain Development Bootcamp!
Join our vibrant community of builders! Whether you're transitioning into blockchain or just getting started, this cohort is designed to take you from the fundamentals to becoming production ready.
Level up from developer to Web3 architect. Our bootcamp takes you beyond basic smart contracts to master first principles, audit-ready engineering, gas-optimized scalability, and open-source contributions while building real-world Web3 products
Hands-on. Project-based. Built for those ready to ship.
⏳ Limited slots available
everyone is winding down…
Here is my two cents..
- newbies are cooked only the smartest and ones with ability to adapt will survive
- A lot of existing Srs will switch careers
- Hacks will keep spiking up( which is partially good for us to stay in business)
I think we are about to witness another revolution of the security space. And lots of persons will give up and be filtered out..
But hey what do i know :)
We are glad to be recognized by Hashed Emergent as part of the engines powering Nigeria’s Web3 ecosystem.
At TheBuidl, our work has always been centered on building real builders through focused learning tracks in Web3 where community members are not just learning but actively solving problems within the space.
What makes this journey even more meaningful is seeing our alumni go on to do remarkable things across the ecosystem, contributing to projects, startups, and communities that are shaping the future of Web3 in Africa and beyond.
Through our launchpad, we have supported products built by community members that are solving real-life problems, turning ideas into usable solutions that create real impact. This has been strengthened by our commitment to open-source collaboration, strategic partnerships, and creating access to opportunities and jobs within the ecosystem.
This momentum is exactly what we’re bringing into the Global Traction Startup Summit happening on Wednesday, 29 April 2026 here at TheBuidl Grid. Where builders, founders, and innovators come together to scale ideas into real-world impact.
We are just getting started.
Be part of what’s next.

April Bitcoin Developer Meetup 🚀
This April’s Bitcoin Developer Meetup is a hands-on live-action role play (LARP) where you become part of the network—users, miners, and nodes—simulating real transaction flow, consensus, and how Bitcoin actually works under the hood.
There are mentors… and then there’s @Pelz_Dev 🔥
A mentor who doesn’t just show up with knowledge, but with discipline, in and out of the classroom. (Those biceps 💪 are all the proof you need 😂)
Thank you for pouring into the students with your time, insight, and real value. We’re truly grateful 🙌
