Building Bitcoin solutions for Africa, led by African women. #DadaDevs #BuildForAfrica #Bitcoin

[DADA DEVS @DadaDevs]

What does it look like when African women are given the environment, support, and opportunity to build?

Saturday marked the grand finale of the DadaHub Residency Program with Pitch Day, a session where participants presented the products and solutions they had spent the last four weeks building.

Unlike our regular learning sessions, this one carried a different kind of energy. The Dadas were no longer just learning concepts or exploring ideas. They were confidently presenting real projects, sharing their thought processes, and demonstrating solutions grounded in African realities.

Sometimes, the hardest part of building something new is believing it can exist in the first place.

Every founder starts with a problem they can’t ignore.
And somewhere between the uncertainty, the late nights, and the “will this even work?” moments… solutions begin to take shape.

That’s what DadaHub is becoming.

A space where African women are not just learning tech, but building ideas, tools, and infrastructure that speak to real African problems.

Because innovation becomes more powerful when the people closest to the problem are part of creating the solution.

If you’re interested in partnering with us or joining the next cohort of the DadaHub Residency, we’d love to hear from you.

Happy New Month, Builders

A new month means new things to learn, new ideas to explore, and new opportunities to build.

Whether you're making your first contribution, learning a new skill, attending a workshop, fixing bugs, or simply figuring things out one step at a time, every effort counts.

We're excited to continue creating spaces where more women can learn, collaborate, experiment, and grow within Bitcoin, open-source, and technology.

Cheers🥂 to another month of building, learning from one another, and becoming better than we were yesterday.

Day 8 of #Hack4Freedom Lagos with @marcelorraine – founder of @btc_dada & @DadaDevs

A masterclass on financial freedom, ownership, and why African women must build, not just use.

Key takeaways:
🔹 Financial freedom = ownership + dignity. It reduces domestic violence and builds generational wealth.
🔹 Shift from consumer to builder – contribute to Bitcoin infrastructure, don't just adopt it.
🔹 Only 3% of open source contributors are women. Yet 88% of African technical talent pipeline is female.

Don't just fill seats. Build the table. ⚡🧡

Bitcoin Designers Meetup, in collaboration with @bitdesigners is coming to Nairobi , here's what it looks like. 🇰🇪⚡

A space built for UI/UX and product designers, male and female, who believe Bitcoin's future is human as much as it is technical. And it needs designers to help shape it.

You can look forward to:

-Bitcoin & Open Source Talks:where design meets decentralisation
-Workshops: hands-on and practical
-Opportunities: real ones, for designers ready to step in

Never touched a Bitcoin product? Doesn't matter. Show up curious.

A huge thank you to @MouxDesign for thoughtfully guiding the participants through every stage of the pathway and creating such a practical, engaging learning experience throughout the cohort.

[DADA DEVS @DadaDevs]

Yesterday marked the final session of the UI/UX & AI Pathway and what a way to wrap up 4 weeks of learning, building, and experimentation.

In the final class, @MouxDesign took participants through how to build and ship an actual mobile application to the App Store using Claude Code and AI-assisted workflows.

From choosing templates and setting up environments, to building MVP screens and preparing apps for launch, the session showed just how much faster product development can become when research, design thinking, and AI work together.

One thing that stood out throughout the pathway was watching female developers and designers turn ideas into products people could actually interact with, test, and experience.

A strong finish to an incredibly thoughtful and hands-on pathway

“Satoshi is female” keeps sounding more believable every day 😭

Because whoever designed Bitcoin clearly understood how to think long-term, pay attention to tiny details, manage complexity, and build systems that keep running no matter what.

From nodes, to the mempool, to the way transactions move across the network, Bitcoin was built with an insane level of structure and intentionality.

And honestly… that kind of detailed coordination feels very familiar and feminine.

Nobody knows who Satoshi is.
But until proven otherwise, the women of DadaHub will continue defending the allegations. 👩🏽‍💻⚡

This is not a pity post. Just the reality of female developers working through painful cramps, random sweet cravings, and emotional damage every month, while still fixing bugs, pushing commits, debugging errors, and trying to meet deadlines 😭

One minute you’re quietly eating cake and trying to survive the cramps.

The next minute the pain hits harder and now you’re fighting for your life in front of your laptop!

To every woman coding through the discomfort every month, we see you.

Building traditional Web2 applications and building on Bitcoin are two very different things.

With Web2, developers mostly build platforms people use:
social apps, marketplaces, delivery systems, streaming platforms, dashboards. The focus is often on engagement, convenience, and keeping users inside ecosystems owned by companies.

But building on Bitcoin feels different because the stakes are different.

You are not just designing another app people scroll through for a few minutes a day. You are building tools around money, ownership, access, and freedom itself.

You are thinking about the street vendor receiving payments instantly without needing a bank.
The freelancer getting paid across borders without losing income to fees.
The family preserving value in unstable economies.
The young developer in Africa contributing to open financial infrastructure that anyone in the world can access.

Yes, there are Lightning integrations, wallets, and payment rails.
But underneath all of that is something much more human:
people trying to participate in the global economy with dignity, control, and fewer barriers.

Building on Bitcoin requires developers to think differently:
about trust, privacy, resilience, security, and systems that remain accessible even when institutions fail people.

And as Bitcoin adoption continues to grow globally, African developers should not be left out of shaping the future of these systems.

Ps: Cohort 5 of Dada Devs is almost here. You can join the waitlist with this link: https://t.co/twJhGv5b9k

Something unprecedented is coming to Nairobi.

For the very first time, the Bitcoin Designers Meetup lands on Kenyan soil.

This is the beginning of something profound: a dedicated space where UI/UX and product designers come together around one powerful question — what does Bitcoin look like when it's truly designed for people?

Brought to life through a collaboration between Dada Devs and @bitdesigners , this meetup is a signal that African designers don't just belong in the Bitcoin conversation, they should be shaping it.

Expect raw, honest conversations. Hands-on workshops. The kind of creative collision that only happens when curious, talented people share a room.

Because the future of Bitcoin isn't just technical, it's human. And it needs designers who think that way.

We're proud to highlight two incredible self-directed projects from our Dada Devs Peer Leads and Developers in the 2026 BOSS Challenge!

@Su_Githaiga built a Lightning fee-bumping service that tackles one of the most frustrating pain points in the Lightning Network — stuck commitment transactions. Her tool leverages anchor outputs and CPFP (Child-Pays-For-Parent) to get those transactions confirmed, bringing real utility to everyday Lightning users.

@Its_nkathake created Know Your Coin History, a transaction graph explorer that lets you trace the full ancestry of your Bitcoin coins. From recursive UTXO tracing and wallet fingerprinting heuristics to BIP-329 label exports — all running against your own local Bitcoin Core node or Electrum server — it's a powerful tool for privacy-conscious Bitcoiners.

Two projects. Two builders. Both solving real problems in the Bitcoin ecosystem. 💡

Give them a follow and check out their work!

When your students understand the assignment 🔥

Thank you @MouxDesign for yesterday’s session.

From fintech to healthcare to pet-care platforms, participants came back with thoughtfully designed applications tackling real-life problems — and the most exciting part? Many of the UI/UX flows and screens were built and refined with AI.

The session was highly interactive, full of feedback, questions, iteration, and conversations around what makes products not just functional — but usable.

Now that we’re approaching the final session, one thing is already clear:
people are no longer just thinking about ideas… they’re thinking deeply about users.

The UI/UX & AI Pathway has been an incredibly rewarding experience so far.

Saturday, the 16th, will be a day to remember. 🧡

We celebrated our fourth year anniversary, graduated Cohort 9 & 10 of Bitcoin Dada and Cohort 3 of @DadaDevs — and without even fully realizing it at the time, we convened 102 women in one room for what is probably the first physical Bitcoin event in Africa attended entirely by women.

And that alone is history!!

[DADA DEVS @DadaDevs]

One of the biggest challenges in AI adoption across Africa is not just access to technology — it is understanding how to communicate with the technology itself.

For many people, AI tools still feel intimidating because interacting with computers has traditionally required technical knowledge, structured logic, or developer-level understanding. Even with modern AI systems that use everyday language, there is still a gap between what humans mean and how machines interpret instructions.

This becomes even more complicated in African contexts, where language, culture, local realities, and problem-solving approaches are often underrepresented in global technology systems.

These are some of the conversations we explored during the DadaHub Residency Program. Beyond learning AI tools, participants were challenged to think about how African women can build more accessible, localized, and practical solutions using AI and Bitcoin technologies for African realities.

Because the future of innovation in Africa should not only be imported. It should also be built by people who understand the context firsthand.

If you would love to be part of the next batch of African women building practical solutions with AI and Bitcoin, stay connected with DadaHub and watch out for the next residency announcement.
