Plebly is a public funding platform for Bitcoin protocol work, tooling, research, legal analysis, documentation, and related open problems all belong here.
Not every win inside the Tank comes with a cheque.
Being selected to pitch, having your project reviewed and facing questions from judges of this caliber is an achievement in itself. A true badge of honor. 🦡
Every challenge will sharpen the founders’ thinking. Every question will strengthen their projects. Every conversation will bring greater knowledge, clarity and vision.
Whatever the final verdict, they will leave the Tank stronger than they entered it.
Witness the journey live during the Cypher Tank recordings at https://t.co/tMldrDIXhf at the end of October.

At @LuganoPlanB, and on Monday I'm pitching @joinplebly as a finalist at Cypher Tank at https://t.co/aQgbArUr2A in Lugano. Plebly is non-custodial funding for Bitcoin bounties and projects. It uses multisig escrow, independent keyholders review and sign disbursements, and all of the code is open source. If you're in Lugano this weekend, find me and I'll walk you through it. #LuganoPlanB https://t.co/GN66MkjsDR

Without our beloved judges, the Honey Badgers, there would be no Cypher Tank. 🦡
As VCs, investors and entrepreneurs, they bring deep expertise, laser-focused vision and a truly low-time-preference mindset to the Tank.
Their judgment will be uncompromising yet principled. This year, the founders will need to sharpen their negotiation skills, defend their vision and convince the Honey Badgers one more time.
Will they succeed?
There’s only one way to find out. Join us at the end of October for the live recordings at https://t.co/tMldrDIXhf., the link for the ticket is here: https://t.co/uOvpAtMfP2 👀

AI is changing how Bitcoin software gets built.
Bitcoin Commons (@BTCCommons) and Plebly (@JoinPlebly) are leaning into that rather than pretending it is not happening.
The risk with AI-generated code is not obvious errors. It is subtle behavioral changes that pass code review but introduce vulnerabilities or alter consensus rules in ways no one catches until it is too late. Standard review is not equipped for that.
So we built BTCDecoded Intelligence, a research and review tool trained specifically on Bitcoin's protocol history, governance record, and codebase. It gives us automated review tuned to the actual failure modes of Bitcoin software rather than software in general.

WE’RE IN THE TANK. 🦡⚡
Plebly has been selected as a CypherTank 2026 finalist!
One of 8 finalists selected from 172 applications across 30+ countries.
We built Plebly around a simple idea:
Bitcoin fixed incentives for money.
We’re applying the same thinking to funding open-source development.
Now we get to take that idea into the Tank.
Thank you @cypher_tank, @mir_btc, @giacomozucco and the Plan ₿ team for selecting us.
See you in Lugano. 🦡⚡
Fund. Build. Ship. ₿
Cypher Tank has selected 8 finalists from 175 applications. But the Tank isn’t full yet. 👀
10 applicants will compete for 2 direct spots: one for a for-profit project and one for a non-profit project.
Thanks to an idea and the support of the Fondazione Lugano Plan ₿, an all-Italian semifinal will put the spotlight on the potential impact of these projects on Lugano’s Bitcoin ecosystem 🇮🇹🇨🇭
Who will earn their place in the finale?
Semifinalists, we’re waiting for you. As always, maximum respect. 🫡
