[Africa Free Routing ⚡ @FreeRoutingAf]

2026 has been a year of proof of work for Africa Free Routing. 🚨

Over the past eight months, developers across Africa have been learning, building and shipping with Bitcoin through our Lightning Developer Bootcamps.

8 bootcamp locations. 10+ cities reached. 200+ developers trained.

From Cape Town and Johannesburg to Kampala, Ouagadougou, Bujumbura, Kisumu and Addis Ababa, developers have run nodes, written code, built Lightning applications, contributed to open source and presented working projects.

The impact has gone beyond the numbers.

🇿🇦 BitDevs Cape Town was established after the Cape Town bootcamp.

🇿🇦 Johannesburg marked our 10th bootcamp milestone, with developers travelling across borders from Mozambique using Bitcoin.

🇺🇬 Kampala saw the launch of the first Bitcoin Club at Makerere University, while a solo female developer placed 2nd in the hackathon.

🇧🇫 Developers in Ouagadougou built and presented Lightning projects.

🇧🇮 Bujumbura reached full capacity, with participants building working Lightning projects.

🇰🇪 Kisumu became our largest bootcamp yet, with ~99 participants, 16 teams and 1 solo builder presenting 17 projects after an overnight build.

🇪🇹 Addis Ababa brought further cross-border participation, including developers from Kisumu.

And the work continues.

Alongside the bootcamps, we launched the Bitcoin Payment Integration Masterclass, helping businesses learn how to integrate Lightning payments into their existing products and platforms.

Some graduates have gone on to contribute to established Bitcoin organisations. Others are building products of their own.

This week, Africa Free Routing is in Kigali, Rwanda, training the next generation of African Lightning developers. 🇷🇼

The work continues. The builders keep building.

Proof of work. Across Africa.

🟥 URGENT: Critical vulnerability in Core Lightning

Blockstream developers urge users to shut down CLN Lightning nodes right NOW!

Please let everyone know!

[Lightning Labs⚡️🌐 @lightning]

What if adding Bitcoin and Lightning payments to your app was actually... easy? 👀

Wavelength makes it happen. Self-custodial payments where users always hold their keys, with no node or liquidity management required. From consumer apps to AI agent payments, Wavelength is how Bitcoin and Lightning come to life in your app.

The cohort is getting deeper into building Bitcoin transactions.

Sessions 7 and 8 of Rust for Bitcoin 2.0 focused on Bitcoin Transaction Construction, taking participants from understanding the building blocks of a transaction to creating and working with them in practice.

With @damola21mm guiding the sessions, participants explored Bitcoin addresses, scripts, raw bytes, custom transactions, transaction signing, WIF, and P2PKH.

The learning moved beyond theory through hands on exercises, where participants constructed, signed, and broadcast custom transactions on Regtest, while working through practical examples to strengthen their understanding of how Bitcoin transactions are structured and created.

Two sessions of deeper technical work, stronger understanding, and more hands-on experience with Bitcoin.

You can now spend bitcoin on @UseKesh.

Deposit onchain or over Lightning, then pay any till, paybill, pochi or bank account in Kenya. Zero fees.

Available on Android today. iOS coming very soon.

Bitcoin is ₿etter.

[Pull @pullosdev]

It’s Monday.

What are you building this week?

Remember, it doesn’t have to be big.
It doesn’t have to be perfect.

Just build something.

The cohort went deeper into Bitcoin transactions. ⚡

Session 6 of Rust for Bitcoin 2.0 focused on Bitcoin Transaction Parsing & Decoding, with @200OKDeveloper guiding participants through the next layer of working with Bitcoin transaction data.

Building on the previous session, participants explored transaction inputs and outputs, TXIDs, transaction amounts, little endian byte ordering, VarInt encoding, and SegWit witness data.

The session also moved into practice as participants parsed raw transaction hexadecimal and continued building and testing their own Bitcoin transaction decoder using Rust.

Another practical step forward as the cohort strengthens its understanding of how Bitcoin transactions work at the byte level.

Wavelength is the easiest way to integrate bitcoin. No liquidity to manage. No infrastructure to run. Just a simple Lightning API/SDK.

Built for humans and agents. Transactions are instant and low fee. Users hold their own funds.

Watch and learn more about how Wavelength works. 〰️⚡

[DADA DEVS @DadaDevs]

Writing code is only one part of being a strong developer. The ability to read and understand existing code, trace how systems work, identify patterns, and learn from other developers’ implementations is just as important.

For Bitcoin developers especially, this means spending time with protocols, codebases, documentation, and contributions from the wider ecosystem.

How much time do you spend reading code compared to writing it?

What’s your take on this unpopular opinion?

@AbhiCodes15 If you didn’t know how to code and hired a developer to build a product for you, would you say you built it?

[Pull @pullosdev]

Monday reminder:

Stop waiting to feel ready.

Find something to contribute to.

Start small. Start today.

@Rajatsoni Doesn’t really matter, bitcoin is for everyone

[Pull @pullosdev]

Got some time this weekend?

Go find a Bitcoin open source project on Pull

Don’t worry about making a huge contribution.

Read the code. Open an issue. Fix a typo. Improve the docs.

Start somewhere.
