More than a year after our first Bitcoin Dev Launchpad cohort, the paths are clearer.
Alumni are now working across Bitcoin open source through independent grants, full-time engineering roles, and long-term contributions.
Here’s where BDL1 took them ↓

Our residency is underway. 25 students are going through the in-person phase of our Bitcoin Developer Launchpad, and over these days we’re diving deep into secp, mining, taproot channels, fuzzing, monitoring, Bitcoin Core coding exercises, IPC, Utreexo & SwiftSync, PGP and web of trust, the four generations of Ark design, and Warnet’s Battle of Galen Erso, with sessions led by @edil_medeiros, @plebhash, @pins_btc, @brrrunog, @0xB10C, @danielabrozzoni, Sjors Provoost, @Erik17192799, @jaoNoctus and @stevenroose.
We’re also running PR Review Clubs on Core and BDK with @brrrunog and @_oleonardolima, while participants present 15-minute talks on topics like MuSig2, cluster mempool, silent payments, BIP 324, libbitcoinkernel and mevpool. On top of that, there’s a TABConf-style capture-the-flag challenge by @jaoNoctus and a very challenging multisig signet + p2p + mining exercise by Matthew Zipkin.
We’re sharing two days with @libdesatoshi so both residencies can interact, and we’ll wrap everything up next week at @btcplusplus Exploits Edition, which we’re co-hosting and sponsoring. Looking forward to the results.
That was fun! We saw our residents going overnight trying to crack the cashu challenge (take a look @callebtc) or trying to sign a musig2 tx.
H/t to @jaonoctus for his brilliant challenge! @miketwenty1 are you proud of your padawan?
We’re launching the new Floresta website and visual identity.
Floresta is a lightweight and embeddable Bitcoin client, designed to be easy to run, easy to integrate, and flexible for developers.
This post marks a new chapter for the project. 🌱

Gotta believe cross-chain swaps powering the p2p, unassailable value exchange online revolution to new nation-state busting highs, y'all. https://t.co/KUzrmFvLTU
