Events and conferences are often the gateway into Bitcoin open‑source development, spaces where curious builders can connect, learn, and take their first steps toward meaningful contribution. They’re where discovery turns into collaboration, and collaboration into lasting impact.

That’s why we’re excited to present the recipients of our second round of 2025 Btrust event grants, supporting nine unique gatherings across Africa, Latin America, and beyond:

• Dev/Hack/Day at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r

• OSCAFEST 2025 by Open Source Community Africa

• Hack4Freedom by EVENTO

• DevFest Mauritius 2025 by GDG Mauritius

• Code & Chain: A Bitcoin Meetup by Bitnob

• Bitcoin CoreDev Meetup organized by Brink

• Bitcoin Dev Summit and Satsconf at the São Paulo Bitcoin Week

• DevFest Lagos 2025 by GDG Lagos

Each one is creating new entry points into the global Bitcoin developer ecosystem while strengthening the community in the Global South.

Event Grants help keep these gateways open and inclusive, feeding into the long‑term pipeline of developer education programs, fellowships, and open‑source contribution, ensuring Bitcoin development remains decentralized and globally distributed.
