Bitcoin owes much of its success to the hard work of the common man.
That's why we're launching Blockstream Local, a new initiative that gives meetups the resources and support they need to carry forward the legacy of grassroots Bitcoin education.
https://blog.blockstream.com/blockstream-local-meetup-support-and-grassroots-bitcoin-education/
By joining Blockstream Local, your Bitcoin meetup will receive curated education resources, early access to new Blockstream products, and the ability to create a revenue stream, all of which can significantly amplify impact in your local community. 
Most people receive hands-on experience through meetups and learn more technical topics like self-custody and node operation. Meetups are also ground zero for the Bitcoin circular economy, which is why the continued growth of meetup groups around the world is so important to us.
If you feel the same way, join us in shaping the future of Bitcoin—one community at a time.
Meetups can register today. 👇🤝

As Liquid's technical provider, Blockstream is committed to making it easier to build on Bitcoin's second layer.
These development efforts have culminated in the new Liquid Wallet Kit (LWK), a collection of Rust tools to build Liquid wallets. 🧵
https://blog.blockstream.com/lwk-liquid-wallett-kit/
LWK aims to provide all the necessary building blocks for developing Liquid wallet applications and simplifying the lives of developers by addressing common pain points of current tooling.
https://github.com/Blockstream/lwk
LWK leverages two recent innovations in the Liquid ecosystem: Liquid descriptors and PSETs.
We also focused on bindings for popular languages, including Python, Swift, and Kotlin, to ease mobile integration, and WebAssembly (Wasm), which even allows LWK to run in the browser!
Today, LWK allows you to easily enable features such as watch-only, HWW support, complex scripting, and more in your Liquid applications.
For instance, you can use LWK to create a multisig wallet with multiple Jade devices, and issue, reissue and burn assets with that wallet.
We have plans to improve the existing language bindings while adding support for more programming languages and hardware signers. However, some federation members have taken the initiative and already started the work - kudos to the Bull Bitcoin team!
https://github.com/SatoshiPortal/lwk-dart
LWK is a young library with an evolving interface that will be polished, improved, and extended in the coming months. We encourage developers to contribute to LWK, and reach out to us, on GitHub or the official Liquid Developer Telegram.
Finally, we'll host a demo of LWK this Thursday at 5 p.m. CET / 10 a.m. CDT on Build On L2. It's open to the public, and no sign-up is required. Come with questions and see you there!
As the Bitcoin halving draws near, competition intensifies, and bolstering the network's security becomes paramount. To join the ranks of funded Jade miner startups:
👥 Like & share this post on Nostr!
🔧 Pitch your Jade mining setup vision in the comments
👤 Tag 3 future Jade miners
We'll select two innovative proposals to receive the LBTC equivalent to 1 Jade miner each, kickstarting their operation with an additional 80K H/s.
Note: The odds of mining a block with Jade are extraordinarily low and you should not expect to earn any bitcoin. This feature is best for using Jade as a lottery miner, for educational purposes, or as a way to track the current bitcoin block height on your Jade. This feature can be accessed without initializing Jade and without accessing a wallet.
