Donate

For Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, and other related free and open-source software to thrive, we believe it takes contributors from a variety of backgrounds spread across the globe.

Organizations like ours are necessary to organize fundraising, talent seeking, and funding allocation. Our work is possible due to donations we receive from individuals and companies interested in bringing more engineers to work in the Bitcoin space, decentralizing the talent pool, and ensuring that Bitcoin will continuously be improved and that tools to make it more accessible will be developed.
