Description

The BDK Foundation promotes the common business interests of the Bitcoin software development industry by enhancing the capabilities of businesses, individuals, and organizations that build with Bitcoin technology. Its primary activity is stewardship of the free and open source Bitcoin Dev Kit (BDK) suite of libraries (Rust core with Swift, Kotlin, and Python bindings) and related training material, alongside developer mentoring forums, networking, and in-person talks and workshops. The Foundation independently raises funds to operate a grants program supporting full-time and project-based developers working on BDK and related projects (e.g. Rust, mobile/language bindings), and is supported by corporate members across Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Associate membership tiers. BDK is used by a wide range of wallets and infrastructure providers including AnchorWatch, Bitkey, mempool.space, Proton Wallet, Alby, Fedimint, and many others.
