Description
The Grants program supplies structured funding for critical open-source technology development and select educational efforts. The Residents program works much like an EIR program and supplies experts for the ecosystem in high-impact areas.
We support community development around the world by funding and supporting grassroots community events, facilitating local grants and partnerships, hosting industry conferences, moderating digital community channels, and more.
From Clarity Camp to the Mintery, we make sure builders and creators get the skills they need through educational programs. We also identify, vet, and educate services providers so they can serve builders in the ecosystem.
We support new research and development, both for technical upgrades and governance proposals. Through support of upgrade proposal processes and the Governance Working Group, we ensure that major technology decisions are made in a decentralized and community-oriented manner.
We build relationships and support technical integrations with a range of valuable players including exchanges, infrastructure providers, auditors, agencies, custody solutions, market makers, bounty programs, wallets, NPOs, and more.
We work to build a resource hub to connect resources and talent. This includes technical support for grantees, PR support for founders, partnership introductions, legal resources, listing guidance, amplification of Bitcoin-centric companies, and more.
