Rust for Bitcoin 2.0: From Learning to Contribution ⚡
Several weeks of technical sessions, two weeks of capstone development and open-source contributions wave. One Demo Day. And 22 merged pull requests.
Delivered in partnership with @btrustteam, Rust for Bitcoin 2.0 equipped developers with practical experience in Bitcoin development, from transaction construction and HD wallets to Bitcoin Core, Rust libraries, and Lightning Network workflows.
The Results
Participants have recorded 22 merged PRs, with several more open, across Bitcoin related projects including BDK, rust-payjoin, Floresta, rust-miniscript, rust-bitcoin, Bitcoin Core, and Lightning related repositories.
Capstone and Demo Day
The two week capstone challenged participants to apply their skills, move from concepts to implementation, and develop projects using what they had learned.
Demo Day brought this work into focus, giving participants the opportunity to showcase their projects and demonstrate their progress.
Many thanks to @btrustteam for their continued support in growing a strong pipeline of Bitcoin developers and open-source contributors, advancing the mission to decentralize Bitcoin development across Africa and the global ecosystem.
Congratulations to all participants, and special thanks to our tutors and mentors, @200OKDeveloper, @0xGideonBature, @Akshola00, @damola21mm, and @Johnsdanlami, for making this journey possible.
The learning continues through building. The contributions continue through open source.

Part of the journey is the end. ⚡
This Tuesday, Rust for Bitcoin 2.0 reaches its final milestone: Demo Day.
After weeks of intensive learning, hands on development, code reviews, and mentorship, participants will showcase the Bitcoin projects they’ve built and the skills they’ve developed throughout the program.
In partnership with @btrustteam, Rust for Bitcoin 2.0 bridges the gap between learning Rust and contributing to Bitcoin’s open source ecosystem, preparing developers to move beyond theory, engage with real codebases, and become active contributors to Bitcoin’s future.
Now, it’s time to put the work on display.
Real work start after the showcase.

My first open-source PR just got merged, and I'm genuinely happy!
Knowing that people out there can use code I wrote is such a beautiful feeling.
Sometimes, it's not just about getting paid. It's about making an impact.
Do you remember your first merged PR? 👀

The capstone phase of Rust for Bitcoin 2.0 is officially underway.
Participants are now moving from the concepts and skills developed throughout the program into building functional Bitcoin projects they can take beyond the cohort.
@Akshola00 kicked off the phase by taking participants through the project requirements, development process, and Demo Day expectations, while subsequent mentor sessions have provided feedback and technical support as projects begin to take shape.
The session also welcomed TheBuidl alumna and Bitcoin Rust Fellow, @naomi_nayy, who shared her experience and encouraged the cohort to stay resilient, focused, and determined.
Ideas are taking shape, projects are coming to life, and Demo Day is ahead.

Frontend Cohort Wrap Up!
The Frontend Development Cohort at TheBuidl Grid has officially wrapped up with final project presentations.
Participants showcased what they built, walking through their projects and demonstrating how they turned frontend concepts into functional, user focused products.
This is what TheBuidl is about: creating an environment where builders gain practical skills, work on real projects, collaborate, and turn learning into real-world solutions.
Cohort complete. Projects presented. Builders ready for what’s next. ⚡

Thank you @the_buidl for the opportunity
The second edition of Founders’ Fireside with @useblinkapp was an engaging conversation about building, collaboration, and what it really takes to turn an idea into a product.
@EbubeMonwe and @Jaykosai took us through their journey, sharing how they started, how they met through TheBuidl community, and how their collaboration became the foundation for Blink.
Today, Blink is making crypto payments easier for everyday transactions, allowing users to spend crypto at local merchants while merchants receive settlement in local currency, with Bluetooth removing the friction of wallet addresses and QR codes.
From meeting through the community to building together and taking Blink beyond it, this is exactly why we create spaces for builders to learn, connect, collaborate, and grow.
See you at the next edition!

For the past 3 months, I’ve been diving into Rust for Bitcoin.
I’ll be documenting my journey, sharing what I’ve learned, the challenges I’ve faced, and the projects I’ve built along the way.
Still learning. Still building.

From learning to contributing. ⚡
Sessions 15 & 16 of Rust for Bitcoin 2.0 focused on Open Source Development & Bitcoin Core Contribution, giving participants practical experience with the workflows behind contributing to open source Bitcoin projects.
With @0xGideonBature guiding the sessions, participants explored Git workflows, writing and reviewing PRs, reading BIPs, Bitcoin Core Review Club methodology, issue triaging, and open source etiquette.
The learning moved straight into practice as participants forked projects, reviewed PRs, opened issues, made project changes, and prepared and submitted their own PRs while following proper GitHub workflows.
Two sessions focused on turning development skills into practical open source contributions, giving participants a stronger foundation for collaborating, reviewing code, managing issues, and contributing to Bitcoin projects.
