2025 was a defining year for Btrust.
After several years of experimentation and learning alongside communities, this year marked the beginning of a more structured phase focused on strengthening the systems that support Bitcoin open‑source developers across the Global Majority.
Here’s a look at what we built and learnt throughout the year: xitter.cf/i/status/2042276615846…

Bitcoin mining is often associated with specialized hardware, electricity consumption, and hashrate. Less visible is the software that keeps it running.
Behind the machines are protocols connecting miners to pools, applications distributing work, and tools for testing and monitoring these systems.
Our latest article explores where developers can contribute, from networking and backend applications to firmware and fleet management, with projects such as Stratum V2, Braidpool, Mujina, and Proto Fleet as starting points.
Interested in building beyond the hardware? Discover the software behind mining and where to begin.

As AI coding tools become more widely used, generating code that looks ready to merge is easier than ever: passing tests, a polished PR description, and a green CI run. But none of those guarantees correctness, and in Bitcoin, where mistakes can have irreversible consequences, that distinction matters.
At @btcplusplus, our Head of Engineering, @kelvinator05, discussed responsible AI use in Bitcoin open-source development; where it can help contributors, where it falls short, and why understanding and verifying the code you submit remains your responsibility.

This is a great step forward and will be a great environment for devs from the global majority to collaborate.
What goes into building a stronger Bitcoin ecosystem, beyond the code itself?
Our conversations with @StephTitcombe, @Murugi___ and @ihate1999 took us behind different parts of Btrust's work, from creating pathways for developers to grow, to communicating the work happening across the ecosystem and the vision guiding it all.
Each conversation offered a different perspective on what it takes to support the people building Bitcoin's future.
As we wrap up the first season of Btrust in Focus, take a look back at these final three episodes and catch up on all nine conversations on YouTube.

Over the past two editions, #BtrustDeveloperDay has brought together developers, designers, contributors, and builders from across the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Unfortunately, we won’t be hosting the event this year. We know many of you were looking forward to gathering again, and we’ll miss the opportunity to learn, connect, and build together.
We’re using this time to listen, reflect, and prepare for a bigger next chapter in 2027.
Thank you to everyone who has joined us, contributed, spoken, volunteered, and built alongside the community so far.
We can’t wait to welcome you back in 2027. More details are coming soon. Watch this space.

What does it mean to contribute to Bitcoin open-source projects in the age of AI?
AI can help developers investigate bugs, explore solutions, and write code. Turning that work into a useful contribution still requires technical judgement, testing, and an understanding of the project’s expectations.
Our latest article looks at where AI can help, how projects approach its use, and the responsibilities that remain with contributors.
