What we do
We focus on making it easy, efficient, and enjoyable for our community members to move the digital asset industry forward.
Governance
We facilitate ongoing governance processes for open-source software, maintain open forums for community discussion, and provide leadership and guidance to support decentralized decision-making.
Research & Development
We support independent researchers, contributors, and collaborators, often through grants, with key projects aimed at building a more secure, equitable internet.

Education
We produce and support educational programs, events, and resources to new and developers, allowing them to contribute to a more equitable and secure internet built on Bitcoin and its burgeoning ecosystem of layers and tooling.
