🥷@craigraw just shipped Silent Payments receiving in Sparrow Wallet! One Bitcoin address. Reuse it forever. Zero privacy loss. This is one of the biggest privacy upgrades Bitcoin has had in years. Here's why it matters and what Silent Payments actually are. 🧵

We're proud to highlight two incredible self-directed projects from our Dada Devs Peer Leads and Developers in the 2026 BOSS Challenge! @Su_Githaiga built a Lightning fee-bumping service that tackles one of the most frustrating pain points in the Lightning Network — stuck commitment transactions. Her tool leverages anchor outputs and CPFP (Child-Pays-For-Parent) to get those transactions confirmed, bringing real utility to everyday Lightning users. GitHub Link: github.com/SusanGithaigaN… @Its_nkathake created Know Your Coin History, a transaction graph explorer that lets you trace the full ancestry of your Bitcoin coins. From recursive UTXO tracing and wallet fingerprinting heuristics to BIP-329 label exports — all running against your own local Bitcoin Core node or Electrum server — it's a powerful tool for privacy-conscious Bitcoiners. GitHub Link: github.com/nkatha23/knowy… Two projects. Two builders. Both solving real problems in the Bitcoin ecosystem. 💡 Give them a follow and check out their work! #BOSS #opensource #dadadevs

Thank you SO MUCH @marcelorraine @wandiology @Its_nkathake @WhatsHautewithH for giving your time, energy, and expertise to the @hack4_freedom girls 💘

The Q1 2026 Btrust Builders pathway cohorts have officially wrapped, and we couldn’t be more proud of everyone who showed up, put in the work, and came out the other side a stronger builder. Across two pathways, developers from 24 countries spent between 7 and 8 weeks going deeper into Bitcoin’s technical foundations. They worked through Bitcoin's technical infrastructure, from transaction creation and node management to open-source workflows and protocol-level concepts, building the kind of foundational knowledge that turns genuine curiosity into meaningful contribution. This cohort also made history: women represented 34% of the Mastering Bitcoin track, the highest we’ve seen so far. It’s a milestone that reflects our ongoing commitment to making Bitcoin development accessible, inclusive, and representative of the communities it’s meant to serve.

Africa's biggest Bitcoin event is here. If your brand isn't at the #bitcoinnairobiConference, you're missing the most important conversation about the future of money. We're bringing the builders, the pioneers, and the key industry players to the A.S.K Dome this June.

You cannot tell young people to start businesses while making permits, taxes, fuel, rent and compliance more expensive every year.

@btc_dada @DadaDevs Saturday was really one of the best days 😭❤️ You honestly had to be there to get it!! @btc_dada really gave me sisters for real 🫶🏽

Saturday, the 16th, will be a day to remember. 🧡 We celebrated our fourth year anniversary, graduated Cohort 9 & 10 of Bitcoin Dada and Cohort 3 of @DadaDevs — and without even fully realizing it at the time, we convened 102 women in one room for what is probably the first physical Bitcoin event in Africa attended entirely by women. And that alone is history!! 1/n

Celebrating 4 years of Bitcoin Dada⚡️sisterhood and growth 🌷 Grateful for this community, for every lesson, every connection, and every step, still showing up ✨ still growing.🤍 #SatoshiIsFemale #BitcoinDada #DadaDay #4yrsdada

@EmmanuelMacron , You stood in Nairobi in 2026, in a summit you convened hastily to salvage what remained of France’s African credibility after the continent’s most dignified populations had organised themselves with remarkable clarity and expelled your soldiers, your bases, and your flags from their soil, and you declared, before a room full of African heads of state who had the historical misfortune of sitting there in silence, that “ you are the true Pan-Africanist”. I have been trying, with genuine intellectual effort, to locate the precise category of moral and cognitive failure that produces a statement of that magnitude, delivered with that degree of composure, and I have concluded that it does not fit neatly into any existing taxonomy. It is its own species and it requires a name that has not yet been invented, something that sits at the precise intersection of historical illiteracy, institutional shamelessness, and the specific brand of civilisational arrogance that your republic has refined across five centuries into something almost indistinguishable from a natural disposition. Allow me to offer you what your education, expensive and celebrated as it undoubtedly was, clearly failed to provide: a history lesson. Pan-Africanism was not born in Paris. It was not theorised in the corridors of Sciences Po or the salons of the Fifth Republic. It was born in the holds of slave ships, in the plantation fields of Saint-Domingue in the exile of men and women whom your republic and its predecessors hunted, poisoned, shot, disappeared and buried in unmarked graves precisely because they had the temerity to believe that African and African-descended people deserved to govern themselves. Pan-Africanism is, at its most fundamental, the political philosophy that said no to everything France spent three centuries saying yes to: slavery, colonialism and noecolonialism.

4 years?? sheesh 😮‍🔥 Congratulations @btc_dada 🎉

A new and improved Tando is just around the corner! We've listened to all your amazing feedback and have been working on a refresh of your favorite bitcoin spending app. Here's a preview of what's to come and a call to any heroic Sats Spenders that want early access. 🧵👇

Our WCW today shines the spotlight on Susan and Mercy, contributing to real Bitcoin projects used around the world. @Su_Githaiga has been shipping thoughtful improvements across major open source projects—from enhancing UX on the Bitcoin Dev Project to improving consistency and functionality on the @BtcpayServer Plugin Builder. @junearsenic7 journey has taken her deeper into Bitcoin infrastructure. She contributed to the Bitcoin Core Fee Rate project and is actively participating in Bitcoin Core PR reviews as she continues to grow within the codebase. These are the contributions that make open source thrive—thoughtful, consistent, and community-driven. PAYING IT FORWARD Now serving as Peer Leads for Dada Devs Cohort 4, Susan and Mercy are mentoring the next generation and strengthening the ecosystem through leadership and shared knowledge. The ecosystem grows stronger when those who learn, turn around and lead. We celebrate you, Susan and Mercy. 🧡 #POW #Dadadevs #opensource #btcpayserver #bitcoincore #bitcoindev

🔥 Dada Devs - Mastering Bitcoin Pathway, Cohort 4 is now open! Three cohorts in, and the standard is already set. Dada Devs trains African female developers who want to understand Bitcoin at the protocol level and contribute where it counts, in code, in review, and in the open. Cohort 4 demands depth. Participants study Bitcoin’s architecture, engage in structured code review, and ship public contributions to the ecosystem. Bitcoin development is an upstream responsibility. If you are ready to take it seriously and earn your place in that process, apply. 📅 Duration: 8 Weeks 📍 Location : Virtual 🔗 Apply: forms.gle/Mw4D2HYAV7SWrX… Applications close Wednesday, 18 February 2026. Apply Now!! #DadaDevs #Bitcoin #BitcoinDevelopment #OpenSource

ATTENTION PLEASE‼️ Over the past months, we’ve been working intentionally on building real infrastructure for female developers in Bitcoin, not temporary programs, but dedicated infrastructure that provide tools, collaborative spaces and resources required to design, test, contribute to open source and bitcoin solutions with direct impact across Africa. From this vision comes Dada Hub, the first physical Bitcoin hub in Africa, designed for open-source development, technical learning, research, collaboration, and hands-on building. The hub will host developer meetups, study and working groups, mentorship, protocol education, and early-stage experimentation, all focused on creating practical, locally relevant, and globally impactful Bitcoin solutions. To bring Dada Hub to life, we are raising funds via @geyserfund . If you believe in building durable #Bitcoin infrastructure, supporting female developers, and creating Africa-focused solutions, you can donate any amount via the Geyser link or follow it to learn more about the project and our vision. geyser.fund/project/dada/?…

@btc_dada @DadaDevs A PHYSICAL DADA BITCOIN HUB?! 🔥 YESSS ×100!!!
