Great explanation for the value of @ChaincodeLabs' ₿OSS Challenge We need more developers working on bitcoin.

As Charles Dickens once said, “This is a three-month educational program that helps people get into bitcoin development full-time. It starts with education, introduces challenges, and then, if you excel, @ChaincodeLabs will help you find a job in bitcoin. It kicks ass, man.”

Meet @BeulahEvanjalin , 2025 ₿OSS alumni 👋 A math and cryptography enthusiast, Beulah participated in 2025 ₿OSS challenge, where she contributed to Bitcoin secp library and FROST. Now funded by @secondhq , She is working on nested MuSig2 to enable more flexible, secure, and private Bitcoin multisig.

Y'all Make 2026 the year you get more technical with Bitcoin. If you've been thinking about working in the Bitcoin industry, set a New Year's goal to level up: learn how Bitcoin works, build skills, and plug into people who can help. TABConf is encouraging folks to join the @ChaincodeLabs BOSS program, and the @tabconf cohort is here for extra support, encouragement, and mentorship along the way. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Sign up for the BOSS program and be part of the TABConf cohort this year: job-boards.greenhouse.io/chaincodelabs/…

“The ₿OSS challenge really helped me think deeply about Bitcoin and learn more about it and open‑source development.” @Camilla_rhi, 2025 ₿OSS alumna. Meet Rita, a Lagos🇳🇬‑based software developer and one of the 2025 ₿OSS alumni. Before joining the program, Rita already had over three years of experience building and improving fintech and logistics solutions. But her time in the ₿OSS program became a turning point. Through the program, she deepened her understanding of Bitcoin technologies and the Lightning Network, contributing to major open‑source projects like LDK Node, Warnet, and CircuitBreaker; critical components that underpin the scalability and resilience of Bitcoin’s Lightning ecosystem. Now, as a @btrustteam grantee, Rita is continuing her work full‑time on LDK Node and Warnet, focusing on improving transaction lifecycle management, payment tracking, and developer tools to make Bitcoin infrastructure even more reliable and user‑friendly. Rita’s journey is a great example of what’s possible through the BOSS Challenge, created by @ChaincodeLabs. This is a structured, hands‑on program designed to help developers start building open‑source Bitcoin projects and grow into funded contributors. Ready to build your own Bitcoin story? Applications are ongoing for the 2026 BOSS cohort. If you’re a developer passionate about learning, contributing, and building for Bitcoin, this is your chance. 🗓️ Applications close December 31, 2025 🗓️ Program starts the week of January 12, 2026 🔗 Learn more about the program: blog.btrust.tech/btrust-builder… 📝 Apply for the 2026 cohort: job-boards.greenhouse.io/chaincodelabs/…
