Abraham (@abeeujah) is a developer based in Nigeria 🇳🇬, whose Bitcoin open-source journey began through @BitDevsKaduna. He built his knowledge through @ChaincodeLabs’ protocol development seminars, the @FreeRoutingAf Kaduna Lightning Developer Bootcamp, and Bitcoin Core Principles by @libdesatoshi. He also completed the 2026 BOSS Challenge and was featured by @btrust_builders as one of eleven African participants whose journeys stood out. With the starter grant, Abraham will focus on testing, protocol libraries, and developer tooling across rust-bitcoin and rust-lightning, strengthening the building blocks developers use for Bitcoin and Lightning applications.

Bootcamp Across Africa led by @FreeRoutingAf : Celebrating the Journey So Far 🔥 Across the continent, energy, learning, and community have been coming together through Bootcamp. From West Africa to East Africa, and down to Southern Africa, each city has written its own chapter. These recaps capture the faces, the stories, and the momentum that make this movement so powerful. Before we turn the page to our next destination, let’s take a moment to celebrate the countries that have already hosted and inspired us: Bootcamp Recap Tour 1.

It is a space where ideas meet action, where young leaders connect, and where solutions rooted in our local realities take shape. Each city brought its own flavor, its own challenges, and its own brilliance. From the innovation hubs of Nairobi and Johannesburg, to the vibrant communities of Cotonou and Ouagadougou, to the rising voices in Bujumbura, Lusaka, and Accra, the story is the same. People showed up ready to learn, build, and lead. The impact is already visible. Participants are launching projects, forming collaborations, and taking the lessons back to their schools, businesses, and communities. These videos are proof that when we invest in people, the results travel far beyond one room. The Next Chapter: Tanzania 🇹🇿 🔥🔥 And now, the journey continues. The next step is Tanzania. We are bringing that same spirit of learning, collaboration, and impact to Dar es Salaam and beyond. If the past 14 stops are anything to go by, Tanzania is about to be unforgettable. To everyone who has been part of Bootcamp so far: thank you for setting the standard. To Tanzania: we are ready, and we cannot wait to build with you. Let’s keep the momentum going. Watch the recaps above, share them, and get ready. The future is being built city by city, and Tanzania is next. Big and amazing proof of work done by @FreeRoutingAf

What happens when learning Bitcoin stops being just about understanding the technology and starts becoming about building something with it? In the latest episode of Btrust in Focus, @proofofpaul sits with @Fideltodayy, Founder of @bitika_KE, to talk about his path into Bitcoin development and the experiences that shaped his approach to building. They discuss the challenges of learning Bitcoin as a developer, the programmes and communities that helped Fidel deepen his technical understanding, and how those experiences eventually led to Bitika, a platform making it easier for people in Kenya to access Bitcoin through M-Pesa and Lightning. The conversation also explores Fidel's vision for building useful Bitcoin products in Africa and his advice to developers who have ideas but are still waiting for the right moment to act on them.
