Sharon (@nkatha_kk) is a developer based in Nairobi 🇰🇪, and an alumna of @DadaDevs and @btrust_builders.
She completed the 2026 BOSS Challenge, where she made her first major Bitcoin open-source contribution.
Her grant-funded work focuses on @braidpool's mining infrastructure: strengthening Stratum V1 reliability, addressing gaps in protocol implementation, and improving scalability.
This work helps connect existing mining ⛏️ equipment with decentralized pool software.
Nkatha also helps lead discussions at @BitDevsNBO meetups, supporting learning and knowledge-sharing within the local developer community.

There are a lot of developers opening PRs.
But who’s reviewing them? 👀
If you’re looking to contribute to open source without writing code, head over to Pull Reviews.
Find a PR from another builder, take a look, leave useful feedback, and help move the project forward.
Your next contribution might just be a review.

We’re excited to announce the Q3 2026 Btrust developer grant recipients. 🚀
Ten Bitcoin open-source developers are receiving support: five starter grant recipients and five long-term open-source cohort members.
This quarter also marks an important first: Btrust developer grants are going directly to developers outside Africa. Through our recent expansion of long-term grants across the Global Majority, we’re now supporting developers in Brazil 🇧🇷 and India 🇮🇳.
Their work, alongside that of recipients in Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Kenya 🇰🇪, spans @bitcoincoreorg, mining ⛏️ infrastructure, Lightning⚡, wallet libraries, and privacy-preserving payments.
Meet the recipients and learn about their work:
DAY 1 OF HACK4FREEDOM NBO 🇰🇪
And oh, Dada Devs! 😮💨🔥
The turnout. The energy. The talent. UNMATCHED.
Day 1 made one thing very clear: skills and talent aren’t the missing gap. The room is.
We kicked things off with @briimhd Founder of @hack4_freedom , who took the ladies through why this work matters and why creating more opportunities for builders is critical.
Our Founder, @marcelorraine , challenged the room to think beyond simply being consumers of technology.
Her message? Build from Africa.
Africa doesn’t just need more people using technology. We need more people building it.
She encouraged the participants to explore what they can create using open-source protocols like Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr and eCash and to see themselves not just as participants in the ecosystem, but as builders shaping what comes next.
A session that had the room reflecting on why they showed up and what they’re capable of building..

Most developers learn to write code.
But very few learn how to contribute to a real open source project.
They finish courses, build a few projects, and then get stuck wondering:
“What do I do next?”
That’s what we’re building Pull to solve.
Discover projects. Find contribution opportunities. Review code. Open PRs. Build proof of your work.
No more learning without a path forward.
Learn → Build → Contribute → Prove
Become an Open Source Builder.

The best thing about open source is that your idea can outlive your involvement.

Open source needs more than people opening PRs.
We got this feedback recently:
“Looking across the open source ecosystem, a lot of them needs more reviews now rather than just PRs. Perhaps you could have a dashboard for reviews.”
We thought about it, and they had a point.
Open source needs people writing code.
But it also needs people willing to look at that code, ask questions, catch things, and help move good work forward.
So we built Reviews on Pull.
Now builders can:
- Discover PRs that need reviewers
- Submit their own PRs and ask other builders on Pull to review them
- Give and receive feedback from other open source builders
Because contributing to open source isn't always about opening a PR.
Sometimes you're reviewing one, sometimes you're asking someone to review yours, and both are real contributions.
Reviews is now live on Pull.

We got some feedback that Pull needed to do more than just help developers find open source projects.
We needed to help them actually get started.
So we built First Contribution.
It walks developers through the process and comes with a practice repo where they can actually go through the steps, open a PR, and get familiar with the workflow before contributing to a real project.
It’s now live on Pull.
Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Learning is only the beginning.
Together with @the_buidl , we’re helping Rust for Bitcoin developers take the next step: from the classroom into real open source codebases.
Learn. Build. Contribute. Prove it.
🚀
🚀From learning to real-world contribution!
We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with @pullosdev!
This collaboration creates a direct pathway for our #RustForBitcoin dev participants to take their skills out of the classroom and into active open source projects within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Through this partnership, they can:
🔹 Apply their knowledge to live, active codebases
🔹 Turn their contributions into practical, portfolio worthy experience
🔹 Build a verifiable, public record of their contributions to the Bitcoin ecosystem
The work doesn’t stop when the sessions end. The journey to keep building, contributing, and growing within the open source ecosystem starts here.
Learn. Build. Contribute. 🛠️
