Getting ramped up as a new contributor in the FOSS Bitcoin ecosystem isn't easy. There is so much to do, so much to learn. In our effort to lift up and support the next generation, we are excited to announce our 2025 Visiting Scholar program! Over three months, our Visiting Scholar is given the opportunity to work in-person with our team, travel to conferences, and contribute to Bitcoin Core and other projects that they are passionate about. This year, we are honored to welcome @sliv3r__, a PhD student @UABBarcelona and recent graduate of the @libdesatoshi program! A special thanks to our sponsors: @lightspark and Tyler Levine—your support makes this possible. See the full program details below:
