We compiled this list of Bitcoin and Lightning Open Source Developer Grants as an aid to the Bitcoin developer community. We recognize the challenges of developing free and open source software. Hopefully this list is handy.
Since so much of our industry is built on open source, several organizations offer grants to support its ongoing development. If you’re a developer seeking funding—or working on a project that isn’t aligned with commercial funding—these grants can be a great way to stay focused on building. We assembled this list using a helpful bitcointalk post as a starting point.
We also created a GitHub repo where anyone can create an issue or make pull requests with suggestions for updates and additions.
Alternatively, feel free to suggest changes, additions and updates to engineering@velascommerce.com or contact us here.
