Builder-First Engineering
Africa has extraordinary developer talent, but access to structured mentorship, open-source exposure, and real engineering pathways remains limited. Alkedevs fills this gap.
Project-Based Learning
Learn by building real tools, writing code, and contributing to open-source repositories
Engineering Mentorship
Receive guidance, code reviews, and technical direction from experienced Bitcoin engineers
Open-Source First
All work happens publicly on GitHub - transparent and auditable
Fellowship Cohorts
Progress together in structured 8-12 week engineering programs
Practical Focus
Building for real African needs: low-bandwidth, privacy, merchant tools
Programs
We run meetups, bootcamps, and hackathons for developers building on Bitcoin and permissionless technologies. Start with a meetup, go deeper with a bootcamp.
Meetups
Monthly gatherings for devs to share, learn, and connect.
