A Builder Pipeline for Bitcoin
Africa has extraordinary software engineering talent, but very few clear pathways into Bitcoin open-source work. Alkedevs is building that pathway, starting with a flagship fellowship pilot in Ghana.
Bitcoin Focused
Alkedevs is centered on Bitcoin engineering, open-source contribution, and the tools builders need to ship.
Builder-First Learning
Developers learn by writing code, reviewing PRs, documenting decisions, and building in public.
Africa Mission
The mission is continental: grow African Bitcoin builders and widen who gets to shape the ecosystem.
Ghana Starting Point
The pilot starts in Ghana so the work has a concrete home while building toward broader African reach.
Mentor Supported
A core team in Ghana coordinates the program while technical mentors across countries guide engineering standards.
Start here, then go deeper
Bitcoin Builders Fellowship is the main program. Meetups and study tracks help developers get close to the work before committing to deeper Bitcoin engineering.
Bitcoin Builders Fellowship
Our main program for software engineers who want to build open-source Bitcoin tools and make meaningful public contributions.
Learning Bitcoin from the Command Line
A hands-on study track for developers who want stronger Bitcoin Core and command-line foundations before going deeper.
Meetups
Regular gatherings in Accra, with remote participation where possible, for builders sharing progress, questions, and work in public.
Early Open-Source Work
Alkedevs is still early. AlkePulse is our first shipped public Bitcoin tool and an honest proof point that we build in the open.
As the fellowship grows, this section will expand with public tools and open-source work produced by fellows and collaborators.

Meet the People Building Alkedevs
Alkedevs is coordinated by a core team rooted in Ghana. As the fellowship grows, fellows will also learn from technical mentors working across the broader Bitcoin ecosystem.
