Partner With Alkedevs

Help us launch Bitcoin Builders Fellowship and support the first cohort in Ghana.

Why this matters

Africa has strong software engineering talent, but too few clear paths into Bitcoin open-source work. Alkedevs exists to help close that gap by creating a builder-first route from interest to public contribution.

Bitcoin Builders Fellowship is our first serious answer: a focused pilot for developers who already know how to write software and want to deepen their skills by building with Bitcoin in public.

What the pilot is meant to produce

8-12 fellows

A focused pilot cohort of strong software engineers.

12 weeks

A structured fellowship built around public work.

Open-source outputs

Public code, documentation, demos, and contributions.

Starting in Ghana

A focused first cohort with room to grow beyond the pilot.

How you can help

Funding the pilot

Support coordination, fellow stipends, infrastructure, and the operational work needed to run a serious first cohort.

Technical mentorship

Guest sessions, office hours, code review, and introductions to experienced Bitcoin builders who can raise the quality bar.

Ecosystem visibility

Help fellows connect to the broader Bitcoin open-source world through maintainers, grants, events, and follow-on opportunities.

If you care about Bitcoin open source, developer education, or African technical talent, we'd love to talk.

We are still early, and we want to stay honest about that. If you believe African engineers should play a bigger role in building Bitcoin, we'd love to work with you.
