 ### The Bitcoin Design Guide
 
 Our first community project, the [Bitcoin Design Guide]({{ '/guide' | relative_url }}) is a free, open-source repository for anyone building non-custodial bitcoin products. The guide will eventually cover consumer wallets, merchant interactions, financial applications, and much more.
