-## About this project
+BTCPay Server is a self-hosted, open-source Bitcoin payment processor. Merchants
+run their own instance (on cloud, dedicated hardware, or a shared server),
+connect it to their store, and receive payments directly to their own wallet
+with no fees and no third-party involvement. It supports both on-chain and
+Lightning payments.
 
-BTCPay Server is a self-hosted, open-source cryptocurrency payment processor. It's secure, private, censorship-resistant, and free. Simply launch a server (cloud, your own hardware device, or an existing host), connect your e-commerce store or one of the many apps, and funds arrive directly to your connected wallet. Ability to also facilitate cross-border transactions without conversion fees. Easy to use with native wallet management, and great for invoicing and accounting.
+The software comes with built-in apps: a point-of-sale terminal, tipping
+buttons, payment links, and crowdfunding pages. It handles invoicing, accounting
+exports, and native wallet management with hardware wallet support. For online
+stores, there are integrations with
+[Shopify](https://plugin-builder.btcpayserver.org/public/plugins/shopify-plugin),
+[WooCommerce](https://docs.btcpayserver.org/WooCommerce/),
+[Ghost](https://plugin-builder.btcpayserver.org/public/plugins/ghostplugin),
+[ECWID](https://plugin-builder.btcpayserver.org/public/plugins/ecwid-plugin),
+and others. A plugin system lets developers add new payment methods, reporting
+tools, and third-party services.
+
+BTCPay is used at scale. Namecheap has processed over
+[$73M in BTC revenue](https://blog.btcpayserver.org/case-study-namecheap/)
+through it. [BTC Inc](https://blog.btcpayserver.org/case-study-btcinc/) uses it
+for Bitcoin Magazine and The Bitcoin Conference.
+[Bitcoin People](https://blog.btcpayserver.org/case-study-bitcoin-people/)
+built a mobile app on top of BTCPay's API to serve 270 merchants, and
+[Bitcoin Jungle](https://blog.btcpayserver.org/case-study-bitcoin-jungle-cr/)
+powers 200+ stores in Costa Rica.
+
+## Why fund it?
+
+When merchants run their own BTCPay instance, they keep full control of
+their funds. No custody, no platform risk, no permission needed. But that also
+means there is no revenue model built into the software. The project depends on
+grants and donations to pay its contributors.
+
+OpenSats has been supporting BTCPay Server since the [first wave of Bitcoin
+grants](/blog/bitcoin-grants-july-2023#btcpay-server) in July 2023 and has
+[renewed its commitment](/blog/renewing-our-commitment-to-bitcoin) since then multiple times,
+most recently in the [fourteenth wave of Bitcoin
+grants](/blog/fourteenth-wave-of-bitcoin-grants).
+
+## What's next?
+
+The latest release,
+[v2.3.0](https://blog.btcpayserver.org/btcpay-server-2-3-0/), had a strong
+focus on the plugin ecosystem, laying the groundwork for what's to come. It
+shipped
+[Plugin Builder 1.0](https://plugin-builder.btcpayserver.org/public/plugins)
+with signed releases, ratings, and reviews, and third-party developers have
+already been building on top of it. A
+[Stripe plugin](https://plugin-builder.btcpayserver.org/public/plugins/stripe-payments)
+lets merchants accept card payments through BTCPay, and when paired with
+[Bitcoin Stacker](https://plugin-builder.btcpayserver.org/public/plugins/bitcoin-stacker)
+it auto-converts that revenue into bitcoin. Other recent
+plugins include an [MCP server](https://x.com/MrKukks/status/2022280738259845285)
+for managing BTCPay via AI agents and a
+[Telegram Shopping Bot](https://x.com/BtcpayServer/status/2024909133745418704)
+that syncs with the point-of-sale app. The same 2.3.0 release also added native
+subscriptions, server monetization, and 14 new language packs.
+
+The team is now preparing v2.4.0, which will add multisig support and a global
+search bar. A transition from .NET 8 to .NET 10 is underway, with v2.3.6 being
+the last release on the old framework.
