Bitcoin lacks developers and node runners in Asia. Code Orange fixes this by training regular developers and bitcoiners into builders who strengthen Bitcoin’s network through advanced self-custody, node running and community leadership.
- Developer Study Cohorts: 8-week Decoding Bitcoin study cohorts, 5-week Sovereign Bitcoiner crash courses and monthly Vibe Coding on Nostr workshops.
- Workshops: Hands-on in-person workshops covering node-running, mining, multisig, private eCash payments, fedimint, Nostr and more to keep the network decentralised.
- Community Hubs: We aim to inspire 10 more Bitcoin Houses by the end of 2026 by helping community leaders to start their own physical hubs Across South East Asia in Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, English and Mandarin.
- Talent Scouting: Train developers with resources from Chaincode Labs, base58, ₿Trust/Qala and Vinteum, guiding graduates to contribute to Bitcoin Core, Lightning, Fedimint, etc.
- Train-the-Trainer: Headhunt and empower technical community leaders at bitcoin hubs in Asia to replicate Code Orange workshops. Monthly train-the-trainer sessions ensures quality of workshops.
- "Sovereign Bitcoiner" packs: Sending parcels to community hubs with Tshirts, SeedSigners, stickers and workshop guides to empower community leaders with technical know-how on running bitcoiner workshops.
- Local Payments: Empower plebs with freedom tools like Fedi’s federated mints, Koral and PlebQR for smoother payments.
