### Bitcoin Design

The Bitcoin Design Community [Discord](https://discord.gg/K7aQ5PErht) is an open space to discuss and explore everything bitcoin and design. Open standards are part of our foundation, so all of our work can also be found on [Github](https://github.com/BitcoinDesign).

Everyone is welcome to join and [participate](https://bitcoin.design/contribute). You can also follow along via our [newsletter](https://bitcoin.design/newsletter), [calendar](https://bitcoin.design/calendar), [social media](https://bitcoin.design/social-media), [BitcoinTV](https://bitcointv.com/a/bitcoin_design/video-channels) & [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/c/BitcoinDesign).

## Bitcoin Optech

Bitcoin Optech helps Bitcoin users and businesses integrate scaling technologies.

We provide [workshops](https://bitcoinops.org/workshops), [documentation](https://github.com/bitcoinops/scaling-book), [weekly newsletters](https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/), [topic-focused technical analysis](https://bitcoinops.org/en/topics/), [case studies and announcements](https://bitcoinops.org/en/blog/), [analysis of Bitcoin software and services](https://bitcoinops.org/en/compatibility/), a [podcast](https://bitcoinops.org/en/podcast/), and help facilitate improved relations between businesses and the open source community.

### Bitcoin Product Community

The Bitcoin Product Community helps drive high-impact FOSS and commercial projects within the bitcoin ecosystem by creating a space for people to network, share ideas, seek feedback, and develop skills.

We believe this kind of collaboration can lead to greater talent recruitment, resource allocation, and fundraising efforts across the ecosystem. Ultimately, we want to see bitcoin cross the chasm (i.e. reach the masses) and become the best kind of money.

If you're looking to get involved with a bitcoin project and aren't sure where to start, join us on [**Discord**](https://discord.gg/Ztvwn8fycA) and find our work on [**GitHub**](https://github.com/Bitcoin-Product-Community).

From there, you can help discover, define, and prioritize problems for the community to tackle, get involved in a project, and join our [**bi-weekly community calls**](https://meet.jit.si/ComprehensiveSpecialistsRideStrangely).

# Grants and Donations

## Bitcoin Donation Portal

Support bitcoin developers so they can focus on building our future.

{% embed url="<https://bitcoindevlist.com/>" %}

## Bitmex - Open Source Developer Grant Program

BitMEX, like other companies in the Bitcoin space, relies heavily on the (often-volunteer) work of dedicated open source developers. This work may be difficult, demanding, and often thankless. We believe it is the duty of corporations to help nourish the ecosystems in which they exist, giving back where possible to the projects from which they benefit – and from which their very business model may stem. Without the millions of free hours dedicated by open source developers powering everything from our operating systems to our web servers to Bitcoin itself, the BitMEX trading platform could not have been built.

{% embed url="<https://blog.bitmex.com/grants/>" %}

## Brink

Brink exists to strengthen the Bitcoin protocol and network through fundamental research and development, and to support the Bitcoin developer community through funding, education, and mentoring.

Brink supports and mentors new contributors to open source Bitcoin development through our [fellowship program](https://brink.dev/programs#fellowships), and support the work of established Bitcoin protocol engineers through our [grants program](https://brink.dev/programs#grants).

Brink was founded in 2020 with generous financial support from John Pfeffer and Wences Casares. Brink is 100% funded by donations from individuals and organizations who wish to support the open source Bitcoin network and protocol.

## Superlunar Funds

Superlunar worked to strengthen web3’s infrastructure by empowering its contributors. Since 2020, we funded and supported the global builders, maintainers, and educators working toward the continued success of the Bitcoin Network and adjacent technologies. We considered proposals for individuals seeking sponsorship, project-based work, and large scale programs. Programs seeking sponsorship should be focused on educating and nurturing developer talent, ideally serving underrepresented areas of the ecosystem. ‍ Superlunar was an extension of the Gemini Opportunity Fund created in 2020 and plans to build upon its previous impact. Previous GOF grant recipients include foundations such as MIT Media Lab’s Digital Currency Initiative (DCI), projects like Mempool.space and multiple Bitcoin Core developers.

## Programming the Blockchain in C#&#x20;

I think the Blockchain is like the tree branch. For outsiders, it feels like a boring and useless collection of bits. For programmers and entrepreneurs, it is a marvelous raw material that can be shaped with our imagination. We give it meaning and purpose. Just as you need to know about wood to make a bow, spear or cane from a branch, you need to learn about programming to shape the Blockchain. My hope is that you will discover how much your skill and intelligence can shape that useless collection of bits. Let me warn you: learning about Bitcoin is like taking the red pill from The Matrix. You may find yourself ready to quit your job to work on it full time.&#x20;
