Bitnob hosts the Bitcoin Developer Meetup in Lagos, sponsored by Btrust. Developers, engineers, and builders will come together to learn, showcase projects, and collaborate on Africa’s Bitcoin future.
Across Africa, Bitcoin is more than just a digital currency. For many developers and builders, it has become a foundation for solving real-world problems in payments, remittances, savings, and financial inclusion. Every product, every experiment, and every line of code is helping to shape how people on the continent interact with money.
Yet, while the pace of innovation is exciting, building in isolation often limits the impact of these efforts. Developers need spaces where they can exchange ideas, learn new approaches, and meet others tackling similar challenges. These shared spaces are where collaborations start and where individual projects begin to grow into community-driven solutions.
This is why Bitnob is hosting the biggest developers event - Bitcoin Developer Meetup in Lagos, sponsored by Btrust. The event, themed Code and Chain: Building Africa’s Bitcoin Future, is designed to bring together developers, engineers, and product builders who are interested in creating meaningful Bitcoin solutions for the African market.
Why This Meetup Matters
The Bitcoin ecosystem is evolving quickly, but the African context presents its own set of opportunities and challenges. Developers in the region often face barriers around access to infrastructure, mentorship, and visibility for the work they are doing. By convening developers in Lagos, this meetup aims to bridge those gaps.
Attendees will gain practical insights from experienced Bitcoin product builders, see how peers are applying Bitcoin in real-world projects, and find opportunities to collaborate on solutions that can scale across communities. More importantly, it provides a space where developers can interact with others who understand both the technical challenges of Bitcoin and the local realities of African markets. This event is sponsored by Btrust.
What to Expect
Unlike traditional conferences that focus heavily on theory, the Bitcoin Developer Meetup in Lagos is designed to be practical and engaging. Participants can expect:
- Expert sessions where speakers share knowledge from building Bitcoin products in real-world contexts.
- Project showcases highlighting the work of developers who are already contributing to Africa’s Bitcoin ecosystem.
- Networking opportunities that encourage genuine connections among developers, engineers, and builders.
- A vibrant community experience with activities, games, and informal interactions that make it easier to connect beyond the code.
This combination of learning, sharing, and community-building is what makes the meetup more than just another event. It is a chance to find inspiration, discover potential collaborators, and leave with a clearer vision of how to approach Bitcoin development in Africa.
