"Beyond the Barrier: Female African Developers Reimagining Bitcoin Innovation"
Bitcoin doesn’t scale through marketing. It scales through builders. For too long, Bitcoin development has remained concentrated within a small demographic while massive technical talent across emerging markets remained untapped. Dada Devs was built to change that. Through focused pathways in Programming Bitcoin, Lightning, UX, and open-source collaboration, we have trained female African developers to move from first principles to shipping real Bitcoin products and contributing to the ecosystem. This keynote explores how emerging technologies, Bitcoin education, and frontier-market builders are reshaping Bitcoin development from the ground up, not through narratives, but through proof of work.
