BitDevs Lagos Set for Milestone 31st Monthly Socratic Seminar
BitDevs Lagos has announced its 31st monthly meetup, scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2026, at theBUNKER Yaba.
As Nigeria continues to lead the continent in Bitcoin adoption, BitDevs Lagos remains the premier “Knowledge Layer” where developers, researchers, and engineers move beyond price speculation to master the underlying protocol.
31 Months of Proof-of-Work
Since its inception, BitDevs Lagos has been the cornerstone of the Nigerian Bitcoin ecosystem. These meetups aren’t standard networking events; they are rigorous Socratic-style seminars where the community dissects the latest Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs), scaling solutions like Ark, and the intricacies of the Lightning Network.
By maintaining a consistent monthly cadence for nearly three years, BitDevs Lagos has successfully:
Nurtured Local Talent: Moving Nigerian devs from “users” to “open-source contributors.”
Bridged the Global Gap: Bringing high-level protocol discussions from the global stage to the streets of Lagos.
Fostered Collaboration: Creating a sanctuary for engineers to solve real-world frictions in a peer-to-peer environment.
Event Logistics: April Edition
Date: Saturday, April 25, 2026
Time: 3:00 PM WAT
Venue: theBUNKER Yaba (Herbert Macaulay Way, Lagos)
The community encourages attendees to bring a colleague—specifically those interested in the “hard engineering” of Bitcoin, decentralized protocols, and privacy-preserving technology.
Powered by Btrust
This month’s edition continues with the strategic support of Btrust, the non-profit organization co-founded by Jack Dorsey and Jay-Z to decentralize Bitcoin development. Currently led by CEO Abubakar Nur Khalil, Btrust’s mission is perfectly aligned with the BitDevs model: moving beyond superficial adoption to foster deep, technical expertise in the Global South.
By providing the critical resources and infrastructure for these monthly seminars, Btrust ensures that African developers are not just observers of the protocol, but the primary architects of the tools the continent requires for financial sovereignty. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to “Proof of Work” in the Nigerian developer ecosystem.
Why You Should Be There
In an economy where Bitcoin is increasingly used for remittances and inflation hedging, the role of the developer is critical. BitDevs Lagos is where the security, privacy, and scalability of these tools are debated and refined. Whether you are a seasoned Core contributor or a software engineer curious about the Bitcoin stack, this is the room where the most important conversations in Nigerian tech happen.
