Our Lightning Developer Bootcamp in Bujumbura, Burundi 🇧🇮 is officially a wrap and what an incredible week it has been. Over five days, participants journeyed from Bitcoin fundamentals, the history of money, cryptographic signatures, transactions, and the blockchain, all the way to building and testing real projects on the Lightning Network. Today, they pitched those projects to the room. Watching developers who started the week with questions end it with working ideas is exactly why we run these bootcamps. A huge shoutout to our instructors, @heyolaniran and @advaxeir. You didn’t just teach, you inspired. The depth, clarity, and energy you brought to every session shaped the entire experience. Thank you both. To our executing team, @_Satoshee and @Ladyyyy_lo, thank you for the countless behind the scenes efforts that made this bootcamp possible. These events only succeed because of people like you. A special thank you to @belyi_nobel, @Barakana_GE, and the @bitdevsgtga team for inviting us to Burundi, welcoming us so warmly, and supporting the local ground planning. Your community’s passion for Bitcoin education is truly inspiring, and this definitely won’t be our last time here. And to our sponsors and partners who continue to make this mission possible, @btrustteam, @HRF, @Tether_Africa, @afribitcoiners, @planb_network, and @freetechite, thank you. Your support is what transforms an idea into five days of hands on Bitcoin education across Africa. The Lightning Network is growing across this continent. One city, one bootcamp, one developer at a time. Next stop: Kisumu, Kenya 🇰🇪

Day 4 of our Lightning Developer Bootcamp in Bujumbura, Burundi 🇧🇮 is a wrap! Today was all about building. Participants configured their own setups, used @lightningpolar as dev infrastructure to test their ideas, and spent the day working on their own Lightning projects. No more hand-holding, just developers building real things on Bitcoin's second layer. Tomorrow is hackathon pitch day. Can't wait to see what they've built. 🚀 @btrustteam @HRF @Tether_Africa @afribitcoiners @planb_network @bitdevsgtga @Freeti_Bd
