The first practical sessions of the hackathon focused on exploring Vexl, a P2P platform without KYC, guided by a clear objective: building open-source solutions that empower users and protect privacy.
Thank you to @vexl and @TrezorAcademy for their support.

The story of Rurbit is live on Blink! ⚡️ See how we’re using USSD to make Bitcoin accessible to every Burundian, with or without a smartphone. Thank you to @blinkbtc & to everyone who made this possible.

Seeing the next generation of Burundians discover Bitcoin via Rurbit is a reminder of why we build. No internet, no high-end smartphones, just the power of the Lightning Network accessible to everyone through a simple USSD code. @giacomozucco @fedimint @geyserfund

Our devs in Burundi are making it happen. This is @rurbit (Rural Bitcoin), a wallet which is adapted to the local context, using USSD while also making Bitcoin accessible to everyone.
@btrust_builders @HRF @OpenSats
Financial inclusion shouldn't stop where the internet ends. 🇧🇮
With #Rurbit, we are connecting Burundian hills to the global bitcoin economy. Receiving diaspora remittances on a simple 'feature phone' is now possible-no smartphone or data required.
