Our Story: Born in the Heart of Bitcoin's Boom
In 2025, open-source contributors embarked on the application process for the Bitcoin Open Source Grant, only to spend two arduous days trapped in PDF purgatory.
Founders (UI/UX pro from Bitcoin Design community teamed with Kaduna open-source contributors to launch Bgrant: A web app indexing Btrust/HRF grants, slashing app times from days to minutes.
No more PDF purgatory. Just zk-proofs, Nostr zaps. We're not funders—we're enablers, empowering 1K+ builders to claim $2M+ in untapped sats.
