Building Africa’s First Pipeline of Female Open-Source Bitcoin Engineers
Learn. Build. Contribute.
Who We Are
DADA DEVS is an initiative focused on equipping African female developers with the skills to contribute to Bitcoin development and the open-source ecosystem. Our goal is to bridge the gap between traditional software development and Bitcoin by providing specialized training, mentorship, and access to industry networks.
Through workshops, boot camps, and collaborative projects, we help developers refine their technical expertise, gain real-world experience, and actively contribute to open-source Bitcoin projects. By fostering a strong community of skilled women in Bitcoin development, we are expanding opportunities, increasing representation, and driving meaningful innovation in the space.
Why Bitcoin Development?
Why Women?
The future of finance is decentralized, but its builders remain a small and exclusive group. Bitcoin and the Lightning Network offer transformative tools to create financial sovereignty, especially in Africa, a continent at the forefront of financial innovation. Yet, women’s voices and technical skills are still significantly underrepresented in this revolution. DADA DEVS is here to change that.
With the rising demand for Bitcoin solutions creating unprecedented opportunities for financial inclusion, empowering women to bridge the gender gap in tech has the power to transform entire communities.
Who better to address Africa’s unique challenges than African developers themselves? By equipping women with the skills to lead in this space, we are not just fostering innovation—we’re rewriting Africa’s tech story.
