We build the community. They build Bitcoin.
Code Orange supports a global network of Bitcoin developers with mentorship, structured cohorts, accountability, and a peer community. We measure it in pull requests merged and nodes deployed, not vague completion numbers.

Our strategy
The Code Orange builder flywheel.
A practical strategy for turning free community sessions into cohorts, cohorts into public GitHub work, public work into credibility, and credibility into fellowships and regional workshop hosts. Not a coding bootcamp, not a crypto community — a Bitcoin-only technical school where sovereignty education, developer training, and public contribution form one system.
Discord sessions, meetups, reading groups, and beginner workshops bring people into the school.
rawBit, the Bitcoin Privacy Track, Agentic Engineering, and Sovereign Bitcoiner turn curiosity into capability.
26 public repos make curriculum, impact, profiles, and contribution paths inspectable by anyone.
Developers and educators contribute, teach, and mentor within focused fellowship tracks.
Hands-on Bitcoin consulting keeps the school close to real-world custody, node, and privacy needs.
A credible Bitcoin technical education pipeline — students become public contributors.
Bitcoin Only
