Decentralization is often discussed in the context of money, payments, and financial freedom. But its potential goes far beyond finance. It can also be applied to real-life challenges women face.
Resilience, a project by Team Nostr Warriors, explores this possibility. Made up of thinji , @GraciaMugoiri , @NNakhero , Daisy Sawe, Mona Tanei, and Vanessa Kalondu Otieno, the team introduced the project during the recent hackathon hosted by Dada Devs and @hack4_freedom Built on Nostr, Resilience is designed to give survivors of gender-based violence a way to anonymously seek counseling and support.
The project took second place at the hackathon and also received an additional $500 award from our founder @marcelorraine
Why the extra support? Because Resilience addresses a problem that deserves attention. For survivors of gender-based violence, fear of exposure, stigma, and lack of privacy can become barriers to seeking help. By exploring how decentralized technology can enable more private access to support, the team presented an idea with meaningful potential for real-world impact.
Well done, Team Nostr Warriors! We look forward to seeing Resilience develop and make its vision a reality. ๐งก

@MitaTechTalks was a massive highlight of my year. I met so many brilliant and kind people, learned so much about the energy and capital side of bitcoin & AI, and had the opportunity to share the work Iโm doing with @hack4_freedom, which was such an honor.
Not to mention, all of tita in Mexico, which is an astonishingly beautiful place ๐ญ
Thank you @lynnerae @isramunozp for putting together this very special event. I will remember this week forever!
If you missed out on coming this year, definitely donโt sleep on next yearโs MITA Talks!

Five months since @hack4_freedom Lagos.
Building Zappr has reinforced one thing: Bitcoinโs potential means little if people canโt easily use it.
Weโre working to change that, one iteration at a time.
Still open source. Still building from Lagos.

Weโre incredibly proud of what the team at Librerรญa de Satoshi has built, and excited for its next chapter as ISMOS.
Their work aligns closely with our mission to support developers in the Global Majority and create pathways into Bitcoin and open source.
Weโre happy to continue supporting the team as they expand access to technical education and mentorship.

Five years teachingย Technical Bitcoin in Spanish taught us this: language shouldnโt decide who gets to learn, and building Bitcoin well starts with its foundations.
A new name for a bigger mission.
Cryptography, math, software engineering, g, in more languages and more countries, all built on the foundations Bitcoin taught us.

Your idea could be the one that makes a difference at the next hackathon. โก๏ธ
Swipe through for 5 things every developer should know before their first hackathon, from choosing the right problem to presenting a solution that matters.
Curious about building on Bitcoin?

And this is exactly why we do what we do โฅ๏ธ
I didn't plan on becoming a Founder this year, it was not even on my yearly goal list.
Then I won my first hackathon, @hack4_freedom , and somehow, one win turned into more hackathons, more building, and a version of me I didn't know yet.
My confidence as a founder and a person January.
Iโve learnt to trust my ideas, work with people, take feedback, communicate better, and stop waiting until I feel 100% ready before trying something new.
And I have @briimhd and @ibrahim_sekinah to thank for a lot of that growth and the confidence they helped instill in me even after the hackathon till now.
These two ladies probably have no idea how much they've inspired me, I'll always appreciate them for that. ๐ฉต
To every woman trying to build something: please don't give up on your dreams just because you can't see the whole path yet.
And don't shrink yourself trying to impress people, do it because it matters to you.
Even when bad things happen, learn from it and grow, leave people where you left them and focus on you.
This year also brought amazing people into my life.
I've learnt from people I probably wouldn't have met otherwise, and icl, those experiences have meant so much more than the bad ones.
Not every experience will be good, and not everyone who crosses your path will be there for the right reasons.
But there's still so much to learn, and I'm choosing to be grateful for the growth.
I'm definitely not the same person I was in January. I have a lot more to learn, but I'm proud of how far I've come.
I'm grateful I found my way into this space and I'm excited to see who I become next. ๐ฉต
