A Bitcoin OSS contributor pipeline with a fellowship layer.
Bitcoin lacks developers and node runners in Asia. We fix this. Train to become a builder who strengthens the network, through advanced self-custody, node running, and open source contribution.
Bitcoin needs more builders in Asia.
Southeast Asia is one of the fastest-growing regions for Bitcoin adoption, but it lacks the developers, node runners, and technical educators to support it.
Code Orange was built in Bali to change that. We run hands-on cohorts, weekly workshops, and in-person sessions at Code Orange Dev School in Canggu, Bali, Indonesia to turn regular people into sovereign Bitcoiners and capable builders.
Bitcoin only. No fluff. Just deep, practical Bitcoin education for people who want to strengthen the network.

Real sessions. Real hardware.
