Built in Bali, for Asia's Bitcoiners.
Code Orange started with a simple observation: Bitcoin adoption in Southeast Asia was growing fast, but the technical expertise wasn't keeping up.
Developers were interested but didn't know where to start. Bitcoiners were stacking but relying on custodians. Node runners were rare. Open source contributors were even rarer.
We built Code Orange to fix that, starting right here in Canggu, Bali, Indonesia, and expanding online and across the region — with workshops in Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, English, and Mandarin.
What we believe
Bitcoin Only
We teach Bitcoin. Not crypto, not blockchain, not web3. The signal, not the noise.
Hands-On First
Every session ends with something built, deployed, or running. No theory without practice.
Open Source
Our graduates contribute to Bitcoin open source software. Code in the open, always.
Sovereignty
Run your own node. Hold your own keys. Control your own money. Full sovereignty, no shortcuts.
Community First
The school is the community. We grow together, developers teaching developers, Bitcoiners supporting Bitcoiners.
Built for Asia
We're based in Bali because Asia needs more Bitcoin builders. We're here for the long game.
Code Orange Dev School
Our in-person workshops and events are hosted at Code Orange Dev School in Canggu, Bali, Indonesia, one of Southeast Asia's most active Bitcoin community spaces.
The space is equipped with hardware wallets, ASIC miners, Raspberry Pi nodes, and all the tools needed for hands-on Bitcoin education. Real hardware, real practice.
Online programs are run on Discord, open to anyone in Asia and beyond.
Six pillars of the school
Advanced Bitcoin Dev Education
8-week protocol deep-dive cohorts and 5-week Sovereign Bitcoiner crash courses. Weekly sessions, homework, and graduates who contribute to open source.
Hands-On Workshops
In-person and online sessions covering node running, mining, multisig, private eCash, Fedimint, Nostr, and Lightning — keeping the network decentralised.
Community Hubs
Partnering with Bitcoin House Bali, Bitcoin Learning Centers, and community hubs to deliver workshops in Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, English, and Mandarin.
Talent Scouting
Training developers with resources from Chaincode Labs, base58, ₿Trust/Qala, and Vinteum. Guiding graduates to contribute to Bitcoin Core, Lightning, Fedimint, and more.
Train-the-Trainer
Headhunting and empowering technical community leaders at Bitcoin hubs across Asia. Monthly quality sessions + "Sovereign Bitcoiner" packs with SeedSigners, T-shirts, and workshop guides.
Local Bitcoin Payments
Empowering everyday people with tools like Fedi's federated mints, Koral, and PlebQR for smoother, more private Bitcoin payments in local economies.
Specific goals. Real deadlines.
We measure success in nodes deployed, pull requests merged, and community leaders empowered — not in course completions.
