Initiatives
Explore the high-impact initiatives shaping how Bitcoin will be experienced, understood, and used in the next decade. Each project needs contributors and some need a Directly Responsible Individual to lead the charge.
Simplify the Bitcoin Design Guide’s content and navigation so builders can quickly find answers to real problems. Through user interviews, identify pain points and restructure how guidance is presented. The aim is to increase usage, repeat visits, and recognition of the BDG as a genuinely helpful, go-to resource.
Create practical code examples, reusable components, and patterns that help developers, AI-assisted builders, and vibe coders build faster. Embrace modern workflows to lower the barrier to entry and drive adoption of the Bitcoin Builder Kit across the ecosystem.
Showcase excellent real-world bitcoin products and design decisions. Celebrate teams doing strong work, provide concrete reference points for others, and spread design culture through industry visibility and social media.
Support developers by adding design thinking and artefacts early in the BIP process. Help communicate user value clearly, improve comprehension, and increase the likelihood of BIPs progressing.
Build a consistent, provocative design-led presence on X through content, Spaces, podcasts, critiques, and debate to grow an engaged audience.
Experiment with novel bitcoin applications and interaction models, showcasing ideas publicly to inspire others and attract designer-builders.
Identify where bitcoin offers distinct user value compared to stablecoins or tradfi and validate it through concrete user stories and prototypes.
Advocate for consistent use of the ₿ symbol by improving font support, keyboard access, and industry-wide adoption.
Promote best practices for human-readable bitcoin addresses and campaign for industry-wide adoption of BIP353 and BOLT12.
Promote simple, consistent user-facing language and remove L2 branding from user experiences while keeping trust assumptions clear.
Collect and document real, sourced user stories globally in a searchable format that builders, brands, and media can rely on.
Design a complete, high-fidelity reference wallet that sets a new UX bar and inspires a team to productionise it.
Improve onboarding, navigation, and tooling to make the community easier to engage with and more responsive to design questions.
Design campaigns that clearly communicate the benefits of accepting bitcoin and drive merchant adoption.
Highlight everyday spending use cases to normalise bitcoin as a medium of exchange.
Promote bitcoin as a long-term savings technology with messaging focused on resilience and autonomy.
Attract designers and technologists beyond the bitcoin ecosystem by positioning bitcoin as culturally and creatively meaningful.
Communicate bitcoin’s benefits to policymakers to encourage supportive, forward-looking regulation.
Reframe the public narrative through playful, experimental, and artistic campaigns that others can remix.
Document and promote interoperable best practices for bitcoin inheritance to reduce loss and improve long-term security.
Design user experiences for multi-party self custody that balance security, transparency, and personal safety.
Built by the Community, for Bitcoin
Tools and initiatives created by the community to improve Bitcoin experiences.
Partnering to Shape Better Bitcoin
Design collaborations with teams and projects building real-world Bitcoin products.
We're looking for creatives who can move culture, and make big impressions.
- Designers who turn abstract systems into everyday tools
- Artists who give form to ideas people struggle to name
- Sculptors who give form to ideas people struggle to name
- Writers & thinkers who clarify meaning without noise
- Builders who care how things feel, not just how they function
- Researchers who ground ambition in lived reality
Designing how ownership is experienced, not just explained
Creating symbols, tools, and standards that travel across the ecosystem
Setting a higher bar for clarity, usability, and cultural coherence
Building shared references others can build on — not one-off artifacts
