Bitcoin 2025 will unveil an updated Open Source Hub focusing on security, innovation, and decentralization.
Among the innovations of the conference are also a hackathon, a technical forum, an interactive game, and a Nostr space.
The event expects over 30,000 participants from different countries around the world.
The organizers of the Bitcoin 2025 conference, which will take place from May 27-29 in Las Vegas, announced a major expansion of the Open Source Hub — a platform for developers, privacy researchers, Lightning Network engineers, and decentralized technology enthusiasts. This was stated in a press release they shared with Incrypted.
"Bitcoin has no CEO. Satoshi disappeared more than ten years ago. And these people are the ones writing the code for the future global financial revolution," noted BTC Inc CEO David Bailey.
According to the press release, the current Open Source Stage will again become the main center for technical discussions, where Bitcoin Core developers, Lightning engineers, and security and privacy researchers will gather.
Key innovations:
Hackathon Awards — awarding the most innovative projects from the Bitcoin++ series;
BitDevs Special Event — a technical forum for protocol and security research;
Project Stations — live demonstrations of Bitcoin tools from developers;
Chain Duel Arcade — an interactive game where participants compete for the longest chain in the Lightning network;
Nostr Lounge — a separate space for advocates of decentralized communications.
The organizers emphasize the important role of open code in creating censorship-resistant and border-independent financial tools. The Open Source Hub is created for in-depth technical interaction and inspiration for new developers.
According to the Bitcoin 2025 team, the event will also include:
a Continuing Legal Education program for lawyers and financial experts;
over 300 exhibitors, more than 500 speakers, and over 30,000 participants from around the world.
Free access to the Open Source Hub is provided exclusively to developers who have confirmed contributions to selected Bitcoin projects. Journalists can apply for a press pass, which includes access to open programming, the team representatives noted.
