The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) is launching a fund to support open-source development for Bitcoin’s core protocol.
Announced via a HRF blog post, the foundation is spearheading the initiative “to support software developers who are making the BitcoinBitcoin network more private, decentralized, and resilient so that it can better serve as a financial tool for human rights activists, civil society organizations, and journalists around the world.”
Announcing @HRF's Bitcoin Development Fund: a privacy-focused campaign to support developers making Bitcoin a safer tool for activists and journalists around the world.
Our first grant is to @chris_belcher_ and his exciting work on Coinswap!

The first developer to receive a grant from the fund is Chris Belcher, a UK-based developer whose recent CoinSwap proposal has made an impression on the Bitcoin community as a significant improvement for Bitcoin’s privacy.
As the inaugural grant may show, the fund “will have a privacy focus” among other interrelated goals, Chief Strategy Officer for HRF Alex Gladstein told Decrypt.
“Broadly speaking, the long-term goal is to help meaningfully improve the privacy and resilience and decentralization of the protocol while also inspiring more non-profits to get involved with Bitcoin development,” he said.
The fund was kickstarted by an anonymous donor who wanted to see financial support for open-source development, particularly so it can be safer (and more private) to use for human rights activists, political dissidents and those who need it most.
This anonymous donor has paid Belcher’s way, and another portion of their donation is “earmarked for another developer” to be announced later in the summer, Gladstein said. Moving forward, the HRF will accept rolling donations in USD or Bitcoin—processed using the Human Rights Foundation’s own BTCPay Server payment portal.
Privacy-first messaging app Signal is taking a stand against the encroachment of police and government surveillance in the wake of worldwide protests sparked by the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

Any developer can submit a Bitcoin-related proposal to the fund, and the HRF has assembled a small team to review each proposal.
The Human Rights Foundation is the latest in a growing trend of organizations that have pledged financial support for Bitcoin open-source development. Bitcoin Core—the primary, open-source Bitcoin software that was released by the cryptocurrency's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009—is maintained by a distributed group of developers. Funding like this is the lifeblood of this economy, whose developers often work for free out of a sense of personal passion.
Zama, an open-source cryptography startup aiming to bring complete privacy to public blockchains, has raised $57 million in Series B funding led by Pantera Capital and Blockchange Ventures. The round pushes Zama’s valuation over $1 billion, making it the first company working in advanced encryption to hit unicorn status. Founded in 2020, Zama seeks to bring privacy to public blockchains without compromising transparency or auditability. Zama’s latest funding comes alongside the launch of its pub...
A newly discovered Trojan dubbed "SparkKitty" is infecting smartphones and siphoning off sensitive data, potentially enabling attackers to drain victims' cryptocurrency wallets, cybersecurity firm Kaspersky said in a report on Tuesday. The malware is embedded in apps related to crypto trading, gambling, and even modified versions of TikTok. Once installed via deceptive provisioning profiles—used for running iOS apps or modified apps—SparkKitty requests access to the photo gallery. It monitors fo...
Major Ethereum validators controlling a significant share of the network's stake have begun testing OptimumP2P, a high-performance memory layer that could help address some of the network's limitations through its networking stack. Kiln, P2P.org, Everstake, Blockdaemon, Infstones, Luganodes, and Ebunker are participating in the testnet for OptimumP2P, which has introduced a novel application of MIT-developed tech for Ethereum. "The networking layer relies largely on traditional gossip approaches...
