2025 Builders BOSS Cohort

Cohort is ongoing

The next cohort of this pathway will be in 2026.

What It Is

An intensive, 3-month cohort in collaboration with Chaincode Labs that provides a gateway into Bitcoin open source software (₿OSS). This online program provides professional feedback to help participants get off ₿OSS 0, write impactful code, and solve complex technical problems.

The program is designed for all levels of experience in software development. Passion and dedication are a must. It is technically rigorous requiring a strong technical foundation. However, we aim to have as few barriers to entry as possible so if in doubt, you SHOULD apply.

Who It’s For

An ideal participant is -

  • A software developer with at least 1 year of programming experience.

  • Able to dedicate at least 10+ hours of prep a week.

  • Excited about a challenge and wants to elevate the program for others.

What To Expect

Chaincode curates each cohort, arranges curriculum, and provides ongoing support throughout the program. You will be expected to prep for a minimum of 10 hours per week. Outside of the first week, there are no scheduled calls.

This program will be taught and mentored by ₿OSS contributors that have stood in your shoes. Throughout the week, there will be async chat discussions and support. If you are willing to do the work, we'll give you what you need to get to where you want to go.
