We're incredibly proud to see Dada Devs builders making their mark at @btcplusplus Nairobi, contributing to projects tackling some of Bitcoin's most important challenges—from privacy and open-source development to financial access, developer reputation, and funding innovation. Across the hackathon, Dadas helped build projects that didn't just participate—they stood out. 🏆 Out of 37 competing projects, teams featuring Dada Devs secured multiple awards and top placements:

Who says women in tech can’t code, create, AND catch a vibe? 😎💻💃🏽 #DadaDevs #WomenInTech #AfricanDevelopers

Developers are busy building the future while the marketing team is busy enjoying the present. 😭😂 #DadaDevs #TechLife

Africa is not just adopting Bitcoin. African women are building it. We built Dada Devs with the hope of creating a better ecosystem for African women in Bitcoin — one where women have access to the technical training, mentorship, resources, and opportunities they need to move from learning about Bitcoin to actively building and contributing to it. That vision is taking shape. Through Dada Devs, we are creating pathways for women to develop their technical skills, contribute to open-source projects, explore Bitcoin infrastructure, and build solutions of their own. We want African women to be more than participants in this ecosystem. We want them to help shape its future. @su_githaiga @nkatha_kk @Salma_Adam_KE @junearsenic7 and @nnakhero are five of the women doing that work. Their journeys reflect what becomes possible when women have the support and space to grow into technical contributors. And they are just a fraction of what is happening at Dada Devs. There are more women learning, building, contributing, and finding their place in this ecosystem. We started with a hope for a better future for African women in Bitcoin. Seeing that future begin to take shape through their work is a reminder of why we do this. Meet the five African women contributing to the future of Bitcoin. Discover what they’re building, the work they’re contributing to, and how Dada Devs is helping create more pathways for African women in Bitcoin development.

Same hackathon, different presentations. The backend team explains the logic, while the frontend team gets the head nods and applause. Sometimes, seeing is believing! #DadaDevs #Hackathon #BuildonBitcoin

There are two types of devs: Those who live-demo and pray, and those who bring a pre-recorded video just in case the code senses an audience. #DadaDevs #Africanfemaledevelopers #BuildonBitcoin

Meet Daisy Sawe, a software developer and Dada Devs Cohort 1 alumna. 🧡 Daisy’s journey has taken her from building on systems owned and controlled by others to exploring a different kind of technology: one built on decentralised systems and open protocols. Recently, she was part of Team Resilience, which came 2nd place and won the Nostr Prize at the @hack4_freedom Nairobi Hackathon. Their project uses Nostr to help survivors of gender-based violence communicate privately with a counsellor. Daisy’s journey is a reminder of what happens when developers get the opportunity to explore new technologies, develop their skills, and build solutions that matter. From our very first cohort to building solutions with real-world impact, this is the kind of progress we love to see from our Dadas. ⚡️ #DadaDevs #Nostr #AfricanDevelopers #BitcoinDevelopment

The joke is on the devs. The judges are just being professional. 😭😂 #DadaDevs #Developers #TechHumour

If we want to shape Africa’s tech future to better reflect our realities, we have to do more than use the technology. We have to build it. ⚡️ Africa doesn’t just need more people using Bitcoin and open-source technology. We need more people contributing to the code, building infrastructure, and solving problems within our communities. The projects built by the women at @hack4_freedom Nairobi were a reminder of what’s possible when African developers take the lead in building solutions that reflect their realities. We’re immensely proud of what they’ve accomplished. 🧡 It’s time to move from being consumers of technology to becoming the builders shaping what comes next.
