Join us in Nairobi next June for an incredible event. We’ll be partnering with local organizers to bring you a four day bitcoin developer bananza. bitcoin++ will be featuring our first ever “open source” edition, honing in on the open source builders and developers from Africa and around the globe.
Nairobi, Kenya | Pride Inn Azure | June 17-19, 2026
Bitcoin stands amongst the great decentralized protocols. Money is global, bitcoin makes it open source. This June 2026 we're building the first showcase of the power of open protocols in Nariobi, Kenya. With the help of a local team, we're putting together a celebration of working in public, shining a light on how contributions to the global protocols of Bitcoin are reshaping the developer ecosystem in Africa and beyond.
Join us for four days of building and working in public.

Step into a living, breathing circular economy. Join us for an interactive Circular Economy Safari in Kimbo to meet the local merchants, the mothers, and experience real-world peer-to-peer Bitcoin in action.
See peer-to-peer Bitcoin in the real world
The Bitcoin Babies Experience is a hands-on, walking safari through the active circular Bitcoin economy of Kimbo, Ruiru. We start our journey at Bitglam Fashions and head directly to the Miale Medical Centre — one of our earliest merchants and Kenya's longest Bitcoin-accepting medical clinic, where we'll share the origin story of our program.
As we walk the trail, you'll explore the heart of Kimbo's commerce — visiting active Bitcoin-accepting shops including Wakari Grocery, Gmax Supermarket, Friendly Pharmacy, Marvelous Butchery, Waruchu Poshomillers, Levina Groceries, and finishing back at Eve's shop. At several stops, local merchants present their businesses, show how they use Blink wallets, and invite you to transact in sats.
You'll also meet the mothers in our program who receive weekly $5 stipends in sats, see our new Online Village app, and learn about our merchant discount campaigns. Come meet the team, the mothers, and the merchants building the future of money from the ground up.
