U.Today – Founder Charles Hoskinson has advanced an ambitious plan to improve the Bitcoin ecosystem by relaunching the Education Project in 2025 and introducing advanced resources for Bitcoin developers.
Hoskinson started the Bitcoin Education Project in 2013, providing free, peer-reviewed content about Bitcoin and the digital asset environment. Now, as he noted in a tweet, with Bitcoin “back in the family,” he intends to relaunch the Bitcoin Education Project in 2025, as well as develop a new edition of his course in the educational program.
The new edition, according to Hoskinson, will not only update previous content but will also include specific resources for developers looking to create applications on the Bitcoin network.
In an effort to expand the set of programming tools available to Bitcoin developers, Aiken Education, a modern programming language and toolset for developing smart contracts on the Cardano blockchain, will be prepared for Bitcoin developers, including hosting on Maestro and using the GitHub hyperledger.
Hoskinson also mentioned that with Babel fees, Bitcoin developers can develop Cardano/Bitcoin hybrid applications on Aiken and pay their transaction fees in Bitcoin. “DeFi is coming to Bitcoin, and it will eclipse anything it has ever done,” he said.
Cardano returns home with Bitcoin
In a major milestone, Cardano is integrating the BitcoinOS Grail Bridge to unlock decentralized programmability and scalability in Bitcoin.
EMURGO, a founding entity of Cardano, has partnered with BOS to improve liquidity through the Grail Bridge, enabling a trustless bridge between BTC and other Bitcoin assets. Grail Bridge uses zero-knowledge cryptography to allow Bitcoin users to move their assets securely.
This makes Cardano the first major Layer 1 blockchain to connect to the BOS infrastructure, opening up its ecosystem of crypto functions to the immense capital of Bitcoin.
This wouldn't just be a technological milestone, BitcoinOS wrote in a tweet saying it's the return of the biggest names in crypto to Bitcoin.
