## About this project

I began working on Bitcoin Core in early 2019 and since then have been doing review and development, focusing on whatever needs doing in any area to help the project move forward.


I work on Bitcoin Core development, code review, and testing.

## About this project

More recently I've been involved in the release process. Outside of that my focus is mostly on the build system and security.


I'm one of the Bitcoin Core maintainers. My work is code review, triaging and ultimately merging changes into Bitcoin Core.

## About this project

RoninDojo develops hardware and software to make it easy for anyone to use bitcoin privately as if it were cash. Some of our products include bitcoin nodes, steel backup plates, powerful software, premium support, and a lot more coming soon. We are working hard to increase accessibility for bitcoin users to connect their wallet to a node, use privacy enhancing coinjoin, do their own self custody, and so much more. Financial sovereignty is our goal and we won't slow down until it is achieved!


We help people have a feature rich bitcoin experience, maintain privacy, and thrive as a sovereign individual.

## About this project

Sapio helps you build payment protocol specifiers that oblivious third parties can participate in being none the wiser.

For example, with Sapio you can generate an address that represents a lightning channel between you and friend and give that address to a third party service like an exchange and have them create the channel without requiring any signature interaction from you or your friend, zero trusted parties, and an inability to differentiate your address from any other.
That’s the tip of the iceberg of what Sapio lets you accomplish.

Before Sapio, most Bitcoin smart contracts primarily focused on who can redeem coins when and what unlocking conditions were required (see Ivy, Policy/Miniscript, etc). A few languages, such as BitML, placed emphasis on multi-transaction and multi-party use cases.
Sapio in particular focuses on transactions using BIP-119 OP_CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY. OP_CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY enables Bitcoin Script to support complex multi-step smart contracts without a trusted setup.

Sapio is a tool for defining such smart contracts in an easy way and exporting easy to integrate APIs for managing open contracts. With Sapio you can turn what previously would require months or years of careful tinkering with Bitcoin internals into a 20 minute project and get a fully functional Bitcoin application.

Sapio has intelligent built in features which help developers design safe smart contracts and limit risk of losing funds.
