Topic: Inside a Bitcoin Transaction - What Really Happens After You Hit "Send"?
Every transaction follows a fascinating journey before it becomes part of the blockchain.
Most people use Bitcoin but only a few understand what actually happens under the hood.
Join us as we trace a transaction from the moment you hit Send to its final confirmation, exploring the mempool, validation, mining, and more.
Bring your laptop. Walk away with a practical understanding of how Bitcoin really works, meet fellow Bitcoin builders, and connect with the local developer community.

Bitcoin Lightning 101: From UTXOs to Instant Payments
📍 Navi Mumbai
📅 Saturday, July 25
Scaling Bitcoin didn't require making the blockchain faster; it required finding a way to do millions of transactions safely outside of it.
Instead of broadcasting every single transaction to the entire global Bitcoin network, which takes time and costs money, Lightning lets you settle thousands of payments instantly and privately. In this workshop, we will break down the rules, the smart contracts, and the clever game theory that keep this system entirely safe and decentralized, without the jargon.
