Here we go again!! Excited to announce Cohort 4 of the BOB Buidlers Residency program. The theme for this Cohort is ‘Usability’, which ranges from UX/UI designers to projects that aim to make #Bitcoin more user friendly, especially for those in the Global South. Before we get to the Residents, huge thanks go out to Tokyo Bitcoin Base (@Tokyo Bitcoin Base) for co-sponsoring Cohort 4. The initiative and efforts shown by Teruko (@Teruko) there were truly remarkable. So glad we could make this first-of-its-kind #Bitcoin only collaboration happen. Now for the Residents and Projects: there’re 2 Projects and 2 Resident Designers in this Cohort. Each Project aims to make specific features of Bitcoin (like privacy and everyday payments) easier to use. They will be supported by experienced and proven Resident Designers. Cohort 4’s Resident Projects: 1) User-friendly Silent Payments Wallet by @theanmolsharma_ on X (github.com/theanmolsharma) 2) Bounty for Openpleb QR-to-Lightning payments platform implementations (github.com/gandlafbtc/open-pleb). This project was ideated by Gandlaf (@gandlaf21), who was also a Cohort 1 Resident. Cohort 4’s Resident Designers: X) Veronika or V (@Veronika ) an experienced designer with active contributions to @npub1m495...u22l, amongst others. Y) Adeyemi Matthew (@Iyanu) another experienced designer who contributed to #StratumV2 in 2024 and whose team took third place in the SKBD wallet hackathon in 2025. Welcome to Cohort 4 everyone! Look forward to another great one.
