THE
GENESIS WORKSHOP
The Genesis Workshop is a hands-on Bitcoin and open-source workshop organized by OSGuild in collaboration with BitDevs Mauritius 🇲🇺. It is designed to introduce new contributors to open-source culture, Bitcoin technology, and real-world contribution pathways through practical breakout sessions led by experienced engineers. Genesis serves as the entry point into a long-term builder ecosystem focused on learning, contribution, and career development in open source.

FOSS Culture
Introduction to open-source culture and the technical foundations of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Breakouts
Hands-on, practical engineering sessions led by experienced Bitcoin contributors.
Pathways
Navigate actual codebases, open issues, and real-world contribution workflows.
Ecosystem
Enter a long-term builder network focused on continuous learning and career development.
Core Tenets
Don't Trust. Verify.
Every line of code you read and write must be scrutinized. We teach how to audit dependencies and validate network assumptions.
Read > Write
Great contributors read 10x more code than they write. You will spend hours dissecting PRs before pushing your first commit.
Persistent Context
Master the git history. Understanding why a decision was made in 2014 is crucial for proposing a change today.

Bitcoin needs thoughtful contributors.
This isn't a bootcamp to learn basic web dev. This is a proving ground for engineers ready to maintain the most critical network on earth.
