FTX, the world’s fastest growing cryptocurrency exchange, announced a $150K/year three-year commitment to Brink Technology, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting the Bitcoin community through developer fellowship and grant programs. It is Brink’s first multi-year commitment from a crypto exchange.
As part of the partnership, FTX will cover the cost of Bitcoin developers going through their fellowship with Brink Technology. Founded by Bitcoin core contributors and Bitcoin education veterans, Brink strives not only to support currently active Bitcoin developers, but to create a pipeline of new engineering talent to keep Bitcoin’s open-source software development thriving for years to come.
