We build software around the work of a Bitcoin circular economy: earning from waste collection, paying local businesses, learning Bitcoin and running community tools. Our projects start with the people and constraints of Kibera, Nairobi.

Public code contributions: @novyrix.

Attribution comes from the original public repositories, not a complete team roster. Blink's upstream contributors remain credited in the wallet repository.

Community and Credits

The community runs 3 West Satenet. Afribit contributes software and technical support. Kibera Mesh is research into local calling and chat, not a released communications service.

Our local economic intelligence work is a collaboration with Insats. The Bitcoin Studio credits Btrust Pathways for the learning material and Gemini for AI-generated audio. Afribit Pay retains its Blink upstream credits.

Build With Us
