U.Today – Founder Charles Hoskinson unveiled an ambitious plan to improve the Bitcoin ecosystem by relaunching the educational project in 2025 and introducing advanced resources for Bitcoin developers.
Hoskinson started the Bitcoin Education Project in 2013, providing free, peer-reviewed content about Bitcoin and the digital asset landscape. Now, as he noted in a tweet, with Bitcoin “back in the family”, he intends to relaunch the Bitcoin Education Project in 2025, as well as develop a modern edition of his course in the educational program.
The modern edition, according to Hoskinson, will not only update previous content, but will also include resources specifically for developers looking to create applications on the Bitcoin network.
In order to expand the set of development tools available to Bitcoin developers, Aiken education – a newfangled programming language and toolkit for creating intelligent contracts on the Cardano blockchain – will be prepared for Bitcoin developers, including hosting on Maestro and using the GitHub hyperledger.
Hoskinson also mentioned that with babel fees, Bitcoin developers can create Hybrid Cardano/Bitcoin applications on Aiken and pay transaction fees in Bitcoin. “DeFi is coming close to Bitcoin and dwarfing everything that has happened,” he said.
Cardano returns to Bitcoin
The most crucial milestone is the integration of Cardano with BitcoinOS Grail Bridge to unleash decentralized programmability and scalability in Bitcoin.
EMURGO, a founding entity of Cardano, has partnered with BOS to boost liquidity via the Grail Bridge, enabling BTC and other Bitcoin assets to be wirelessly connected. Grail Bridge uses zero-knowledge cryptography to enable Bitcoin users to transfer their assets securely.
This makes Cardano the first major Layer 1 blockchain to plug into BOS infrastructure, opening its ecosystem of cryptographic functions to Bitcoin’s massive capital.
This wouldn’t just be a technology milestone, BitcoinOS wrote in a tweet, saying it marks the return of the biggest names in the cryptocurrency industry to Bitcoin.
