Aug 27–28/HONG KONG
Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr, ecash, AI agents, and WebXR. Two days with the devs shipping the future. Free passes for open source contributors.
About the Hub
We debuted the Open Source Hub at Bitcoin Asia 2025 as a dedicated floor space where builders demo wallets, nodes, and tools side by side with the people who ship them.
In 2026, the hub grows with you through a dedicated workshop space for deeper sessions with bitcoiners, builders, and makers, plus a VR station with the VR Explorer and VR XR Wallet — conference-built experiences so you can walk the chain and transact in spatial XR, not just hear about it from the sidelines.
Two days of intense experimentation, testing, and interoperation. Talks and demos run right inside the hub, not off on a separate stage. Bring questions, not just ears.
On the Floor
Everything in the hub is hands-on. Install, configure, sign, and broadcast in the room.
Demo Device Table
The 2025 demo table returns with more gear — wallets, nodes, and tools you can run on the floor.
Conference VR
The VR Explorer turns blocks, transactions, and mempool data into walkable 3D space. The VR XR Wallet lets you sign and spend bitcoin without breaking immersion — both live on the Open Source Hub floor.
Workshop Program
Bitcoiners, builders, and makers lead workshops and demos in the hub — August 27–28. Show up, ask questions, build in the room.
