Aug 27–28/HONG KONG
Tickets increase in—
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 core contributors, plus a Bitcoin VR experience so you can explore concepts hands-on, not just hear about them 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.
The same hands-on demo table from 2025 returns with more devices. Try wallets, nodes, and tools from core contributors on the floor.
Dual screens for side-by-side demos, bean bags for longer BitDevs-style sessions, and a PA system help every seat hear the presenter. Built for workshops, not keynote noise.
An educational VR station lets attendees explore Bitcoin concepts hands-on. Built for demonstration, not spectacle.
Workshop Program
Hands-on workshops and demos are led by core contributors. Show, tell, and build in the room. The full program will publish here once sessions are finalized.
