Cardano's Charles Hoskinson Plans to Revive Bitcoin Education Project in 2025

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has announced plans to enhance Bitcoin’s ecosystem by relaunching the Bitcoin Education Project in 2025, aimed at bolstering resources for Bitcoin developers.

Hoskinson originally started The Bitcoin Education Project in 2013, providing free, peer-reviewed content focused on Bitcoin and its digital asset environment. Now, as he highlighted in a tweet, with Bitcoin “back in the family,” he intends to reboot the project alongside developing a new edition of his educational course.

The upcoming edition will update prior materials and introduce new resources specifically designed for developers aiming to build applications on the Bitcoin network.

In a bid to improve the programming toolkit for Bitcoin developers, Aiken education—a modern programming language designed for developing smart contracts on the Cardano blockchain—will be made accessible to Bitcoin developers. This includes hosting features on Maestro and the usage of hyperledger GitHub.

Hoskinson also noted that with babel fees, Bitcoin developers could create Hybrid Cardano/Bitcoin applications in Aiken while paying transaction fees in Bitcoin. He emphasized that “DeFi is coming to Bitcoin, and it will dwarf anything Solana and Ethereum have done.”

Cardano's Integration with Bitcoin

In a significant advancement, Cardano is integrating the BitcoinOS Grail Bridge to enhance decentralized programmability and scalability on Bitcoin. EMURGO, a founding entity of Cardano, has formed a partnership with BOS to improve liquidity through the Grail Bridge, allowing seamless and trustless bridging of BTC and other Bitcoin assets. The Grail Bridge employs zero-knowledge cryptography to ensure secure asset movement for Bitcoin users.

This integration positions Cardano as the first major Layer 1 blockchain to connect with the BOS infrastructure, thus expanding its crypto feature ecosystem to leverage Bitcoin’s substantial capital. This development represents a technological milestone and has been described on Twitter by BitcoinOS as the homecoming of leading figures in the crypto industry back to Bitcoin.
