Our mission is to support designers and builders who help push the user experience and adoption of bitcoin and related technologies forward.

Bitcoin is at its heart a global technology that is open to all. Technological innovation and good design go hand-in-hand in this, and our goal is to accelerate progress. We are a non-profit organization, established on Open Collective Europe which provides accounting support and the establishment of a non-profit entity. Our activities are funded by donations from individuals and organizations who wish to support our mission.

The Bitcoin Design Community

“Design bitcoin for everyone” is the motto of the Bitcoin Design Community. Established as an online community in 2020, it has produced the Bitcoin Design Guide, the Bitcoin UI Kit, reference designs and adoption-pushing efforts like the unified QR code and taproot campaigns. The large community has held hundreds of calls, organized Designathons and worked directly with many open source projects to improve their design. A small number of grants initiated this huge body of collective work, positively impacting the whole bitcoin ecosystem. The Bitcoin Design Foundation supports the sustainability of these efforts and expands the impact of good design on bitcoin.
