Hands-on Lightning channels
Spin up nodes, rebalance channels, and debug routing live with other builders during the workshop lab block.

Developers
Pair-program Lightning, Taproot, and Nostr primitives.
The Lightning Network Workshop gives you hands-on channel operations, while presentations like “Taproot and Schnorr Signatures” unpack protocol details you can immediately deploy. Combine that with project time on the Lightning Tip Bot and you leave every meetup having shipped something—or at least opened a compelling PR.
How Builder accelerates you
Protocol-level mastery
Taproot and Schnorr sessions cover script paths, key aggregation, and fee impacts so your code stays future proof.
Collaborate on open-source
Lightning Tip Bot and other community repos are actively developed at the meetup, so you can claim issues on-site.
Wins you can claim at each meetup
Route-payments with peers
You’ll test channel liquidity and failure scenarios with the exact people operating local nodes.
Audit Taproot upgrades
Deep dives cite BIP-340/341 so you can verify your wallet or service implementation on the spot.
Ship to actual users
Entrepreneurs and PMs bring real customer asks, meaning your hack can hit production through a partner immediately.
