Builders, step away from the screen
The BOSS Summit is a three-day, invite-only gathering in Goa for India's most dedicated Bitcoin open-source contributors.
We bring together contributors from across the ecosystem to exchange ideas, share progress, and tackle problems that don't get solved in mailing lists or pull requests. Sessions are detailed and hands-on, discussions are open brainstormings, and everyone in the room is there because they're building, reviewing, or designing something that matters.
The pace is unhurried. Talks and sessions happen in a garden gazebo, not under stage lights. Conversations run long, and some of the most important ones happen off the schedule... over shared meals, evening walks, or while staring at the ocean.
It's a rare chance to step away from the noise, focus on the work that matters, and leave with new perspectives that can shape Bitcoin's future.
Is this your kind of room?
The BOSS Summit is for people who already shape Bitcoin's open-source software.
Developers, reviewers, maintainers, researchers — if your work touches Core, Lightning, wallets, privacy tools, nostr, or protocol research, this is where you'll find your peers.
Every seat is by invitation. Not because we want to keep people out, but because the conversations move fast, go deep, and assume you already know the terrain.
What happens when the right people meet in the right place
For three days, you'll be surrounded by people who work on the same kinds of problems you do, and who care about getting them right.
Some sessions go deep: two-hour workshops where a small group pulls apart one thorny issue until it's clearer, cleaner, or killed entirely. Others are lighter: open-stage talks where anyone can grab the mic and share an idea, a pattern, or a warning worth hearing.
You'll hear what others are building before it's public. You'll get candid feedback on your own ideas. You'll swap notes on roadblocks and trade-offs, and make decisions with people who've been in the code.
And because we're in Goa, it's not all sitting in chairs. The setting gives space for ideas to breathe, and for the right ones to stick.
A few things you can count on
Small group sessions on current and emerging Bitcoin projects
Deep dives into problems still waiting for the right solution
Unscripted discussions where the real breakthroughs happen
Off-the-record time for sensitive topics and early-stage ideas
Evenings that bleed into informality: a walk, a meal, an argument that becomes a plan. Everything is arranged so the discussion matters more than the schedule.
