Bitcoin exists within the broader context of the cypherpunk and free and open source software movements. Without willing contributions from individuals who value the principles embodied by these philosophies, Bitcoin would fail to thrive.
In support of Bitcoin and the ethos on which it is founded, the mission of Localhost Research is to foster an in-person environment which enables outstanding individuals to contribute to the research and development of protocols that are critical to the functioning and growth of the Bitcoin network.
Rooted in Silicon Valley, we leverage the region’s unique spirit to strengthen the Bitcoin ecosystem and its foundational values. By nurturing innovation, supporting developers, producing educational content, and advocating for open source principles, we are dedicated to securing Bitcoin’s place in our collective future.
