Localhost Research is quickly approaching the one-year anniversary of its office opening. In that time, we’ve found our footing as a group and begun developing a team culture and vision for our future. We’ve also published three transparency reports, closely detailing some of our most exciting work.

Currently, our Bitcoin Core Unit comprises four extremely talented individuals, each dedicated to contributing to projects within Bitcoin Core and the surrounding ecosystem. These four contributors bring a wide range of interests across the codebase: the wallet, validation, net processing, multiprocess, and more.

It is our intention as an organization to expand this unit’s footprint. But we can’t do that without help.

Today, we are grateful to honor two individuals who have helped us step into these bigger shoes: Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss. Their generosity cannot be overstated.

Tyler and Cameron have committed $1,000,000 to our cause.

With this gift, Localhost Research can now onboard a fifth contributor to its Bitcoin Core Unit. We are excited to continue advancing as an organization and remain forever grateful to our donors.

Tyler and Cameron, thank you so much. Welcome to the Localhost Family.
