“Dada Devs functions as an incubation environment where women identify problems within their own contexts and build practical Bitcoin- and Lightning-based solutions for their communities.”
A few women in the program have already created minimum viable products, which they’re planning to launch in February. Two of the female engineers have also recently taken on full-time work on Bitcoin projects.
And what was originally just a virtual space for these women is about to extend into a physical one.

Bitcoin seems more successful at getting women involved on technical fronts than the cultural ones. Representation will probably never be equal, but I wonder if making the culture more inviting to women, whatever that means, is low hanging fruit.
it's not "low hanging", the challenge is ludicrously difficult and honestly, I believe that however well-intentioned affirmative action efforts might be, they are often like feeding escaped zoo animals rather than rewilding from sanctuaries.
