Jaipur, India, October 26, 2026 – Bitshala, the Bitcoin-focused education initiative, today opens the Bitshala BOSS Summit 2026 in Jaipur. The six-day, in-person residency brings together Bitcoin developers, designers, educators, and product builders actively working on Bitcoin projects, tools, content, and education. Running from October 26 to November 1, the summit focuses on hands-on building, open-source learning, and collaboration, with participants also joining Bitmela on October 30–31.
Following the previous BOSS Summit in Dharamshala earlier this year, the Jaipur edition runs from October 26 to November 1 and is designed around one simple idea: put the people building Bitcoin's open-source future in the same room, and let them work together.
Who is in the room
Seats at the summit are limited and curated. The residency is built for:
Bitcoin developers
Product designers and UX/UI designers
Bitcoin educators
Product builders and anyone actively working on Bitcoin projects, tools, content or education

How to attend
Bitshala offered free, invite-only Sessions Passes to selected applicants, who were asked to share what they are building and how they hope to contribute. That allocation is now closed.
For those who were not invited but want to join, a limited number of paid Sessions Passes are available, with only 10 remaining at the time of release. The pass covers three days of BOSS sessions and three days of meals (lunch and evening snacks). Accommodation and the Bitmela pass are not included. Bitmela passes are available for ₹849 using the code BITSHALA15 for 15% off.
The exact venue in Jaipur is shared with attendees after registration. Participants bringing a family member or friend can be connected with the venue provider or nearby Airbnb options, with guests paying for their own stay and meals directly.
