"The foundation has received a large donation from Spiral. We’d like to express our deep gratitude for the continued support of the mission to support designers and builders who help push the user experience and adoption of bitcoin and related technologies forward. The design community and foundation would not exist without them," said the Bitcoin Design Foundation in a post.
  • Moving forward, the foundation will independently issue grants related to design and user research. Current Spiral design grantees are encouraged to apply for new grants with the foundation.
