Today, the BTCPay Server Foundation received a $25,000 grant paid directly in bitcoin from Unseata cash-focused bitcoin exchange, according to a press release sent to bitcoin Magazine. The grant will be paid to contributors working on developing new features, open source payments innovation, and maintaining the Greenfield APIs and BTCPay Server codebase.
“Unbank’s support is a testament to the growing recognition of open source payment solutions in the bitcoin ecosystem,” said BTCPay Server lead contributor. <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/r0ckstardev”>Developer R0ckstar. “This grant will assist in our efforts to enhance the capabilities and reach of BTCPay Server.”
Unbank, which has become a leading bitcoin ATM network with over 830 ATMs and over 30,000 partner locations, also uses BTCPay Server to process bitcoin sales transactions within its app.
“We love using BTCPay Server in our operations,” Emilio Pagan-Yourno, CEO and COO of Unbank. “When customers purchase bitcoin at our ATMs, we rely on their API to process and transmit transactions every 15 minutes. Supporting BTCPay Server is not only essential to our business: it is a privilege to contribute to the FOSS ecosystem that drives financial freedom.”
Last summer, BTCPay filmed and released a documentary covering the use of bitcoin as a medium of exchange at the world's largest bitcoin conference in Nashville. BTCPay, in collaboration with Jack Maller's company Strike, allowed all vendors at the conference to accept bitcoins as payment.
