Time2Build will pay developers to add Bitcoin Lightning Network features to existing open-source apps, rewarding only code accepted by project maintainers. Industry initiative Time2Build is paying developers to integrate the Breez Bitcoin Lightning Network software development kit (SDK) into existing open-source projects, aiming to drive lasting adoption rather than short-term experimentation.

Trump said he is considering giving Americans up to $2,000 in stimulus checks funded by revenue generated from import tariffs, according to an interview on the One America News Network published on Thursday. While the revenue from tariffs is just “starting to kick in,” they will ultimately generate “over a trillion dollars a year,” said Trump during the interview, adding that another part of the revenue will be used to pay the nation’s $37 trillion federal debt.
