If I had to use some words to evaluate this matter, I can only say: Wow, amazing. With a market cap of 2 trillion USD, BTC has only 41 Bitcoin Core developers, and only 5 maintainers have the real authority to merge code into the mainnet. Over the past 10 years, only 13 people have held this position. Traditional tech companies often have tens of thousands of developers and spend billions of dollars on R&D each year, while Bitcoin's annual protocol layer budget is only in the millions. There is no foundation, no unified treasury; who supports Bitcoin Core? That's right, through funding. Bitcoin relies on a loose collection of organizations, individuals, and corporate donations, with every penny spent wisely. The article reviews 13 major funding organizations, Surprisingly, the only one from the exchange system that has consistently provided funding for many years is OKX. Really, you read that right, only OKX @okx. Since the OKCoin era, OKX has continuously funded Bitcoin core development. While most exchanges only care about listing coins, trading volume, and transaction fees, OKX is one of the few institutions that genuinely invests real money for Bitcoin's "underlying security" and "long-term sustainability." There are very few institutions that truly pay for the long-term security of the protocol layer. Moreover, I have never seen OKX promote this anywhere before. Kudos to OKX, kudos to Lao Xu @okx @star_okx @Haiteng_okx.
