Ben Allen has received the Maelstrom Bitcoin Developer Grant to advance the Payjoin Dev Kit project aimed at improving Bitcoin transaction privacy and scalability. Payjoin allows both the sender and receiver to contribute to a transaction, challenging the idea that all inputs come from one entity, thus enhancing privacy even for non-users. With support from Arthur Hayes, Allen plans to focus on integrating Payjoin into more wallets, addressing technical challenges while aiming for broader adoption to disrupt financial surveillance assumptions.
"Maelstrom would like to congratulate Ben Allen on this grant. The great thing about Payjoin, is that if only a small amount of adoption is achieved, it breaks a key assumption used by financial surveillance companies."
"I'm deeply grateful to Arthur Hayes and Maelstrom for generously providing me with this grant to support my work on the Payjoin Dev Kit project. With this funding, I can dedicate myself full-time to enhancing the Payjoin implementation."
