Most Bitcoin software gets judged on features. Ours gets judged on what we didn't change. That's intentional. productionready.org

Advancing open-source Bitcoin development. 501(c)(3) nonprofit funding a conservative Bitcoin client, education, and research. Built on Core. Focused on stability, security, and sound money.
High standards for change aren't obstacles. They're the point. Bitcoin doesn't need to move fast. It needs to be right. productionready.org
OP_RETURN limits aren't arbitrary. They're a policy choice about what Bitcoin's blockchain is for. Restoring the previous default isn't a statement against developers. It's a statement about money. productionready.org
The board running ProductionReady includes Samson Mow, Jimmy Song, Parker Lewis, and John Ratcliff. People who have been in Bitcoin long enough to know what's worth protecting. The mission reflects that. productionready.org
Tax-deductible donations to a Bitcoin node client. Not a hedge fund, not a VC play. A 501(c)(3) that thinks the best thing you can do for Bitcoin is keep it boring and verifiable. productionready.org/donate
The Bitcoin you hold is only as trustworthy as the code that enforces the rules. That's not a metaphor. It's why development process matters, why conservatism is a feature, and why more than one group should be doing the work. productionready.org
Sound money doesn't require trust. That's the point. You verify it yourself, with your own node, running software you chose. Every layer of that chain matters. productionready.org
Bitcoin's monetary properties don't need a developer consensus to be valid. They need node operators who understand what they're protecting and software that doesn't get in the way. productionready.org
Funding a Bitcoin client isn't charity work. It's infrastructure. The developers writing this code need to eat, and the people who benefit most from Bitcoin's stability should be the ones paying for it. productionready.org/donate
Implementation diversity in Bitcoin isn't fragmentation. Multiple clients with shared consensus rules and different priorities make the network more resilient, not less. productionready.org
Running a node in Caracas or Lagos means something different than running one in New York. Accessibility matters. Low resource requirements matter. The people with the most to gain from sound money shouldn't be priced out of verifying it. productionready.org
Decentralization isn't just a network property. It's a development property. When more groups can run nodes, set policy, and ship software independently, Bitcoin gets harder to capture. That's worth building for. productionready.org
Conservative development is not a stance against innovation. It's a recognition that changes to software securing trillions in value deserve a high burden of proof. The code should be boring. The money should be hard. productionready.org
The best Bitcoin node software is software you forget is running. No surprises, no drama, just blocks. That's the standard we're building to. productionready.org
High-bar development isn't slow development. It means every change earns its place. Bitcoin doesn't need to move fast. It needs to be right. productionready.org
OP_RETURN limits are relay policy, not consensus. Restoring the previous default doesn't break Bitcoin. It gives node operators more flexibility and developers fewer arbitrary constraints. That's the kind of change worth making. productionready.org
Education is undersold as a Bitcoin priority. Most of the world has never had access to sound money. That's the real opportunity. productionready.org
Sound money is the point. Not fast transactions, not cheap fees, not programmability. Those are fine to want. But if the monetary properties erode, the rest is noise. productionready.org
The board behind ProductionReady is not there for optics. Samson Mow, Jimmy Song, Parker Lewis, John Ratcliff. People who have spent years in the weeds on Bitcoin. That matters when decisions about the software get hard. productionready.org
Funding Bitcoin development without equity, tokens, or strings attached is rare. ProductionReady is built that way on purpose. Donations are tax-deductible and go toward software, education, and research. Nothing else. productionready.org/donate
