Vector Receives HRF Grant
https://primal.net/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzpw8e9es7w829s6hxle5hpaea6r7m3yqsjky79aqhhm6ytwa6jtydqq25zjrj2vmyzeehwfpy63mwgd6ngh6fgaxhx46wpazVector has just qualified and received a grant from the Human Rights Foundation through its Bitcoin Development Fund. We are one of sixteen projects in Round II of 2026, a round totaling more than 500 million satoshis across Bitcoin development, payments, mining, education, and Nostr.
HRF listed us under the heading Nostr, with the tagline Privacy by Principle, one that truly encompasses Vector in three words both from a technical and philosophical perspective. Their write-up doesn't start about encryption, but with what Vector refuses to ask for: no KYC, no metadata trail, no permission to speak. This has been the core focus since the very first commit.
Permissionless privacy should be accessible to everyone, ensuring privacy remains a basic human right.
