Spiral, an open-source Bitcoin initiative backed by Block, is inviting the public to submit ambitious proposals aimed at increasing Bitcoin payment adoption over the next five years. This call for "moonshot" ideas is part of Spiral's broader effort, which includes a grants program supporting developers worldwide.
