SPIRAL — PRESS BOILERPLATE

One-liner:
Spiral builds and funds public goods that make money and intelligence more open, secure, and accessible.

Short paragraph:
Spiral was built to build open alternatives: open-source money, open-source tools, and new ways to openly fund contributors to both. Founded in 2019 as a non-profit R&D lab within Block, Spiral creates and funds open-source bitcoin and AI projects, including the Lightning Development Kit, the Bitcoin Development Kit, the Goose Development Kit, and hundreds of grants to independent contributors around the world.
