17+# Overview
18+
19+The Urbit Bitcoin Wallet has been integrated into the core distribution, and its
20+maintenance is now passing back to the community via the Urbit Foundation.
21+
22+Our goal is to maintain this product at a high level of usability and also add
23+significant features to it over time. We want usage to become ubiquitous and
24+easy within Urbit, while integrating without outside wallets/signing devices and
25+internal applications.
26+
27+If you have strong development skills and are looking to make an impact with
28+your Urbit development, this is the project to be on. We'll likely recruit more
29+than one contributor for this role.
