The unglamorous stuff is where real robustness lives. Nobody's writing price predictions about build system modernization or p2p security research, but this is what keeps Bitcoin functional and trustworthy a decade from now. OpenSats consistently funds the work most users will never notice but always depend on. Three first-time grantees in one round is a good sign — the contributor pipeline isn't drying up.
