Liquity’s Sam | Liquity believes this is a breakthrough moment for Bitcoin & censorship-resistant money.

BTD’s design means no centralized intermediaries, no opaque governance votes & no ponzinomics yield farming schemes. Just pure, transparent, BTC-backed stability on rails designed for the future of money.

Alpen's testnet will be public soon 🌐 Developers will be able to deploy on Alpen’s EVM & experiment with BTC-backed apps, including the Bitcoin Dollar once deployed.

ZKSummit 13 is a wrap! BTC 🤝 ZK

Why the Bitcoin Dollar is the missing link the industry has long awaited, argues David Seroy 🏔️. 🔗 Read here: alpenlabs.io/blog/bitcoin-d…

ZK rollups & scaling bitcoin with David Seroy 🏔️ (Bitcoin Takeover Podcast S16 E27) x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The Alpen team is here at #bitcoin2025 🟧 in Vegas! Catch us on and off-stage at the main conference and side events. We're excited to connect with you all and share what we've achieved in the last year! The Bitcoin Conference

Excited to see the Bitcoin Dollar (BTD) featured in the latest Blockworks / Blockworks Research article: "🤌 HODL BTC, borrow USD" It highlights the shift towards decentralized, censorship-resistant Bitcoin-backed loans and stablecoins using Liquity V2

We’ll have a paper soon — Liam Eagen dropped some alpha in this fantastic talk: youtu.be/X6mtGtumdGY new approach: -> moves nearly all of bitvm2’s on-chain data & compute off-chain. -> improves economics of

Trillions in BTC waiting to be tapped into.

Bitcoin’s future depends on scalable rollup and L2 solutions. In an interview with nic carter, he explains Castle Island Ventures’s bet on Alpen, inspired by innovations from other chains and how these advances are inevitable and existential for Bitcoin. Watch the full interview

Nic Carter: The most important thing that's ever happened in blockchains is uniting Bitcoin's collateral base with rollup assurances and programmability. It will throw the rest of the ecosystem into absolute chaos as Bitcoin reaches its destiny. 0:00:40 Karate Combat & Bitcoin

We're releasing bitcoind-async-client: a standalone, async RPC client for bitcoind in Rust. 👉 Built for high-performance parallelism 👉 Fully async + non-blocking 👉 Supports latest bitcoind (v29) 👉 Supports wallet RPCs Ready for Bitcoin builders 🧡 bit.ly/bd-a-c

Lots of recent "BitVM" breakthroughs and announcement(s). The core 1-of-N trust assumption still holds, but nearly every other tradeoff is being chipped away. I'll describe it all below. -- Disclaimer: This post is a bit dense if you're not in the weeds of BitVM already and

Private payments with decentralized money was what initially motivated Liam Eagen. He argues adding private payments to Bitcoin is important for having a durable form of privacy, given its deep integration into the traditional financial system. "You can't ban #Bitcoin"

The traditional financial system is broken and limited. "This is the kind of stuff that we’re working on: being able to solve cool problems that have a huge impact on society.” - Aaron Feickert, Research Engineering Lead Come solve them with us: job-boards.greenhouse.io/alpenlabs

📓 The Alpen testnet documentation is now live! Get a deep look into the architecture powering our upcoming testnet platform, including our latest 1-of-N Bitcoin bridge 👇

Our new docs provide a comprehensive view of the Alpen network's evolving design as it moves toward mainnet. Alpen's sequencer, full nodes & prover have undergone key changes from devnet, along with the introduction of bundler & bridge operator nodes. docs.alpenlabs.io

You'll find an in-depth view of Alpen's testnet system architecture, which lays the foundation for scalable, programmable & private layers on Bitcoin. In the data flow diagram below, we've shown the relationship between the three key layers: applications, Alpen & Bitcoin.
