Bitcoin's innovation era begins with Alpen.
💥🔫 Glock: A new standard for verification on Bitcoin Alpen Labs’ focus has rapidly evolved to a new frontier over the last few months. We'll soon unveil Glock, short for garbled lock, a primitive that takes the safety of Bitcoin-based systems to new heights.
The Bitcoin Dollar standard is coming for fiat. Hard dollar 🤝 Cypherpunk dollar
What if your dollars were backed by Bitcoin instead of thin air?💸 Bitcoin.com CEO Corbin Fraser breaks down the rise of #Bitcoin-backed stablecoins and why projects like @LiquityProtocol, @AlpenLabs & @AmpleforthOrg could reshape the future of money. Watch here 👇

Check out recent work eprint.iacr.org/2025/1325 with @rel_zeta_tech exploring the (known but imo under appreciated) IPA sumcheck connection. Allows connecting BaseFold/FRI with IPA in a neat way and an efficient decider for transparent accumulation & folding schemes
Glock is a game-changer for Bitcoin 🟠 Aaron shares his optimism on this new verification paradigm: cheaper, faster, leaner, cleaner, and far more elegant.
you should follow @jose_storopoli, our resident rust maxi at Alpen he just opened an X account!

Garbled circuits on Bitcoin are all the rage 🟠 But what are they and how do they make Glocks possible? Our Research Lead, Aaron Feickert, breaks it down for us in a minute.
Catch this great write-up by @btcinsider__ on one of the latest innovations from @blksresearch. Shielded CSV, developed by @n1ckler with contributors from @AlpenLabs and @ZeroSync_, is a pragmatic step toward more private and efficient BTC transactions. x.com/btcinsider__/s…
NEW FROM THE INSIDER EDITION: It might be Paper Bitcoin Summer, but some of us still want private, bitcoin payments. For his latest piece, @januszg_ covers Shielded CSV - a payments protocol that can be built on top of bitcoin. Tl;dr - it's scalable, pretty damn private, and…
Ecosystem Spotlight: @AlpenLabs Our gen-zk intern spent some time getting to know: @simanta_gautam
The two models of L2 tradeoffs from our Head of Ecosystem @david_seroy at @TheBitcoinConf: "Don't be evil" (trusting incentives) vs. "Can't be evil" (where cryptography makes stealing funds impossible). We're building for the "can't be evil" future with ZK-rollups.

hashlock -> static, combination lock glock -> dynamic, smart lock glocks are powerful and ~1000X more efficient at resolving challenges than BitVM2 we’re putting final touches on the paper + code. releasing soon.
