Alpen Labs Aims to Scale Bitcoin with Zero-Knowledge Proofs and $10.6 Million Funding
Alpen Labs, a new player in the Bitcoin layer-2 development scene,
has emerged from stealth mode after securing $10.6 million in funding. Their focus is on leveraging zero-knowledge proofs, a technology more commonly associated with Ethereum, to scale the Bitcoin blockchain and enable functionalities like smart contracts. This could potentially address limitations on transaction speed and fees within the Bitcoin network.
