最新报道:Alpen has launched its public testnet, showcasing a Bitcoin-native financial system that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) on the Bitcoin network. The platform aims to expand Bitcoin's utility beyond a store of value by integrating features like tokenization and decentralized finance (DeFi). Developers can now test Alpen's layer-2 solution, which uses Bitcoin as its base asset while maintaining security through Bitcoin's proof-of-work consensus. The testnet release marks a step toward making Bitcoin more programmable and interoperable with other blockchain ecosystems.
