Strata

Enabling a thousand layers on Bitcoin. To power @AlpenLabs, @Starknet and many more financial systems on Bitcoin.

[Strata @Strata_BTC]

Strata is evolving! The platform's execution layer is now named Alpen.

Strata's focus is now building the most secure & practical bridging protocol for Bitcoin 🌠 Strata will first power Alpen with the most secure programmable BTC.

Follow @AlpenLabs & learn more below 🧡

[Alpen @AlpenLabs]

Today, we're unveiling the name of our platform's execution layer: Alpen.

We're taking a meaningful step in our roadmap to make Bitcoin the foundation for financial innovation. 🧵

[Alpen @AlpenLabs]

Financial markets don't emerge from protocols alone.

They require the tooling stack that developers and fintechs can build on with confidence.

We've partnered with @WakeUpLabs to deliver the infrastructure stack needed to unlock financial markets on Bitcoin.

[WakeUp Labs @wakeuplabs]

Building programmability onto Bitcoin requires new infrastructure paradigms.

We've been partnering with @AlpenLabs to help make this possible across:

• Explorers
• Multisig tooling
• Wallet integrations
• Testnet validation

Fintechs aren’t deciding whether to offer Bitcoin anymore.

They’re deciding which infrastructure they trust to scale BTC finance for millions long term, says @david_seroy.

[Alpen @AlpenLabs]

BTC credit could compete with the Eurodollar system.

→ Eurodollars created a global credit layer around USD
→ BTC credit could create one around Bitcoin collateral

A transparent, globally accessible challenger is emerging • Chapter 7 of 7

With Mosaic, Alpen Mainnet will bring verifiable financial markets to Bitcoin.

[Alpen @AlpenLabs]

Introducing Mosaic 💥🔫

A practical fault-proof verifier implemented in Rust, with security strong enough to host financial markets on Bitcoin.

Mosaic realizes the Glock paper's vision at a low onchain cost.

[Alpen @AlpenLabs]

Institutions are no longer just asking how to hold Bitcoin.

They’re asking:
→ How to borrow against it
→ How to move between BTC & stablecoins efficiently
→ How to do this within compliant infrastructure

@david_seroy explains this transition to @januszg_ at Bitcoin 2026.

[Alpen @AlpenLabs]

UX is the bottleneck to financial markets on Bitcoin.

→ Custodial = easy, but high trust
→ Non-custodial = secure, but complex

Account abstraction, however, collapses this tradeoff • Chapter 6 of 7

[Alpen @AlpenLabs]

How Bitcoin evolves at L1 directly shapes what��s possible at L2.

@david_seroy unpacks the real tradeoffs behind opcodes, policy, and protocol design in this panel with @JeremyRubin, @ekrembal & @MrKukks.

Whiteboard on KelpDAO hack, LayerZero, and Arbitrum drama.

Shows how hack occurred, how Arbitrum rugged DPRK and what in crpypto is DINO (decentralized in name only) versus real censorship resistance.

Does privacy matter in bridges?

Aaron Feickert breaks down the nuances using the Strata bridge, which securely moves BTC to Alpen's EVM environment for financial markets to use.

[Alpen @AlpenLabs]

We’re attesting to our participation in @SuccinctLabs SP1’s Groth16 trusted setup ceremony.

By securely destroying our our secret contribution, we help enable cheap SNARK verification on Bitcoin with minimal onchain footprint.

[Alpen @AlpenLabs]

Financial markets on Bitcoin need high-performance data infrastructure.

We’re bringing it to Alpen with @helloSQD: the onchain data layer.

[sqd.ai @helloSQD]

Building Bitcoin’s financial system requires world-class data infrastructure.

That’s why we’re proud to partner with @AlpenLabs, bringing their chain to SQD’s Data Lake & indexing tools for builders.

Bitcoin’s financial system is coming online. 🏔

Alpen engineering wizard @storopoli dives into:

▸ Quantum computing
▸ Google’s new paper
▸ The fate of Satoshi’s coins

In conversation with @GuiAmadoGomes (@ORANJEBTC) & @edil_medeiros (@Vinteum_org) 🇧🇷

[Alpen @AlpenLabs]

The cheapest credit flows to the lowest-trust systems.

→ Lower custody risk
→ Lower oracle risk
→ Lower governance risk

That’s how onchain BTC credit compresses risk & drives rates down • Chapter 5 of 7

[Simanta Gautam 🏔️ @simanta]

CRQC is an important enough risk to warrant more attention & resources now

we’ll do our part at @AlpenLabs to ensure bitcoiners will have options

most critically: any collective action for handling satoshi-era vulnerable coins must not violate bitcoin’s core principles.
