Alchemy powers Alpen testnet as primary Bitcoin infra provider
Alchemy is the primary infrastructure provider for Alpen, a Bitcoin-native, EVM-compatible validity rollup built by Alpen Labs for on-chain finance. Alpen's testnet is now live, with Alchemy providing RPC endpoints and WebSockets so developers can read data and send transactions using familiar EVM tooling — without running their own nodes.
In a repost, Alpen Labs framed the partnership as the path to the "next major Bitcoin financial product": the team says it is working with Alchemy to give wallet and app developers best-in-class infrastructure to build on Alpen, adding "Build on Bitcoin's financial system with tools from Alchemy."
- Alpen uses zero-knowledge proofs to inherit Bitcoin's security, with BTC as its gas token
- Targets Bitcoin-secured finance: lending, borrowing, trading, and stablecoins
- Alchemy is Alpen's primary infra provider from the testnet stage; testnet live with no node operation required
