To lend against Bitcoin, you need prices you can rely on. Alpen is building credit markets that settle on Bitcoin. RedStone is the data layer underneath them.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

Most of Binance hack was stablecoins, which have been frozen. But, if hacker was able to post stablecoins as collateral in Aave, then borrow ETH, it's a major issue. Especially since ETH is rehypothecated in Aave. Same issue as rsETH hack.

looks like binance exploiter borrowed about 20,000 WETH against USDT collateral via @aave

CIRCLE’S $USDC IS COMING TO BITCOIN THROUGH ALPEN Alpen is partnering with Circle to bring native, Circle-issued USDC and CCTP to its Bitcoin financial system when mainnet launches. The integration will allow BTC holders to borrow, lend and trade using regulated dollar stablecoin liquidity without selling their Bitcoin or moving it to another network. CCTP will connect Alpen with other supported networks, enabling USDC to move cross-chain without wrapped representations for swaps, payments and treasury rebalancing.

PSA 🚨 -- Shielded Bitcoin, ShieldedCSV, EVM, Simplicity, RGB, Arkade, (not) Trustless Vaults, UTEXO, Any other blockchain, etc all require a ZK verifier, also known as a bridge. You either trust a federation or pursue a ZK verifier, period.
