Alpen
Alpen provides a Bitcoin-native financial infrastructure platform that enables developers to integrate vaults, credit, and yield products directly into their applications. The platform offers programmable custody with multi-signature key management (e.g., 2-of-3), a JavaScript API, and an MCP surface at mcp://alpen/secure for programmatic vault creation and asset deposits. It supports both Bitcoin and USDC within vaults, with configurable permission limits.

Product
Problem
Traditional financial products lack Bitcoin-native security and programmability, forcing developers to choose between Bitcoin's robust security model and flexible, programmable financial applications. The complexity of implementing secure multi-signature vaults, credit, and yield mechanisms on Bitcoin creates high development costs and risks, limiting innovation in Bitcoin financial markets.
Solution
Alpen provides a Bitcoin-native financial infrastructure platform that enables developers to integrate vaults, credit, and yield products directly into their applications. Through its programmable custody layer, Alpen supports secure vault creation with flexible key management, including multi-signature (e.g., 2-of-3 key) configurations. The platform exposes an MCP surface at mcp://alpen/secure and a JavaScript API that allows developers to create vaults, deposit assets, and manage permissions programmatically. The vault interface on the website shows live balances across Bitcoin and USDC, along with configurable permission limits, illustrating the platform's operational capabilities. Alpen's approach brings Bitcoin-native security to a broader range of financial products while maintaining programmability through its developer-friendly interfaces.
Target Audience
Primary customers are developers and financial product teams building Bitcoin-native financial applications who need secure, programmable custody infrastructure for vaults, credit, and yield products.
