Glock: A new standard for verification on Bitcoin
Over the last few months, Alpen Labs’ focus has rapidly evolved to a new frontier of minimal-trust verification on Bitcoin. Next week, we will unveil Glock, short for garbled lock or garbled circuit-based lock. Glock is a new cryptographic primitive that creates a new standard for verifying offchain computation on Bitcoin, with minimal onchain cost.
