SUBFROST Is Its L0.](https://subfrost.io/articles/the-case-for-l0-on-bitcoin): Bitcoin is the hardest place to run an application, and the hardest place to move value back out of. Alkanes takes L1 as far as consensus allows; L0 is the layer above it. A general-purpose consensus of signers, native to Bitcoin, that mediates value across every chain, and how SUBFROST builds it. - [Staging Quantum from QUBITCOIN: A Memory-Safe Rewrite of Bitcoin Core](https://subfrost.io/articles/staging-quantum-from-qubitcoin): BlackRock, Coinbase, and seven others just pledged $15M to Bitcoin's security, but the fund explicitly won't touch the protocol, and it all flows to one C++ codebase. The security upgrade money can't buy is a second, memory-safe implementation of the Bitcoin standard. That's why SUBFROST is open-sourcing qubitcoin, a 1:1 Rust port of Bitcoin Core. - [Every Stablecoin Has an Off-Switch. frUSD Doesn't.](https://subfrost.io/articles/frusd-off-switch-free-finance): The stablecoin market's fatal flaw is the issuer: one party that can freeze any balance on demand. frUSD is backed by vault tokens, custodied by federated signing groups, and composed straight into Bitcoin transactions. It's the next move in a longer game: a decentralized BTC/USD spot market that settles on proof-of-work. - [SUBFROST P2P Lending](https://subfrost.io/articles/a-loan-in-one-bitcoin-transaction): A walkthrough of P2P lending on the SUBFROST webapp. - [Alkanes by the Numbers](https://subfrost.io/articles/alkanes-by-the-numbers): Every chart on our live metrics page, with the story behind it.
