RGB Lightning Node v0.0.3 is now live. Public repo: This release focuses on wallet security and client lifecycle management — laying the groundwork for a production-ready self-custodial experience. Key updates: — Wallet Security: Password-protected wallet creation and import. Mnemonic backup now available in Settings with password verification. — Client Lock: Lock the control panel when stepping away. Password required to resume. — Exit Flow: Clean exit confirmation with proper session teardown. The RGB Lightning Node is becoming a complete desktop environment for managing tokenized assets over Bitcoin's Lightning Network — not just a dev tool, but a product. Make Bitcoin Smart.

RGB super-compatibility is not a promise but an engineering discipline enforced with zero tolerance for regression. RGB on Lightning: Walking with Upstream While the previous release proved that RGB could connect to Lightning through full LDK state machine compliance, 1,019 tests, and CLN/LND interoperability, the latest release now answers the harder question of whether RGB can evolve at Lightning's pace without friction — and it does. We synced our upstream dependencies with the Lightning mainline, absorbing 16 medium-or-higher security fixes, including critical vulnerabilities that were never backported. We’ve formalised this approach as bLIP-0070, encoding super-compatibility at the protocol layer via feature bits 826 (mandatory) and 827 (optional), along with TLV type 827167. Compatibility only earns the right to the real work of making Lightning’s most advanced primitives asset-native: Splice support, already live in BTC channels, will extend to RGB channels for adjusting capacity without closing, while Async Payments and offline receipt of value will carry over to RGB assets, and JIT liquidity will follow—all without bridges, custodial wrappers, or separate networks, leaving simply the Lightning Network with RGB as its invisible programmable layer. Compatibility is not pitched as a feature; it is shipped as infrastructure, making Bitcoin smart.

RGB Lightning Node v0.0.2 is now live. Public repo: This release introduces a fully redesigned control panel with meaningful improvements to both usability and protocol-level functionality. Key updates: — Wallet: Rebuilt Receive and Send flows with native support for RGB asset import/export. Transaction history now surfaces asset transfer metadata. — Node Management: Connect and disconnect Lightning nodes directly from the UI. Open and close channels with streamlined UX. — RLN Initialization: New node creation flow with clear visualization of local and remote node topology. — RGB Asset Detail View: Extended metadata display with UTXO binding visibility for RGB assets — enabling users to inspect the on-chain anchoring of off-chain state. We continue to build at the intersection of Lightning and client-side validated smart contracts. The infrastructure for tokenized assets over Bitcoin is not theoretical — it is shipping. Make Bitcoin Smart.

RGB Faucet claiming has resumed. After this claiming round ends, we will take a snapshot of $RGB holders within a few days. During the snapshot period, Bitlight Wallet’s transfer function will be restricted on the frontend to prevent balance changes. You can bypass the frontend to transfer assets, but your snapshot data may be affected.

RGB Faucet Claim Resumption Notice We will resume RGB Faucet claims at 17:00 UTC on 20 Sep. This round will distribute all remaining $RGB in the Faucet. Upon completion of the claim period, a snapshot will be taken. Important: - Strict anti-bot measures will be enforced. Any detected bot activity will be dealt with seriously, including disqualification and other penalties. - Please ensure you are using Bitlight Wallet v1.2.1 or higher to complete your claim.

@CoachDaveAranda @RGIII Coach, I *may* have previously posted your home address so people could put FOR SALE signs in your yard. Hand Raised, that *allegedly* was my bad. - HOWEVER, WHY ARE YOU ACTIVE ON TWITTER!
