$LIGHT Airdrop Claiming — Phase I is now live. In this phase, eligibility includes $RGB holders and users who have created mainnet UTXOs and interacted with the RGB Faucet. The RGB Faucet—Bitlight Labs’ first interactive application on RGB mainnet—supported the protocol’s first million-scale stress test. As the first test asset on RGB, $RGB will continue to receive long-term airdrop incentives as the RGB protocol and the Bitlight ecosystem grow. It will also serve as a core asset across key initiatives, including (but not limited to) a decentralized RGB asset marketplace, RGB–Lightning integration, RGB–zk integration, and a Lightning Network–based stablecoin payments network. If you weren’t eligible in this phase, don’t be discouraged. Our commitment to the RGB protocol and the Bitlight ecosystem is long-term and unwavering. A total of 50.64% of $LIGHT has been allocated to the RGB protocol, the Bitlight ecosystem, and the community, to be released gradually as the ecosystem matures. We build in cycles, not weeks. The RGB protocol and the Bitlight ecosystem are at the very beginning of their journey; realizing a global stablecoin payment network will take the steady, collective effort of Bitlight Labs, our peers across the RGB ecosystem, and dedicated community builders and supporters. We’re here for the long haul—focused, patient, and hopeful. We’ll keep shipping, listening, and improving. Thank you for being early and for believing in what we’re building. Together, we’ll make the vision real. Make Bitcoin Smart.
