📢 From Managed to Self-Hosted: Giving Node Data Ownership Back to Users Stash Cloud has always auto-backed up managed nodes. It’s a platform-side default: node data lands on independent storage on a regular schedule, so when a machine fails, a container crashes, or a mis-op corrupts data, we can restore the node to the latest usable state — usually without the user noticing. This layer is on by default; users don’t have to do anything. But that solves service availability, not ownership. Auto-backups live in the infrastructure provider’s storage, managed by the provider, restored when the provider decides. They stop most technical failures — except one: a user who wants to keep their own node data and run an RGB Lightning node without depending on any infrastructure provider. This blog covers our exploration and practice of moving RGB Lightning nodes from cloud-managed to self-hosted. 🔗

Stash Labs Official Q&A on Recent Community Questions We've received feedback from many users about Stash Labs recently. Here is our unified response 👇 On Support for $RGB and Listing Plans: The Stash Labs team has been an early supporter and user of $RGB since day one. We have been deeply involved in large-scale mainnet testing of $RGB — so there is no doubt that $RGB will be the first token listed on both: ✅ AMM Swap (Powered by ✅ Order Book Spot Trading (Powered by Flash Dex) On the PUMP Model Design: The PUMP model is designed to solve the AMM liquidity cold-start problem. Without the PUMP mechanism, a token faces severe initial liquidity constraints. Providing RLSP liquidity requires users to hold both BTC and RGB tokens at the same time, which discourages early LP participation and makes traditional AMM hard to run effectively. This is also why the BTC ecosystem has historically preferred order-book trading, which has lower liquidity requirements. The model itself is neutral. What matters is using it correctly at the right time. Our measures: ✅ Open the PUMP model with conditions and limits — not a blind full rollout ✅ Continuously optimize related strategies based on community feedback Furthermore, PUMP is only one of the launch solutions we support. We already support multiple token launch mechanisms, including Fair Mint and Dutch Auction, and will keep introducing new launch models to bring more vitality to the ecosystem. On the Product Name: We don't believe a product should be judged as similar to another platform merely because the names look alike. Please remember: we have capabilities that other protocols do not. That said, given the volume of community feedback, the team has still made a courageous decision — we will rename the product. Stash Labs is a community-driven project. We are glad to listen to the community. Within the team's principles, maximizing the fulfillment of community needs is why this team exists. The new name is not yet finalized, so we are now open to community name suggestions! 🎁 Reward Details Users whose suggested name is officially adopted will receive 300 $RGB as an additional reward. ⚠️ This reward is stackable — users who have previously received any reward may still participate and win again. 📌 The final new name will be selected from comment submissions. If yours is not chosen, please don't be discouraged — we will launch more community reward events in the future! How to participate: Follow our official account first, then leave your name suggestion in the comments! 👇

Why JIT Liquidity + Splice Are Critical for Atomic Swaps @BitlightLabs has released the latest update on staying in sync with Lightning development progress, while also introducing several new features planned for future support. @rgbstashlabs provides an in-depth explanation of two key features from this roadmap, along with further context on their significance for Stash Labs products such as RLSP, and Flash Dex. 🔥 Two Core Capabilities Explained: • JIT liquidity for RGB: just-in-time RGB asset channel opening • Splice for RGB: dynamic capacity adjustment of RGB asset channels Building on our RLSP + Atomic Swap capabilities, is about to launch native asset swap trading. However, the current RGB Lightning Network pipeline has key pain points: When a user completes a $RGB buy order via RLN and RLSP, two channels must be opened sequentially: ✅ User opens a BTC channel to pay BTC to the RLSP ✅ RLSP opens a BTC/RGB composite channel to deliver $RGB to the user Three Major Drawbacks of the Current Model: 1⃣ Dual channel opening requires waiting for Bitcoin mainnet block confirmations — typically 6 confirmations — resulting in extremely high transaction latency. 2⃣ Channel capacity is fixed. Once the balance is insufficient for the next transaction, the old channel must be closed and a new one rebuilt — a costly process with high fees and a fragmented user experience. 3⃣ The current model is completely unable to support high-frequency continuous trading scenarios like FlashDex perpetual contracts, severely limiting the RGB ecosystem's trading experience. 🚀 JIT Liquidity | On-Demand RGB Channel Opening JIT (Just-In-Time) liquidity — the core principle is to create on demand, with no pre-lockup required: ▸ Users don't need to pre-fund or manually create RGB asset channels; ▸ When initiating a $RGB receive/swap request, the RLSP instantly generates a virtual off-chain channel — no immediate on-chain settlement needed; ▸ After the first transaction is completed, it is automatically anchored on-chain and converted into an official RGB Lightning channel. 💡 Core Value: • Zero-barrier entry to RGB asset swaps — no idle capital lockup. • Dramatically reduced transaction wait times, eliminating mainnet block confirmation delays. • Enables users to complete $RGB transactions as seamlessly as Lightning BTC, while maximizing RLSP capital efficiency. 🛠 Splice for RGB | Dynamic Capacity Adjustment for RGB Asset Channels Built on the Lightning Network's native Channel Splicing technology, allowing RGB asset channels to be resized without closing or rebuilding: ▸ Splice-in (expand): Add BTC/RGB assets directly to an existing channel; ▸ Splice-out (shrink): Withdraw idle funds from the channel as needed; ▸ The channel remains uninterrupted throughout — no trading pauses required. Only the funding transaction is updated via signatures, requiring a single on-chain confirmation. 💡 Core Value: • Permanently eliminates the old pattern of "close and reopen a channel when the balance runs out". • Seamlessly supports high-frequency continuous trading, enabling FlashDex perpetual contract scenarios. • Significantly reduces on-chain fees from repeatedly opening/closing channels, improving capital turnover and utilization. 🔗 Synergy of Three — Redefining the Atomic Swap Experience • RLSP + Atomic Swap: Powers the underlying asset swap logic. • JIT: Solves the "0 to 1" problem — no pre-built channels, instant trade initiation. • Splice: Solves the "1 to N" problem — dynamic channel scaling to support high-frequency continuous trading. With JIT + Splice landing together, the current pain points of RGB channels — high latency, cumbersome workflows, and the inability to support high-frequency trading — will be fully resolved. This lays a solid infrastructure foundation — high performance, low barriers, and high liquidity — for upcoming Atomic Swap and ecosystem derivatives trading. 🚀 It is worth noting that these two features will not affect the launch timeline — they serve purely as a leap forward in user experience.

We have published the full engineering design behind native RGB Swaps on the Lightning Network. The swap is not a separate protocol layered on top of Lightning — it is a property of the payment path itself. A single circular route, one payment_hash, zero external coordination. Atomicity is not enforced by an additional contract; it falls out naturally from Lightning's preimage settlement. This design handles non-monotonic value flows across multi-asset channels, affects commitment construction, HTLC state management, and client-side transfer history at the architectural level. The RGB Lightning Network has reached production-grade engineering. Large-scale testing begins now. Make Bitcoin Smart.
