RGB<\/a> v0.11.1 has been launched on the Bitcoin mainnet, facilitating the introduction and administration of digital assets such as stablecoins, NFTs, and tokens directly on Bitcoin and the Lightning Network.<\/p>\n

RGB functions as a smart contract and tokenization protocol that employs client-side validation to authenticate transactions without the need for intermediaries. It operates independently of trusted third parties, validators, or federations. Assets are anchored to Bitcoin<\/a> but validated off-chain, ensuring enhanced scalability and privacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe launch of RGB represents more than just a technical achievement \u2014 it\u2019s a pivotal moment,\u201d remarked Viktor Ihnatiuk<\/a>, Co-Founder of Boosty Labs<\/a> and the RGB Association<\/a>. \u201cWith RGB\u2019s programmability and privacy coupled with the scalability of Lightning, and in light of a renewed Bitcoin bull market, the industry may finally come to the realization that we no longer require Ethereum, Solana, or any other blockchain to create impactful decentralized products. We now possess everything \u2014 and it\u2019s based on Bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n

RGB v0.11.1 Is Now Live:
Introducing Tokenized Assets to Bitcoin and Lightning<\/p>\n

17 July 2025 \u2013 The official rollout of RGB v0.11.1 is now operational on Bitcoin mainnet, opening a fresh chapter in Bitcoin\u2019s progression: tokenized assets and programmable contracts, all without exiting the\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/4AUyk4GNP2<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWith RGB now operational on Bitcoin mainnet<\/a>, the tools surrounding native, programmable assets have become a reality,\u201d stated the Founder of Bitmask & RGB Protocol Association Gideon Nwzem. \u201cWe\u2019ve transitioned from prototypes to authentic products \u2013 Bitmask currently supports RGB20, and this is merely the start. This heralds a new era for tokenized Bitcoin real-world assets and the shift of the global financial landscape toward the Bitcoin Standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

This release allows users to generate, transmit, and receive assets on Bitcoin, utilize programmable contracts, and transfer tokens via Lightning with minimal fees. The update also accommodates asset issuance and trading entirely within the Bitcoin ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe potential of RGB on Bitcoin is unleashed by Lightning Network<\/a>. Lnfi enables DeFi for multi-asset Lightning, delivering the efficient, scalable settlement layer necessary for advanced financial applications, high-volume trading, asset management, and stablecoin liquidity,\u201d noted the Founder of LNFI & RGB Protocol Association Darius. \u201cWe\u2019re establishing the core infrastructure so projects can launch powerful RGB applications from the very beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

The RGB Protocol Association was officially unveiled on July 14, as a joint initiative by principal players pioneering the protocol, including Bitfinex, Fulgur Ventures, Bitmask by DIBA, Plan B Network, Boosty Labs, Kaleidoswap, ThunderStack, Bitcoin Tribe, and LNFI.<\/p>\n

Up to now, numerous enterprises built upon RGB have already been introduced, such as:<\/p>\n
