RGB Lightning Node v0.0.4 Released: Full UTXO Management Support — Control Panel: github.com/bitlightlabs/rgb-… — API: github.com/bitlightlabs/rgb-… — CLI: github.com/bitlightlabs/rgb-… We are pleased to announce the release of RGB Lightning Node v0.0.4, introducing comprehensive UTXO management capabilities that provide users with granular control over their Bitcoin UTXOs for RGB protocol operations. This release focuses on UTXO lifecycle management — a critical infrastructure layer for efficient RGB asset issuance, transfer, and on-chain resource optimization. Key Features: • UTXO Overview — Monitor all UTXOs with real-time status tracking, linked RGB asset visibility, and available operation context. • Create UTXOs — Generate dedicated UTXOs purpose-built for RGB asset issuance, transfer, and management workflows. • Unlock UTXOs — Release reserved UTXOs and consolidate funds back into available wallet balance for flexible resource allocation. • Increase UTXO Capacity — Expand the funding capacity of existing UTXOs to support higher-throughput RGB asset transactions. Efficient UTXO management is foundational to scalable RGB protocol operations on the Lightning Network. This release enables developers and node operators to optimize their on-chain footprint while maintaining full control over asset-linked transaction outputs. Make Bitcoin Smart.

The development of item 1-6 are all done. Everyone will be able to deploy a token (with flexible DMT element registry), redirect the allocation of the block reward and trade the token on BitDEX. We are working on the final internal testing now. Once it is done, we will invite a few ecosystem partners to help test the whole protocol before we launch the public beta. The screenshot below is a test interface of BitDEX that is connecting to the BIT protocol with a test token deployed. The data is empty as we just deployed the BitDEX test build version (dev mode, not in production mode).

Implementing End of Emissions, Token Buyback & Burn, Closure of TGP Following approval of the ALEX governance proposal, the next steps are as follows: 🔸 End of Emissions Farming and staking rewards will conclude at Cycle #409, 32 cycles from the current Cycle #377. After this point, no new $ALEX will be issued. 🔸 TGP Wind-Down A final 30-day grace period for remaining TGP 2024 claims will run from June 1 to July 1. After this period, TGP 2024 will formally close. TGP 2025 obligations have already been fully discharged. 🔸 Buyback & Burn Approximately 1.49M STX remains unclaimed in the TGP treasury, subject to reduction as additional claims are made during the grace period. Following TGP closure, these funds, together with future protocol revenue after essential operating expenses, will be used to buy back and burn $ALEX at market prices. This marks ALEX’s transition from an inflationary token model to a deflationary one.

RGB协议（05/29） 1. 关于RGB Payjoin @Rgb__Market 更新将要支持 #RGB Payjoin交易模式，我解释一下这个模式： ▪️Payjoin这个方式是 @BitlightLabs 提出的RGB资产在主网的非托管交易形式，技术方案详见： blog.bitlightlabs.com/payjoi… ▪️我看到有人说这种方式需要“在线”，其实这个在线跟大家想象中的在线不一样，不是说你要一直守在那，是你需要参与到整个过程的几次交互中（比如一方构建psbt，另一方完善psbt，一方签名，另一方签名然后广播），类似于我们购物那种“下单-付款-发货”（不一定类比的对啊）这种在线的意思，在有社交信息配合的情况下，只是麻烦了些，但是非托管 ▪️如果他们能推出这个方式的市场，会增加他们在RGB生态中的占位 2. 关于RLN RLN主网上线了不是说像“破纪录”那种一个点一样，而是一个过程，RLN主网也需要大规模的测试，从而找出可能存在的问题，然后才是稳定的RLN主网版本，这是协议走向生产级必须要经历的 所以，可以把RLN主网上线当作一个突破性的事件来看待，但是要明白它不是一蹴而就的 我也在思考如何能帮助进行大规模测试，也许可以搞一个 ”RGB火炬计划” 快速的增加RLN的使用来助力测试 3. 关于RGB资产的转移形式 RGB的交易形式跟传统的形式不同，所以有些人觉得不适应，其实这种交易形式有自己很独特的好处： ▪️每个人的地址就相当于自己的“家”，在一般的区块链系统中，别人可以随便往你家里丢垃圾，甚至丢带毒的垃圾，你不会觉得这是很无语的事情吗？而RGB的这种转移形式就完全规避了这个问题，我的“家”我做主，别人是进不来的，哪怕是转移也是一次性的授权，我规定的资产，我规定的数量 ▪️这种形式还解决了另外一个问题：不会转错，想一想每年有多少人因为转错而丢失了多少资产 ▪️更不要说这种方式的隐私性是多么强，对于有些人来说，隐私才是最重要的事情，而不是其他 4. 关于$RGB 很多人问目前 $RGB 的情况，我说一下我的核心看法： ▪️如果你相信 #RGB 协议，那么是需要非常关注 $RGB 的，因为如果RGB协议成功了，那么一定会有一个图腾出现，这个图腾必然是 $RGB ；如果你不相信，那么一定不要参与 ▪️目前的价格大概是$0.25,市值约$5M，考虑到约有30%的burn情况，实际市值约$3.5M ▪️RGB的上限在哪里，我真不知道，因为抬头看不到 投资有风险，所以任何投资都需要自己做好规划，并对自己的资金负责，其他人（也就是我）无法对你负责

NAT.FUN is live! We walk through @natdotfun, Vibe Studio, BlockPad, and why Bitcoin patterns are the foundation for a new token class. Bear-market timing is the point. Less noise, more signal for substance to shine. Build Different with us 🟧👇🏼 NAT.FUN is LIVE! Welcome To The Era of Digital Substance! In this episode, we finally launch @natdotfun and walk through everything behind it. What started as an idea during the quiet parts of the market has turned into a full platform built around a simple question: what if creators didn’t have to guess pricing, front-run their community, or rely on broken NFT mechanics to succeed? Instead of starting with arbitrary collections, NAT.FUN flips the model by letting tokens trade first, allowing real market demand to decide what gets created and what actually matters. We break down how the system works from the ground up. Tokens launch on a bonding curve, and if they reach a defined threshold, they graduate. At that point, NFTs are distributed to holders, and true price discovery begins. Everything is anchored to Bitcoin data, introducing a new class of assets called non-arbitrary tokens. This isn’t just a design choice; it’s a shift toward using the most secure on-chain data created by mankind as an immaculate creator substrate. A major part of the platform is the VIBE STUDIO, which opens the door for anyone to create. Instead of needing technical skills or a full team, you can use AI to generate, refine, and iterate on collections in real time. More importantly, you can do it in public. The market reacts as you build, giving immediate feedback through price and participation. That loop between creator and market is the core of the experience, and it changes how projects evolve from day one. We also explore how this ties into a bigger shift happening across crypto. NFTs didn’t fail because people lost interest in digital ownership. They failed because incentives were misaligned. Creators got paid upfront, communities were left holding risk, and there was no mechanism to sustain momentum. NAT.FUN is designed to realign that relationship by tying creator earnings to ongoing activity instead of a single launch moment. Underneath all of this is a deeper framework rooted in Bitcoin and Digital Matter Theory. The idea is that block data isn’t just historical record keeping, it’s a substrate for creation. Patterns within Bitcoin can be discovered, named, and turned into assets that evolve over time. That opens up a completely different way to think about tokens, NFTs, and even the creator economy itself. If you’re a builder, this is a new playground. If you’re a collector, this is a new way to participate in early ideas before they fully form. And if you’ve been watching crypto feel repetitive, this is an attempt to push things forward again. Right now, the platform is live, and what it becomes from here depends entirely on what people decide to build.

Our own DEX (bitdex[.]trade) has much more trading volume on $BIT than other platforms. Appreciate the trust and support! Once our protocol is live, we will split some bandwidth back to BitDEX to list more assets. Ultimately you will be able to trade any Bitcoin assets on it.

yes client-side validation was something @peterktodd and i were thinking about some years back, had a 4 hr voice call on the topic. @dr_orlovsky even has confidential transactions added in it for RGB assets.

Preview on BIT protocol. You can basically do anything you want in DMT. We are working very hard on it, proud to be part of this journey. The code is private source for now due to security reasons. Once it is ready for public testing, we will open source the code. $BIT 🔥
