Сообщение ChainCatcher, Tether готовит выпуск USDT на основе протокола RGB v0.11.1 в нативной сети Биткойн, коммерческим выпуском и распространением займется UTEXO. Это будет возвращение USDT на основную цепочку Биткойн спустя много лет после его первого появления в 2014 году через протокол Omni. Соучредитель UTEXO Виктор Ихнатиук заявил, что компания получила поддержку от Tether и отвечает за внедрение нативного USDT на Биткойне.Протокол RGB использует клиентскую валидацию (Client-side Validation) и сочетает это с сетью Lightning, что позволяет реализовать мгновенные, низкозатратные и приватные транзакции USDT, сохраняя при этом безопасность модели UTXO Биткойна. В будущем пользователи смогут напрямую держать USDT через нативные адреса Биткойн и использовать кошельки Lightning, поддерживающие RGB, для отправки и получения, не полагаясь на другие публичные цепочки или посредников. В отличие от текущих сетей с моделью аккаунтов, таких как TRON и Ethereum, где в основном обращается USDT, RGB использует модель UTXO, которая естественным образом поддерживает одноразовые адреса и сочетает это с сетью Lightning для оффлайн-платежей, что значительно повышает конфиденциальность транзакций. Кроме того, UTEXO глубоко интегрирован с Tether, что снижает затраты на посредников и сбор данных, а пользователи также могут низкозатратно конвертировать USDT между различными публичными цепочками через уже запущенный кросс-цепочный мост.

Solv Protocol announced a strategic integration with Utexo, launching a native Bitcoin yield solution based on the RGB protocol and the Lightning Network, enabling the conversion between native BTC and USDT through atomic swaps without the need for wrapping, cross-chain bridges, or custodians.This solution emphasizes self-custody, privacy protection, and final settlement, and aligns with Tether's previously announced plan to natively issue USDT on the RGB-compatible Lightning Network. Additionally, it was disclosed that Solv participated as a strategic angel investor in Utexo's $7.5 million seed round financing led by Tether.

The Bitcoin privacy stablecoin project Utexo has launched an adaptation layer that provides RGB support for Tether's Wallet Development Kit.This feature aims to address the architectural mismatch caused by client validation and improve the interoperability of the wallet SDK.

ChainCatcher news, according to Bitlight Labs, the developer of the RGB protocol infrastructure, the RGB mainnet is now live, supporting access to the RGB Faucet to mint test assets RGB and explore the native smart contract capabilities on the Bitcoin chain.

ChainCatcher news, the Lightning Network liquidity staking protocol UTXO Stack has completed its Series A financing with a valuation of $50 million, jointly invested by UTXO Management, CMS, and PAKA.After this round of financing, UTXO Stack will launch its first-ever large-scale airdrop incentive program targeting BTC liquidity within the Lightning Network in early January 2025. Subsequently, it will coordinate with the launch of the CKB Lightning Network Fiber Network mainnet to provide liquidity airdrop incentives for CKB and RGB++ related assets. The Token Generation Event (TGE) is expected to be completed in Q1 2025, marking the first TGE in the Lightning Network ecosystem.It is reported that UTXO Stack had previously completed a seed round of financing, co-led by ABCDE Capital and SNZ Capital, with participation from CKB Eco Fund, OKX Ventures, UTXO Management, Waterdrip Capital, Matrixport, y2z Ventures, and DRK Lab.

ChainCatcher news, the CKB Eco Fund announced a strategic partnership with Element to fully support the RGB++ Layer on the Element platform. Both parties will work together to promote the development of the BTC ecosystem while injecting new momentum into the CKB digital asset DOB ecosystem.As a new asset issuance layer for Bitcoin, the RGB++ Layer extends isomorphic binding, smart contract capabilities, and bridge-less cross-chain functionality to all UTXO chains, and is expected to drive the rise of Bitcoin finance (BTCFi) and the Bitcoin ecosystem. Element's comprehensive support for the RGB++ Layer will enable developers and users to more easily create and manage various RGB++ assets on the CKB chain, promoting the development of the digital asset DOB ecosystem.

ChainCatcher news, the first decentralized exchange (DEX) based on RGB++ Layer, UTXOSwap.xyz, has officially launched on the mainnet. UTXOSwap utilizes bridge-less cross-chain and smart contract functionalities, aiming to release liquidity for all assets on UTXO chains.UTXOSwap adopts an off-chain matching and on-chain verification model, allowing users' intent orders to be directly matched with AMM liquidity pools. In the future, the platform will also introduce third-party liquidity providers. Currently, UTXOSwap supports asset trading in the RGB++ and CKB ecosystems, with plans to expand to more UTXO ecosystem assets, striving to become an important infrastructure for Bitcoin finance (BiFi).

ChainCatcher news, according to a tweet from the RGB++ protocol author, RGB++ will upgrade to RGB++ Layer, which will feature cross-chain functionality without bridges and smart contract capabilities, extending to all UTXO chains.In addition, the RGB++ browser and DeFi infrastructure based on RGB++ Layer will also be launched soon. This will enable complex financial applications to be introduced on the Bitcoin layer, including UTXOSwap, Stable++, ccBTC, LST CKB, and more. At the same time, RGB++ Layer will also expand to other UTXO chains, such as BCH, BSV, and Dogecoin, and support other layer one asset protocols, such as Runes and BRC20.

ChainCatcher news, the decentralized identity protocol .bit under d.id announced the completion of the RGB++ upgrade. Leveraging the isomorphic binding feature of CKB, it has become a Bitcoin layer DID asset to serve the user identity needs of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
