RGB and Lightning Network Compatibility

When an RGB state transaction is committed into a Bitcoin transaction and like this can be part of payment channel. In simple words, each new RGB state transition can committed inside in a channel to move RGB assets.

How works? Part.1

Alice open channel with Bob providing 10k satoshis and 500 USDT. The RGB commitment is added in a dedicate OP_RETURN output. Remember: With Taproot this could also be done.

RGB and Lightning: Part.2

After commitment transaction signed by Alice is ready to be broadcast by Bob.

HTLCs output works with RGB channels too.

Game Changer on Bitcoin

Since update the applications on RGB like Bitmask, BitDEX, MyCitadel and Iris will be benefit and allow your products was present for mass adoption.
