RGB v0.11.1 Goes Live:
Bringing Tokenized Assets to Bitcoin and Lightning
17 July 2025 – The official release of RGB v0.11.1 is now live on Bitcoin mainnet, unlocking a new chapter in Bitcoin’s evolution: tokenized assets and programmable contracts, all without leaving the Bitcoin ecosystem.
RGB allows anyone to create, send, and manage digital assets, including stablecoins, NFTs, and community tokens, directly on Bitcoin and the Lightning Network.
Built for Bitcoin, Without Compromises
RGB is designed to bring powerful tokenization tools to Bitcoin while preserving its foundational principles: decentralization, privacy, and self-custody. Developers and users can now build advanced financial products without relying on any other external blockchain.
RGB operates with no trusted third parties, no federations, no validators, and no coordinators. All assets are anchored to Bitcoin and validated off-chain via client-side validation - enabling privacy and scalability without compromising trust.
What RGB Enables
With RGB now live, builders and users can:
-Issue their own tokens and digital assets on Bitcoin;
-Send and receive them securely and privately;
-Build programmable contracts without relying on third parties;
-Use Lightning for fast, low-fee asset transfers;
-Avoid platform risk and stay fully within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
This release lays the foundation for a new generation of wallets, marketplaces, apps, and protocols, all powered by Bitcoin, and fully under user control.
