About RGB

The RGB Project is a completely free, open-source, non-profit and community-oriented effort aimed at the development of standards and best practices to issue, transmit and store digital assets issued in LNP/BP networks.

Basic information about the project can be provided by the developers in the RGB Telegram Group.

RGB is a based on a suite of LNP/BP standards, defined and being developed in the https://github.com/lnp-bp/lnpbps repository. The current version of the specification is outdated; it will be replaced with the new one once the required set of the underlying standards is completed.

The present parts of the RGB project under development include:

• LNPBPs: aforementioned set of core standards
• rust-lnpbp: core LNP/BP library implementing LNPBPS written in Rust
• lbx: command-line tool for performing basic operations (commitments etc) defined in LNP/BP standards; based on the rust-lnpbp library
• rust-rgb: library implementing wallet- and asset-specific functionality on top of generic client-validated state paradigm
• Kaleidoscope: reference command-line wallet for Bitcoin and RGB protocols
• Bifrost: server for storing client-validated data blobs. On hold.

In this repository you can browse the most recent version under this develop branch, which existed before it was split into the impending layered LNP/BP standards. You can also check a history of RGB development in the branches of the current repo:

• rgb-v0.4 branch – original specification created in 2018 by Alekos Fillini, Giacomo Zucco and contributors
• rgb-v0.5 branch – finalization on the original specification performed in the mid 2019 by Maxim Orlovsky

RGB protocol old specification, v0.9

1. Seals layer – a framework defining distributed state management mechanics used by RGB to issue and account issued assets on top of LNP/BP suite.
2. LightningNetwork – implementation of OpenSeals for Lightning Network channels
3. Wire protocol – wire protocol for OpenSeals P2P node communications
4. RGB – digital asset issuing and management based on OpenSeals framework
5. Spectrum – Lightning Network extension for asset liquidity provisioning (DEX)
6. ConfidentialAssets – confidential assets interoperability
