Replacing DeFi with Bitcoin Finance
summary
Released mid-summer, RGB protocol is a native smart-contract layer for Bitcoin and Lightning that runs off-chain with client-side validation, uses zero-knowledge bulletproofs and confidential transactions for privacy, and claims Turing-complete logic while keeping funds secured by Bitcoin script. A Bifrost upgrade adds Taproot/Schnorr, channel factories and multi-party channels; a Storm data network alpha provides decentralized storage, messaging and fee markets. Three nodes are released, three wallets in alpha, two dev kits and four exchanges planning integration; RGB development traces back to 2016.
