RGB has validation of the client side, which helps privacy in Bitcoin.
The governance of the protocol will fall on RGB Consortium, helping in its decentralization.
On July 10, 2025, the LNP/BP Standards Association announced the launch of RGB version 0.12, an intelligent contract protocol designed to operate on Bitcoin and Lightning Network, which is now ready for its deployment in the main network.
This development, led for six years By Maxim Orlovsky, coincides with the transfer of the governance of the protocol to the RGB Consortiuma non -profit organism that will assume the maintenance of consensus, leaving Free Orlovsky to explore new projects related to self -self -self -employed identity.
The new version introduces significant improvements, such as the integration of ZK-Stark, a cryptographic technology that optimizes the validation of transactions and reinforces privacy by reducing the need for data in the block chain.
Besides, V0.12 It offers forward compatibility for contracts, which means that future updates will not break the existing functionality, and requires that previous contracts be replaced to guarantee security and consistency.
These characteristics position protocol as a stable tool for developers and issuing that seek to implement digital assets in the main network and lightning.
RGB could be a new chapter for Bitcoin because its protocol is based on a validation model on the client’s side, where transactions and states of intelligent contracts They are verified locally by usersavoiding massive data on the network.
This allows greater scalability and privacy in Bitcoin (a characteristic that lacks) when using anchors in the main chain and the lightning network to compromise only summaries of operations.
The protocol, which has evolved from its conception, allows you to create from Stablecoins to property tokens, aligning with the tendency towards self -sustain identity, where Individuals control their assets without centralized intermediaries. In this sense, RGB is one of the protocols that are most aligned with the original Cypherpunk vision of Bitcoin and with its philosophy, especially in that It seeks to protect sovereignty about individual identity.
With the transfer to the RGB Consortium, the management of the protocol is decentralized, reflecting a change in its governance structure that seeks to maintain its independence. Orlovsky, in a post in X, stressed that this step marks the end of a personal stage and opens the door to initiatives such as Uvioletai, focused on digital sovereignty.
At the same time, companies like Pandora Prime They plan to launch RGB -based products, such as Ray Wallet and Lnusdtwhich suggests that the ecosystem around this technology is ready to expand, taking advantage of the stabilized v0.12 capabilities.
