Bitcoin wallet to support #RGB assets. #LightningNetwork compatibility soon.

[Bitlight Wallet⚡️ @Bitlight_wallet]

They said programmable Bitcoin on Lightning was years away. We built it today.

Introducing Bitlight RLN. We haven’t just built a client; we’ve unlocked the final form of the Lightning Network. For the first time in history, RGB asset issuance and transfer are seamlessly integrated into Lightning.

We are doing to Bitcoin assets what broadband did to the internet. Instant. Frictionless. Limitless.

Issue assets. Open channels. Transfer at the speed of light. Settle with Bitcoin's ultimate security.

The era of whitepapers and testnet illusions is over. The future of Bitcoin finance just shipped.

Witness the paradigm shift. Watch the walkthrough and try it on your own.

Make Bitcoin Smart.

Bitlight Wallet v1.3.0

We've shipped three targeted improvements in this release:

- PayJoin fee optimization: resolved an edge case where transaction construction produced unnecessarily elevated fee rates.
- Rebroadcast logic refinement: transactions now propagate with greater reliability under adverse network conditions.
- Custom API error handling: Esplora exceptions are now surfaced with structured error codes, improving debuggability for integrators.

As always, we build for precision.

Bitlight Labs has completed its Bitcoin Infrastructure Modernization — upgrading from Bitcoin Core 28.x to v31.0 and deploying Cluster Mempool across our stack.

Full technical write-up:
https://t.co/FXzslCZXMH

What changed:

→ Cluster Mempool replaces per-transaction tracking with cluster-based evaluation. Transactions are now grouped and ordered by chunk feerate, enabling more accurate block template construction and stricter RBF semantics.

→ Fee estimation precision improved from 1 sat/vB to 0.1 sat/vB — reducing overpayment in low-fee environments for wallets and protocol-level settlement.

→ mempool-electrs upgraded to v3.3.0 with multi-tier fee estimation (fastest / halfHour / hour / economy / minimum), while preserving full backward compatibility with existing electrs endpoints.

→ Private broadcast support via Tor/I2P for transaction relay, reducing originating IP leakage.

→ Default dbcache increased to 1024 MB on 4GB+ systems, improving sync and validation performance.

For RGB Layer2 infrastructure, this means more predictable CPFP/RBF behavior, cleaner fee selection for on-chain settlement, and a stronger foundation for commitment transactions.

Our approach: stay close to upstream, reduce unnecessary abstraction, build where the protocol is actually moving.

RGB super-compatibility is not a promise but an engineering discipline enforced with zero tolerance for regression.

RGB on Lightning: Walking with Upstream
https://t.co/lXvjEkEYlG

While the previous release proved that RGB could connect to Lightning through full LDK state machine compliance, 1,019 tests, and CLN/LND interoperability, the latest release now answers the harder question of whether RGB can evolve at Lightning's pace without friction — and it does.

We synced our upstream dependencies with the Lightning mainline, absorbing 16 medium-or-higher security fixes, including critical vulnerabilities that were never backported.

We’ve formalised this approach as bLIP-0070, encoding super-compatibility at the protocol layer via feature bits 826 (mandatory) and 827 (optional), along with TLV type 827167.

Compatibility only earns the right to the real work of making Lightning’s most advanced primitives asset-native: Splice support, already live in BTC channels, will extend to RGB channels for adjusting capacity without closing, while Async Payments and offline receipt of value will carry over to RGB assets, and JIT liquidity will follow—all without bridges, custodial wrappers, or separate networks, leaving simply the Lightning Network with RGB as its invisible programmable layer.

Compatibility is not pitched as a feature; it is shipped as infrastructure, making Bitcoin smart.

RGB Lightning Node v0.0.2 is now live.

Public repo: https://t.co/4OrTd1RaLG

This release introduces a fully redesigned control panel with meaningful improvements to both usability and protocol-level functionality.

Key updates:

— Wallet: Rebuilt Receive and Send flows with native support for RGB asset import/export. Transaction history now surfaces asset transfer metadata.

— Node Management: Connect and disconnect Lightning nodes directly from the UI. Open and close channels with streamlined UX.

— RLN Initialization: New node creation flow with clear visualization of local and remote node topology.

— RGB Asset Detail View: Extended metadata display with UTXO binding visibility for RGB assets — enabling users to inspect the on-chain anchoring of off-chain state.

We continue to build at the intersection of Lightning and client-side validated smart contracts. The infrastructure for tokenized assets over Bitcoin is not theoretical — it is shipping.

[Bitlight Labs⚡️ @BitlightLabs]

We have published the full engineering design behind native RGB Swaps on the Lightning Network.

https://t.co/5BjHPchdEO

The swap is not a separate protocol layered on top of Lightning — it is a property of the payment path itself. A single circular route, one payment_hash, zero external coordination. Atomicity is not enforced by an additional contract; it falls out naturally from Lightning's preimage settlement.

This design handles non-monotonic value flows across multi-asset channels, affects commitment construction, HTLC state management, and client-side transfer history at the architectural level.

The RGB Lightning Network has reached production-grade engineering. Large-scale testing begins now.

@genffy_dev In few days after the snapshot

[Bitlight Wallet⚡️ @Bitlight_wallet]

Bitlight Wallet has been updated to v1.2.2.

In this release, we’ve added a “Force Sync” feature under Settings → Advanced Settings. Users can manually force sync to fix rare cases where UTXOs and assets are not displayed correctly. We also fixed a few bugs that could affect the user experience to further improve stability.

We have restricted RGB asset transfers in the Bitlight Wallet frontend to facilitate the snapshot. While you can still bypass the frontend to transfer RGB assets, doing so may affect your snapshot status.

Make Bitcoin Smart.

[Bitlight Wallet⚡️ @Bitlight_wallet]

The Force Sync feature can be performed once every 15 minutes. Please avoid repeating force sync within a short period.
