Average fee for a $0.01 tx:

Solana: ~$0.00025 (2.5%)
Polygon: ~$0.001 (10%)
Base: ~$0.003 (30%)
Lightning: ~$0.0001 (0.1%)

Lightning is the only network built for micropayments from day one.

"Similar to how @aave became the main yield engine across the EVM ecosystem, @lightning could play the same role for the comeback of DeFi on Bitcoin.

A healthier yield model, stripped of the complexity that led to constant exploits and eroded trust in DeFi."

[Utexo @utexocom]

Utexo was featured on @Forbes Digital Assets!

Interesting article about the rapidly growing role that Lightning will play in the digital USD economy.

Good to be mentioned among many great companies building on Bitcoin.

RT @utexocom: Utexo has officially joined x402 and the @linuxfoundation.

Our goal? Bringing instant, private USDT payments to the Agent Ec…

Big week

@0x_cati Community scales with intrinsic motivation, only the best can make some value from collaboration.

Paying everyone at scale, doesn’t scale.

Bringing value to community does.

Happy to discuss but we’re a startup not a bank. Yet 😉

[Blockstream @Blockstream]

libsecp256k1 is the cryptographic library that secures every Bitcoin transaction and @blksresearch is one of its key contributors and maintainers.

They also maintain libsecp256k1-zkp, the extended fork that powers @Liquid_BTC's Confidential Transactions, MuSig2, and zero-knowledge proofs.

The team has just brought the zkp fork up to date with 2.5 years of upstream improvements.

𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗨𝘁𝗲𝘅𝗼 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝘁

What if I told you that sending USDT could be as fast as sending a WhatsApp message and completely free.

That is exactly what 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 makes possible and 𝗨𝘁𝗲𝘅𝗼 is using it to change how USDT moves on Bitcoin forever.

Let me explain how.

➤ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?

Bitcoin is the most trusted blockchain in the world but in its basic form every transaction gets written directly onto the blockchain, this takes time and costs money.

Think of it like a highway with only one lane, it works fine when there is no traffic but during rush hour everything slows down and costs go up.

𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 adds more lanes.

Launched in 2018, it sits on top of Bitcoin and creates a faster layer for transactions. Instead of writing every single payment onto the blockchain, 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 opens a direct channel between two people. Inside that channel they can send as many transactions as they want instantly and for free. Only the final balance gets settled on Bitcoin at the end.

Same Bitcoin security but now instant and almost free.

➤ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸?

Imagine you and a friend share a tab at a coffee shop all month. Every time one of you buys something you just note it down. At the end of the month you settle the total once.

𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 works exactly like that.

➜ A direct payment channel opens between two people

➜ Transactions happen instantly inside that channel

➜ No fees on each transaction

➜ Only the final balance settles on Bitcoin at the end

The result? Payments that settle in under one second with zero fees.

No waiting, No congestion, No surprises.

➤ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗦𝗗𝗧?

Right now sending USDT on Ethereum means paying gas fees that change every single day. Busy network means high fees. You never know what you will pay before you hit send.

For someone sending $200 home every month, paying $5 to $10 in fees each time adds up to $120 a year lost to fees alone.

With 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 that cost drops to zero, Every single time.

More money reaches the people who need it. Every single month.

➤ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗨𝘁𝗲𝘅𝗼 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸

Before Utexo, Lightning only worked with Bitcoin. You could not send USDT through it.

𝗨𝘁𝗲𝘅𝗼 combines 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 with RGB Protocol to make USDT work natively on Bitcoin.

All the speed and cost benefits of Lightning now apply to USDT.

➜ Send USDT in under one second

➜ Pay zero fees every time

➜ Stay secured by Bitcoin

➜ No dependence on Ethereum or Tron

➤ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲

Speed and zero fees are powerful but 𝗨𝘁𝗲𝘅𝗼 does not stop there.

The other piece of the puzzle is privacy, because fast and free means nothing if everyone can still see exactly what you are sending and to whom.

Fast, Free, Private.

That is what 𝗨𝘁𝗲𝘅𝗼 is building.

And it is being built on the most trusted network in the world.

Important lesson on the current state of B2B(2C) stablecoin payments.

Businesses need infrastructure that let them settle value the same way they move money.

Guys, I'd love to become an @utexocom ambassador.

The idea and technology behind this project are something I genuinely believe is useful and important.

That's why following the project's development and helping it grow would be really exciting for me.

Over time, I'll be sharing more information and updates about the project so you can stay up to date.

I also recommend checking out @utexocom and its co-founders @VIhnatiuk and @theflyinghutch.
