RGB maximalist. Building @RGBMap_

[Elian Ward @Elian_Ward]

for the spark — one public idea, and we built it. Days, not quarters. On signet now. Let’s keep going. 🔥This one shipped because the whole team moved as one. Huge thanks to @FedericoTenga

[RGBMap @RGBMap_]

It's live. 🫡

Wednesday @FedericoTenga asked for consignment data read in the frontend — never sent to a server — next to the BTC tx each transfer was committed to. Days, not quarters: it's on signet now.

The engine: rgb-lib compiled to WebAssembly, in your tab. Drop a .rgb file and the panel says it out loud — sent anywhere: 0 bytes.

What comes back: the issuance, every transfer since, each one's witness tx (opret / tapret), seals, amounts, and what each sender kept. Blinded receipts stay blinded.

Our test drop: 4 assets, 6 allocations, 7 transfers — 7 of 7 witness txs carried in the files, 7 of 7 anchored on bitcoin. Blocks 323,460 → 323,467.

No wallet. No seed. No account.

Credit where it's due: the idea is @FedericoTenga's — one public tweet, and it became a spec anyone could build. RGBMap is an independent team on the open standard: no permission asked, no vendor in the middle.

One thing worth saying plainly: no wallet exports consignments yet — that button is the ecosystem's last mile. Until it ships, consignment-export reads yours out of an rgb-lib wallet backup on your own machine, offline:

Looking forward to the day a wallet ships it — and to the other teams building on RGB. Then this page is one drag and one drop.

If a file breaks the reader, we want to hear about it. Want a batch of signet packages to run through it? Say the word. #RGB #RGBMap

[Elian Ward @Elian_Ward]

This is the loop we want: a public request, an independent implementation, and more teams able to use it. Happy to see Utexo and others building on the same standard.🙏

The RGB community is growing every day.

JUST IN: Tether CEO says USDT on Bitcoin is coming

[Elian Ward @Elian_Ward]

If you build on #RGB, six things will bite you.

None of them are in the spec. All of them are in the field.

I have hit five. The sixth is the reason I am building anything at all.

[Ben Arc 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✊⚡️ @arcbtc]

Tether is being lined up as THE digital dollar, and needs the #bitcoin rails we're working on to power world reserve level economy. Tether buys US debt (thanks to GENIUS act, so far $140bn), is a huge play I'm amazed isnt being reported more widely. CBDC no/Tether yes, it seems.

[Elian Ward @Elian_Ward]

Two mirrors, two hashes, two versions of the truth, and no error anywhere. That is the failure mode I am designing against.

Which is why this cannot be a website. A website may define its JSON however it likes.

Schema, canonical rules, test vectors. In that order.

[Elian Ward @Elian_Ward]

The hard part of a public registry is not storing the data.

It is making two strangers, in two languages, on two continents, compute the exact same hash from the same asset — forever.

Everything else is CRUD.

Why that one sentence decides the whole architecture:

[Elian Ward @Elian_Ward]

So "content-addressed" is not a feature you switch on.

It is a promise you can only keep if the byte-exact serialization is defined first, in public, and checkable by someone who does not trust you.

Get it wrong and the registry does not break loudly. It forks silently.

@RGB_Hub Clean release. Fewer requests for Bitcoin tx validation and a much simpler version pin. That’s the kind of update that actually helps builders.

[RGB Hub @RGB_Hub]

Article Repost:

(1/3)
RGB Protocol on Bitcoin's five core libraries now carry the plain v0.11.1 tag, without the release-candidate suffix.

Check the technical changes:

@utexocom Appreciate it. That’s exactly the idea — a public index for RGB assets instead of a traditional explorer. Happy to walk you through it if it’s useful on the USDT side.

[Elian Ward @Elian_Ward]

A friend asked what I've been building at night.

I said: a public index for RGB assets. He asked if that's a blockchain explorer. I said no, and then talked for about ten minutes.

He said, "so it's a phone book."

He's right. I've been calling it a protocol.

[Elian Ward @Elian_Ward]

The rule I keep coming back to:

identity = network + rgb protocol version + contract id.

Not the name. Not the ticker. Those are labels anyone can copy.

0.11.1 and 0.12 are separate asset spaces on the same chain, verified separately, never assumed compatible.

[RGBMap @RGBMap_]

Same name. Same ticker. Same logo. Different bytes.

RGB v0.11.1 and v0.12 are separate namespaces. Separate validators. One name, two contracts.

Key on the name and you hand a user the wrong contract.

Identity is network + protocol version + contract id. Never the name.

New WDK blog post: swap and bridge in one interface, five routers.

Discover routes at runtime, get a quote, execute, track settlement. Switch providers by changing one label with the same method names and the same flow.

Five community-built routers. One Swidge interface. Your app doesn't care which one is underneath.
