Quickly pass RGB and RGB++ protocol design in a few minutes:plain instructions

RGB++ is a new asset trading protocol that combines the RGB protocol and a public chain that supports UTXO to achieve globally verifiable asset data storage. It sacrifices privacy but improves ease of use and is suitable for Defi scenarios. Users can directly operate RGB asset containers on UTXO chains such as CKB/Cardano in their Bitcoin accounts, or use the transaction folding function to reduce costs. However, it should be noted that isomorphic binding requires a public chain that supports the UTXO model.

Revolutionizing Bitcoin: An In-Depth Analysis of the Atomics Protocol

The BRC-20 experimental asset protocol is celebrating its first birthday, witnessing the birth of the Ordinals protocol and the release of the BRC-20 protocol, which has reinvigorated the BTC ecosystem.While BRC-20 is a non-UTXO-bound asset issuance scheme, ARC-20 under the Atomicals protocol pioneered UTXO-bound assets. Arthur, the founder of the Atomicals protocol, came up with the idea of Atomicals, which has led to four major concepts, including Dmint, Bitwork, ARC-20, and RNS, as well as AVMs and splits in the future.The Atomicals protocol introduces a decentralized minting mechanism for NFTs on the Bitcoin chain, which will provide an opportunity for homogeneous and non-homogeneous NFTs to be distributed within the Bitcoin ecosystem. homogenized and non-homogenized tokens with a fair chance of issuance. With the release of AVM, the Atomicals protocol is expected to enable programmability on Bitcoin Layer1 , bringing new developments to the entire Bitcoin ecosystem.
