The Lightning2049 event organized by Lnfi Network and RGB Protocol Association, with support from Bitfinex, brought together developers and investors in Singapore to discuss the Bitcoin layer 2 ecosystem. The discussions focused on Lightning Network, RGB, and Taproot Assets. The RGB Association announced that version 0.11.1 is operational on the mainnet, allowing for the issuance of assets and stablecoins through high-security smart contracts.
Lnfi Network introduces LN Node, a self-custodial Lightning node supporting Bitcoin, RGB, and Taproot Assets, helping to generate profits and manage assets. Federico Tenga (Bitfinex) shares how Lightning generates Bitcoin profits through liquidity routing. KaleidoSwap showcases the first atomic swap of RGB assets, while Voltage introduces applications such as micro-payments for AI and stablecoin billing.
