ChainCatcher news, the CKB Eco Fund announced a strategic partnership with Element to fully support the RGB++ Layer on the Element platform. Both parties will work together to promote the development of the BTC ecosystem while injecting new momentum into the CKB digital asset DOB ecosystem.As a new asset issuance layer for Bitcoin, the RGB++ Layer extends isomorphic binding, smart contract capabilities, and bridge-less cross-chain functionality to all UTXO chains, and is expected to drive the rise of Bitcoin finance (BTCFi) and the Bitcoin ecosystem. Element's comprehensive support for the RGB++ Layer will enable developers and users to more easily create and manage various RGB++ assets on the CKB chain, promoting the development of the digital asset DOB ecosystem.

ChainCatcher news, the first decentralized exchange (DEX) based on RGB++ Layer, UTXOSwap.xyz, has officially launched on the mainnet. UTXOSwap utilizes bridge-less cross-chain and smart contract functionalities, aiming to release liquidity for all assets on UTXO chains.UTXOSwap adopts an off-chain matching and on-chain verification model, allowing users' intent orders to be directly matched with AMM liquidity pools. In the future, the platform will also introduce third-party liquidity providers. Currently, UTXOSwap supports asset trading in the RGB++ and CKB ecosystems, with plans to expand to more UTXO ecosystem assets, striving to become an important infrastructure for Bitcoin finance (BiFi).

ChainCatcher news, according to a tweet from the RGB++ protocol author, RGB++ will upgrade to RGB++ Layer, which will feature cross-chain functionality without bridges and smart contract capabilities, extending to all UTXO chains.In addition, the RGB++ browser and DeFi infrastructure based on RGB++ Layer will also be launched soon. This will enable complex financial applications to be introduced on the Bitcoin layer, including UTXOSwap, Stable++, ccBTC, LST CKB, and more. At the same time, RGB++ Layer will also expand to other UTXO chains, such as BCH, BSV, and Dogecoin, and support other layer one asset protocols, such as Runes and BRC20.

ChainCatcher news, the decentralized identity protocol .bit under d.id announced the completion of the RGB++ upgrade. Leveraging the isomorphic binding feature of CKB, it has become a Bitcoin layer DID asset to serve the user identity needs of the Bitcoin ecosystem. This upgrade makes .bit compatible with CKB's Spore digital object protocol at the asset level, enhancing compatibility and transaction liquidity with CKB ecosystem Dapps. The DOB asset trading market Omiga will become one of the first layer two network platforms to support .bit trading, and in the future, it will also be listed on major RGB++ trading markets.d.id completed a $13 million Series A financing in 2022, and its DID protocol .bit has nearly 100,000 registered users. In addition, d.id recently launched a new narrative direction called "Humanity Matters," helping users express their unique identity value through .bit and the achievement protocol Padge.

ChainCatcher news, CKB has reached a cooperation with the full-chain AI game ecosystem Cellula, which will use the RGB++ protocol to issue 511*6 sets of BitCell NFTs on the Bitcoin layer 1 network. Cellula's unique vPoW mining mechanism complements Bitcoin's PoW mechanism, empowering its game assets BitCell. At the same time, Cellula will also utilize the RGB++ protocol to create the first autonomously evolving on-chain digital life in the BTC ecosystem, bringing a brand new unique experience to its ecosystem.The RGB++ protocol provides programmability for the Bitcoin mainnet and allows assets to leap directly between the Bitcoin mainnet and CKB without the need for cross-chain bridges, achieving complete decentralization.

ChainCatcher news, Nervos CKB announced a partnership with Gate Wallet for integration, which has now been completed. Users can perform CKB on-chain transfers within Gate Wallet. It is reported that Gate Wallet will also support the RGB++ protocol in the future, allowing users to seamlessly experience operations in the CKB dApp ecosystem and the RGB++ protocol ecosystem.As of now, CKB has integrated multiple mainstream wallets, allowing its ecosystem users to have a more convenient and diverse range of operational experiences.

ChainCatcher news, the decentralized community governance protocol Metaforo now supports CKB and RGB++. Both CKB assets and RGB++ L1/L2 assets can participate in community voting and governance. The Seal community will be the first to access the Metaforo protocol for voting governance.Previous news, Metaforo has completed a $4 million financing and is currently the most widely used community governance solution.

ChainCatcher news, the metaverse project Matrix World officially announces its upgrade to the Bitcoin autonomous world World3 (Third Continent). World3 has reached a strategic cooperation with the Nervos CKB ecological fund. World3 will be based on the RGB++ protocol and the DOB protocol, using the Bitcoin mainnet as the asset control layer for digital goods, and CKB as the DA layer and smart contract layer for digital goods, connecting Bitcoin with other ecological chains. In addition, World3 will also provide a visualization and interaction layer for digital goods, constructing a new digital world around full-chain digital goods.World3 will support players in customizing their personal on-chain instance space, allow creators to create various digital goods (DOB), and support various 2D and 3D dApp integrations, establishing an economic cycle of production, consumption, finance, and entertainment in the Third Continent. World3 will also enhance the visualization and interaction of digital goods through an AI engine.It is reported that the World3 team plans to conduct a DOB airdrop on the BTC mainnet soon and gradually open up interactive testing scenarios based on DOB. World3 (formerly Matrix World) previously completed a $6 million financing round with participation from investment institutions such as Animoca Brands, Dapper Labs, EVG, and Com2uS.

ChainCatcher news, the first Bitcoin RGB++ Meetup will be held on May 10th in the afternoon at Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. This event is initiated by RGB++ enthusiasts and supported by the CKB Eco Fund, bringing together numerous RGB++ ecological projects, community representatives, and strategic partners to deeply discuss the development of the protocol and ecological growth.It is reported that since the RGB++ protocol for issuing Bitcoin layer one assets was officially proposed in February this year, RGB++ has been successfully launched. Currently, over 300 types of crypto assets have been issued through the RGB++ protocol, and essential infrastructure including wallets, browsers, DEX, Launchpad, asset managers, and Leap tools are now online and in use.

ChainCatcher news, OKX Web3 teams up with Nervape to offer a limited-time Nervape whitelist. From April 18, 2024, to April 25, users who complete designated tasks in the OKX Web3 Drops section will have the chance to obtain a Nervape whitelist, with a limited quantity of 150.Nervape is a multi-chain composable digital asset set to be issued on the Bitcoin chain, with a total of 2,777 pieces.

ChainCatcher news, Bitcoin ecosystem Passkey wallet JoyID Passkey announces the launch of JoyID Coins Dex, supporting the trading of any RGB++ assets on Bitcoin Layer 2 (CKB).

ChainCatcher news, the decentralized identity protocol .bit under d.id is preparing for a major technical upgrade to be compatible with the RGB++ protocol, making .bit an asset running on the Bitcoin layer. Currently, .bit already supports the resolution and binding of Bitcoin addresses, enabling the transfer of Bitcoin and RGB++ assets.RGB++ is an extension protocol based on RGB, which maps Bitcoin UTXOs to Cells on Nervos CKB through isomorphic binding, bringing Turing-complete contract extensions and performance enhancements to Bitcoin without cross-chain requirements and without compromising security.The .bit team has previously completed a $13 million Series A financing.

ChainCatcher message, Nervos co-founder Cipher Wang posted on social media that someone has deployed a token called RGB++ Protocol, which is not associated with the team. As an open protocol, the project welcomes anyone to deploy assets with any name and functionality, but users should be aware of the risks.Previously, Cipher Wang launched RGB++ Protocol. RGB++ is an extension protocol based on the Bitcoin smart contract protocol RGB, utilizing one-time seals and client verification technology to manage state changes and transaction validation.
