It's almost impossible for CKB to surpass BTC in terms of narrative. However, if CKB takes a step back and becomes a Layer 2 solution for BTC, it will be an invincible existence.

The RGB++ asset protocol proposed by the CKB team uses CKB and other UTXO-type blockchains as a function expansion layer to achieve isomorphic binding. Users do not need to verify transaction data and can leave the verification work to the UTXO chain. The protocol supports users to switch verification modes and operate assets on the CKB chain through Bitcoin accounts. In addition to CKB, Cardano and Fuel can also support isomorphic binding, but CKB is more suitable as a function expansion layer for the Bitcoin asset protocol. Isomorphic binding utilizes UTXOs on CKB and Cardano chains as “containers” to add programmability and complex scenarios to assets.

With the launch of ETF, the explosion of BRC-20 ecosystem and the added narrative of halving, the market's focus is once again on the Bitcoin ecosystem. CKB seems to have always adhered to its original intention, insisted on being isomorphic with Bitcoin, and further bridged the gap.

This article primarily introduces the economic model of CKB and its ingenious design.

Create RGB++ into paths, connecting most assets on the upper layer and connecting more UTXO chains; at the intersection of the roads is a castle built by CKB, where various WEB2/WEB3 applications can be widely carried out, regardless of Is it payment, social, finance, gaming or others.

Fiber Network is a decentralized payment network built on Nervos CKB, supporting fast, low-cost off-chain transactions for multiple currencies, with special interoperability with the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Through technologies such as payment channels and HTLC/PTLC, Fiber provides efficient cross-chain payments and asset transfers.

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the Fiber Network Lightning Network solution based on CKB, exploring its technological innovations in payment channels, WatchTower, multi-hop routing, and cross-domain payments. It details how Fiber enhances user experience, privacy protection, and security through technical optimization, while also examining its potential for interoperability with the Bitcoin Lightning Network.

Nervos Network secures decentralized storage, while RGB++ boosts scalability, privacy, and smart contract functionality, enabling secure tokenization.

Nervos Network is a decentralized blockchain platform that uses a two-layer architecture for scalability, security, and decentralization, with the goal of providing a foundation for a decentralized financial system.

This article will dive into the Stable++ stablecoin protocol within the RGB++ Layer ecosystem. Using BTC and CKB as collateral to mint the RUSD stablecoin, the protocol integrates a Stability Pool insurance mechanism and bad debt redistribution. This creates a reliable stablecoin minting scenario for BTC and CKB holders.

This article mainly explores the understanding of Bitcoin L2, the mechanism of RGB++, the assets of RGB++, and the development ideas of the CKB ecosystem.

Built on the RGB++ protocol, the RGB++ Layer utilizes homomorphic binding and Leap technology to provide a seamless cross-chain interaction experience for native RGB++ assets or inscriptions/runes across UTXO-based blockchains like BTC, CKB, and Cardano without the need for cross-chain bridges. Leveraging CKB's Turing-complete smart contract environment, it establishes the necessary conditions for Bitcoin to achieve complex DeFi functions from asset issuance.

In the recently released Fiber Network litepaper, CKB introduced several technical improvements to the traditional BTC Lightning Network. Fiber enables direct asset transfer within channels, employs PTLC technology to enhance privacy, and addresses multi-hop path privacy issues in the BTC Lightning Network.

A deep dive into Bitcoin Meme's potential, exploring the critical role RGB++ plays in positioning Meme as a traffic gateway within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Learn how platforms like CKB.Fi are offering efficient, low-cost solutions for issuing and trading Meme assets.

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.
