Bitcoin’s Turing Catalyst
RGB++ unleashes the full potential of Bitcoin for a rich application ecosystem without altering its foundational security. This production-ready protocol offers a trustless method for dApps to interact directly with native Bitcoin transactions, facilitated by a lightweight, decentralized verifier.
RGB++ Protocol Architecture
Common Knowledge Base (CKB)
Built on RISC-V and secured by Proof-of-Work, CKB is the most flexible and interoperable blockchain. With its open-source instruction set architecture, CKB enables native multi-language development and low-level CPU access for maximum efficiency. The battle-tested security of Proof-of-Work consensus ensures robust network protection, while the unique Cell model provides unlimited programmability and seamless cross-chain integration capabilities.
Isomorphic Binding
A one-to-one mapping mechanism that links Bitcoin UTXOs to CKB Cells.
How Does RGB++ Work?
RGB++ creates isomorphic binding between Bitcoin UTXOs and CKB Cells, enabling programmable Bitcoin assets with Turing-complete smart contracts.
UTXO Binding
Bitcoin UTXOs are bound to CKB Cells through cryptographic commitments, creating isomorphic asset ownership.
Single-use seals ensure atomic state transitions
Commitment Creation
A cryptographic commitment links Bitcoin and CKB transactions, ensuring consistency across both chains.
OP_RETURN stores the commitment hash on Bitcoin
State Execution
Complex programmable logic executes on CKB's Turing-complete VM while Bitcoin provides security.
Asset state stored in CKB Cell data field
