| 22 Mar | Agenda: Presentation of 🔥Deterministic bitcoin commitments and ways of how Taproot modernizes RGB. 1. Update - the day before rust miniscript made a first release-candidate providing full Taproot support, removing many obstacles for RGB and rust-bitcoin. Thus, we will have a sequence of releases (0.6) of all our libs that will have full Taproot support. 2. Agenda to discuss: a) OP_RETURN commitment scheme, b) to put all RGB commitments inside the bitcoin transaction into a single output and change the selection mechanism of determining the output in which the RGB commitment will go, c) use all that to avoid interactive complexity and privacy leaks that happen in LN, conjoin, payjoin protocols. More details: 1. What are DBCs, how are they different from other types of commitments (OP_RETURN, P2C, S2c)? - is it that the hardware wallets don’t need to tweak the output now or they already need to tweak the normal Taproot tweaking in the first place, so we’re basically delegating the tweaking complexity that hardware wallets would be facing to the taproot abilities themselves, but in a way if you spend a Taproot output which the end user Tapscript with or without the OP_RETURN inside the tap script, you will need the hardware wallet to tweak the general taproot key? 2. Huffman Merkle tree. - Can we just duplicate the commitment on both sides of the branch? Conclusion - it’s decided to support both OP_RETURN and Tap_Return. 3. How to construct multiparty transaction and avoid interactive protocols and RGB asset information leaks? 4. RGB workflow with DBCs. Questions: - Will we always use 1 input and 1 output? - Does taproot simplify the RGB wallet implementation? - How dramatic would be these improvements in terms of bitcoin blockchain space? - So, if you implement OP_RETURN in addition to Tap_Return, will Taproot support still be mandatory for RGB wallets? - Are there any proposals for proof-of-payment (against the third party) mechanism? |

| 9 Mar | Agenda: 1. Presentation of a dedicated initiative for support of 🇺🇦Ukraine internet, mobile and mesh network infrastructure; development of alternative bitcoin- & lightning-based payment and messaging methods. 2. Presentation of the 🔥 2022 roadmap towards a release, pinpointing ways of how anyone can contribute. 3. Q&A session: - NFT over LN use case - algorithmical stable coin use case - Since hashrate follows price, could hashrate or difficulty be used to peg a stablecoin? - Are there any plans for a daemon management utility for desktop or servers (without needing systemd)? - We tried to derive from the 'seed phrase' the bitcoin addresses (from descrptor wallet), but we couldn't find out which derivative path was used. So question: how to calculate the correct descriptor wallet addresses based on the seed? |

| 22 Dec | Agenda: During the call we had the third part of the presentation and demonstration our 🔥LNP Node (Lightning Network node written in Rust🦀 ). We managed to open the first Lightning network channel from LNP Node to a remote c-Lightning; on 🔥Bitcoin mainnet🔥. Q&A session questions: 1. When will Bifrost be released? 2. I noticed you recommended bip43 purpose keys - will you also support bip44 hardened keys? 3. will there be a demo on the smart contract part of rgb anytime soon? if not how far away are we? 4. How big is the team? |

| 15 Dec | Agenda: During the call we had the second part of the presentation and demonstration our 🔥LNP Node (Lightning Network node written in Rust🦀 ): - technical deep dive on the node’s internals - its interoperability with LN - its connection to c-lightning node Q&A session questions: 1. Really interested in PTLC and how it would be possible to work with it using LNP Node. 2. Is the LNP Node a prerequisite to building a Rust compiler? 3. What is the reason of maintaining the backwards compatibility between Bifrost and 'legacy LN'? 4. Given different primitives that would allow you to tap into Lightning for liquidity; and because of the way RGB is built, you can build a multisig and bunch of signers of a particular issuance of an asset, and then there can be someone else who can issue another type of asset and he also has the whole setup. Is there any format or way to talk across these issuances so that you could do interesting things cross-asset? |

Audio Video Slides |
| 03 Nov | Agenda: 1. Introduction and tech dive into 🔥 Bifrost protocol. . Q&A session: - Are the new LNPBPs already written? - Will the number of different channel types become ever a problem - for example, must every node have channels of each types to use them? - I've understood that it's going to be released at the end of the year, what is going to be released exactly (sorry if it is said, but i lost the sound sometimes)? - As a not hard core developer it's difficult to imagine the use cases, could we start a brainstorm with some people what kind of dreams we will accomplish? - Are there working examples of some RGB operations over Bifrost? Can i work my way to make some RGB transfers in Bifrost with the code published now? - How will nodes be incentivised to store Bifrost data? - Why is it not possible to keep using a legacy channel with the legacy LN connection when you upgrade the channel to Bifrost ? What makes it impossible to "separate states" between legacy and bifrost transactions? - I guess ANYPREVOUT would be very nice for Bifrost? What about other possible bitcoin future softforks? |

| 22 Sept | Agenda: Q&A session - Is the amount of UTXO, to which a specific RGB asset is assigned, a hidden or public information - My question is about RGB Node, now is break for the updating in RGB Core and RGB-20, is going to be released updated soon? It's going to have much change respect what we have today, apart from adapting to changes in another libraries? - What is the link between AluVM and Contractum? - AluVM will be included on the next reales and be required to run RGB? How RGB-20 is impacted? Can we say AluVM is the current way to do client-side validation? - Does Bitcoin Pro have to be updated for AluVM? - In your opinion, what would be the better way to implement LLVM IR to AluVM bytecode? LLVM IR compiling to bytecode or (as you mentionned in a previous call) LLVM IR translated into ALU asm via parser? Or other way like o a Rust pest project? (LLVM IR -> Aluasm). Same questions for WASM - AluVM - Can RGB be compatible with ZK-Rollups? I understand Roll-up is not preferred. But is it viable as an immediate interim solution to bring already built solutions to RGB before pure client side validation is built? - Is the unowned state is still a subject? What is it exactly? - What is a valency in the context of RGB? - What is the state of LNP in the scope of RGB? How is client-side validation done with LN? Is Francisco ready to dive in this? - If I have RGB assets assigned to a Bitcoin UTXO and I want to run this UTXO in a CoinJoin, what will happen? Will I loose my RGB assets? |
Audio |
| 08 Sept | Agenda: 1. Presentation of 🔥RGB roadmap: a way towards release. 2. Q&A session: - Will the exchange rate be always RGB-token/BTC or you there will be RGB-token1/RGB-token2? - I have the impression that MyCitadel wallet is IOS/macOS only...is that true? - Do you expect any resistance to current nodes switching to Bifrost? - How the main lightning implementations devs received the idea to add Bifrost to their own implementation? - Do you recommend the use of rust-lightning? - What is the risk of keeping all data on Bifrost instead of locally? Just fees for storage? - What would be the incentive to run a Bifrost node? - What happens if we do not have capacity to receive data locally are we aren't using Bifrost? Does transaction get rejected? - How is the data availability ensured with some/many nodes going offline? - Will MyCitadel beta be back soon? Or do you plan to release the first non beta version along with RGB in the end of the year? - What happens if the client-side data is lost (worst case scenario)? Would it affect any smart contract applications? - To come back to the exchange rate rgb-token/BTC vs rgb-token1/rgb-token2, the principle of "coincidence of wants" would point that it would be more efficient and profitable to price anything into the hard money, aka BTC, as you would have more liquidity and that if you want to go from RGB-token1 to RGB-token2, you would have better offers if you do an indirect exchange through BTC. - What are the limitations of client-side validation? |

| 21 July | Agenda: 1. Presentation of 🔥RGB computational model (PRISM). 2. Q&A session: - How badly Disclosure process exposes your privacy? - If RGB smart contracts are isolated, can they still cooperate/share information between each other? - If in Stash many parties can contain alternative histories, how to define which history is the true one? - I believe that the RGB20 and RGB21 contracts written in rust already existed before AluVM, will there be a reimplementation of RGB20 and RGB21 in AluVM scripts? - Do you have any further insight into when RGB will work on lightning? etc |
Audio Video Slides |
| 14 July | Agenda: Development update and RGB Q&A session. 1. Category Theory resources: introductory course, additional link. 2. Does category theory has impact on AluVM? 3. Is there a standard in RGB (or bitcoin) in denoting a utxo output e.g. in a single use seal? 4. Does a routing node just need to know about the asset, or do the channels have to be for that RGB asset as opposed to regular NTC LN channels? 5. If an asset created with RGB becomes very valuable, or you just have many of them, you might not want to have it on a lightning hot wallet. Since to move the assets, only a regular BTC signature on a PSBT is required, it should be possible to safeguard those assets in the same cold storage as your regular BTC. The only hard requirement to the cold storage is that it can sign PSBTs. I don't think there should be a problem with multisig here. But in order to be sure you sign the right thing, the cold storage should have some knowledge of the assets that are moved. How could this look like? 6 . If i'm reckless, can I use RGB on mainnet? Is there any precedent of issuing rgb asset on mainnet? 7. There is an idea to put a NFT (the RGB equivalent) in an Opendime to transfer some properties physically. So, on the Opendime attached on the artwork you will have the NFT certificate version of the artwork. Can it be possible with RGB NFTs? 8. RGB and existing Lightning Nodes implementations (e.g. LND). 9. DEX devepoment - progress update. |

1. RGB protocol Invoicing: - New unified invoicing proposal with protocol layerization, extensibility, interoperability - Bech32 encodings for invoicing & RGB-related data entities Schema, genesis, versioning: - Schema extensibility for things like multiple asset schemas: instead of extending schema, we will have one "most advanced" schema with all features (for assets, NFTs, reputation etc) and smaller sub-schemas which will commit to the most advanced schema for which they are just a subset. It will resolve security considerations by Alekos Filini and allow simple wallet adoption of new asset schema types. - Interoperability & networks explanations and structuring - How it is used - More LN-specific asset details for asset geneses - RGB versioning clarification Protocol unification: - Proposed invoicing protocol operate not only with RGB, but also can be used for native bitcoin on-chain and LN payments - API/message type unification for RGB Node, Ligthning network (all nodes) and future Bifrost. Now node type will be defined just by the set of features, and networks can inter-operate - RGB Node, LNP Node and Bifrost will be unifiable into a single piece of software, so wallet devs will be able to use just a single integration point to run RGB onchain, RGB lightning & native lightning payments Other: - Decentralized issuance & "call to contract method": public extensions to RGB contract state proposal & PR to the Core Library Mimblewimble-style Pedersen commitment aggregation & history cut-through better privacy concept for the future & updated RGB scalability roadmap 2. Dev updates Notable releases: - amplify & amplify_derive crates v1.0 release with extensive test coverage using GitHub actions. Repo: https://github.com/LNP-BP/rust-amplify Updated Docker images for bitcoin, c-lightning, elements, electrs & RGB Node with better Signet support released to Docker Hub and GitHub Completed implementation of Bulletproof commitments (implemented and merged) WIP: - Key management & signing functionality within LNP Node will help wallet devs with this part of functionality. Unfortunately we can't use BDK since it lacks RGB specific PSBT key type support (for Pk tweaks) and Xpub/Xpriv other chains, so LNP/BP Core library will include special mod for all necessary extensions to Xpub/Xpriv keys and PSBTs, as well as signers, based on miniscript, supporting necessary RGB functionality. See sections above on more details to Xpub/Xpriv specifics - Better test coverage approaching ~60% for the Core Library and ~100% for the underlying amplify crate, including new exhaustive tests for some encodings covering all possible encoding options - Better code docs: ~50% for the Core Library & 100% for the underlying amplify crate |
