Rust library implementing confidential & scalable client-validated smart contracts for Bitcoin & Lightning.
The current list of the projects based on the library include:
- RGB Node: standalone & embeddable node for running RGB
- RGB SDK: SDK for developing mobile, web, desktop & server-side wallets and doing other forms of software integration with RGB Node

The development of the library projects is supported by LNP/BP Standards Association.
Previously the code of the library was part of LNP/BP Core Library but later was extracted into a separate library in this repository via fork. The reasons for that were the facts that LNP/BP Core Lib has a lot of usage outside RGB project scope, and the overall dependencies & feature management complexity, compile times etc grow significantly. Another reason is the need for different review policies & security requirements (LNP/BP Core Lib may be more experimental than RGB).
The library is based on other projects:
- rust-bitcoin
- bitcoin_hashes
- rust-secp256k1
- rust-secp256k1-zkp for Pedersen commitments and Bulletproofs used in confidential state inside RGB protocols
- rust-miniscript
- rust-lnpbp LNP/BP Core Library
