Frequently asked questions
RGB is an open source protocol that enables the issuance of assets and contracts on Bitcoin. This happens directly on top of the Bitcoin blockchain with no separate ledgers and no trust compromises, but at the same time the amount of data written on the blockchain is minimised thanks to the client-side validation model that keeps all the RGB logic outside the blockchain
The RGB client-side data is stored on the device of the asset holder, and privately shared with the beneficiary of a payment through a direct communication channel when the assets are spent. Each user can then back-up the client-side data of its wallet however she/he wishes.
