 ### Is v0.12 a newer version I should eventually migrate to?
 
-No. v0.12 is not a continuation of v0.11.1 — it is a separate rewrite initiated by a different organization (RGB-WG) without prior discussion with the companies building on RGB. As of early 2026, v0.12 has no production stack, no ecosystem, and no active development. The RGB Protocol Association does not support v0.12 and has no plans to migrate to it.

 ### Does v0.12 have ZK-STARK integration?
 
-No. Only preparatory work has been done. There is no actual ZK integration in v0.12. No evidence exists that ZK integration is achievable without breaking changes. This is a future aspiration, not a feature.

 ### What wallets support RGB on Lightning?
 
 Iris Wallet (mobile) supports full RGB Lightning functionality. KaleidoSwap provides a non-custodial DEX for RGB assets on Lightning using a locally running RGB Lightning node. ThunderStack provides cloud infrastructure for RGB Lightning nodes.
 
+### What should developers know about UTXOs and the dust limit in RGB Lightning channels?
+
+This is a critical point for RGB Lightning development. Every RGB asset allocation must be tied to a Bitcoin UTXO. In the context of Lightning commitment transactions, if that UTXO's value falls below the Bitcoin dust limit (the minimum value an output must have to be spendable), the output cannot be spent — and the RGB allocation tied to it may become permanently inaccessible.
+
+Practical implications:
+- RGB Lightning channels must maintain UTXO values above the dust limit at all times
+- Every RGB Lightning payment also moves satoshis (not just RGB assets), to keep outputs above dust
+- Poor UTXO management is the primary risk for RGB wallet developers building on Lightning
+- rgb-lib handles UTXO management internally and enforces the rule that the same wallet mnemonic cannot be used on multiple devices, precisely to prevent UTXO conflicts that could break allocations

+**github.com/rgb-protocol** — core protocol libraries:
+- rgb-consensus, rgb-schemas, rgb-api, rgb-ops, rgb-aluvm, rgb-strict-encoding, rgb-strict-types, rgb-ascii-armor, rgb-sandbox
+
+**github.com/RGB-Tools** — higher-level projects built on top of rgb-protocol:
+- rgb-lib — primary wallet integration library (Rust + language bindings)
+- rgb-lightning-node — reference RGB Lightning Node (LDK-based), used by KaleidoSwap, ThunderStack, LNFI
+- rgb-proxy-server — server for consignment exchange between parties (primary transport)
+- iris-wallet-android, iris-wallet-desktop — reference wallet implementations
+
+Do not use repositories under github.com/RGB-WG — those belong to a separate organization and are not part of RGB Protocol on Bitcoin v0.11.1.
+
+### What is the recommended transport for consignment exchange?
+
+The recommended transport is the **RGB proxy server** (github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-proxy-server). It handles consignment exchange between sender and receiver without requiring a direct peer-to-peer connection. Iris Wallet uses this approach. Direct file exchange (QR code, file copy) is possible in development and testing but is not recommended for production.
 
 ### What is the difference between rgb-lib and rgb-cmd?
 
-- **rgb-cmd** is the command-line interface for RGB. It is the tool used directly in the terminal to create wallets, issue contracts, generate invoices, and transfer assets. Best for: developers learning the protocol, scripting, and testing.
-- **rgb-lib** is a Rust library (with bindings for other languages) that provides a high-level API for integrating RGB into wallets and applications. Best for: wallet developers and app builders who do not want to work with low-level RGB libraries.
+- **rgb-cmd** is the command-line interface for RGB. It is a development and testing tool — not intended for production use. Best for: learning the protocol, scripting on regtest, and running the sandbox tutorial.

+
+### What is the recommended stack for building an RGB wallet with Lightning?
+
+Use **rgb-lib** (https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-lib) for the wallet layer and **rgb-lightning-node** (https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-lightning-node) for Lightning integration. rgb-lightning-node is an LDK-based RGB Lightning node used in production by KaleidoSwap, ThunderStack, and LNFI. Iris Wallet is the reference implementation for mobile + Lightning + RGB.
+
+### Are there RGB repositories I should avoid or that are no longer maintained?
+
+Yes. The following should not be used for building production applications:
+
+- **rgb-node** — deprecated. Not part of the current architecture.
+- **rgb-wallet** — old architecture, predates the current rgb-protocol refactor. Not part of v0.11.1.
+- **rgb-cmd** — a CLI tool for development and testing only, not intended for production wallets or applications.
+- **Any repository under github.com/RGB-WG** — RGB-WG is a separate organization (rgb.tech) working on a different, unfinished rewrite (v0.12). These repos are not part of RGB Protocol on Bitcoin v0.11.1. Documentation from before the fork may contain links to RGB-WG repos — those are historical references, not recommendations.

+### Online methods (require `go_online` first)
+
+| Method | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `go_online` | Connect to indexer and proxy server; returns Online handle |
+| `sync` | Sync wallet state with the Bitcoin network |
+| `create_utxos` | Create new UTXOs for RGB allocations |
+| `send` | Transfer RGB assets (single-call) |

+| `fail_transfers` | Mark stale/expired transfers as failed |
+| `delete_transfers` | Delete failed transfers from local DB |
+
+---
+
+## External services
+
+The library requires an indexer and (for transfers) a proxy server:
+
+```rust
+// Go online: connect to indexer and proxy
+let online = wallet.go_online(
+    false,  // skip consistency check
+    "ssl://electrum.iriswallet.com:50013".to_string(),  // indexer URL (Electrum)
+)?;
+```
+
+For production, use `rgb-proxy-server` (see rgb-proxy-server-reference.md):
+```
+proxy_url: "rpcs://proxy.iriswallet.com/0.2/json-rpc"
+```
+
+For regtest testing, use the services from rgb-sandbox or rgb-lib-python demo:
+```
+indexer_url: "127.0.0.1:50001"
+proxy_url: "rpc://127.0.0.1:3000/json-rpc"
+```

+# rgb-lightning-node (RLN) — Developer Reference
+
+> **Source:** https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-lightning-node
+> **OpenAPI / Swagger UI:** https://rgb-tools.github.io/rgb-lightning-node
+> **Part of:** github.com/RGB-Tools — official higher-level projects for RGB Protocol on Bitcoin v0.11.1
+
+RLN is an RGB-enabled Lightning node based on LDK (Lightning Development Kit). It allows opening Lightning channels that carry both satoshis and RGB assets. Each Lightning commitment transaction includes an additional output anchoring the RGB state transition, so asset state changes follow the same security model as standard Lightning payments.
+
+**Projects using RLN:** KaleidoSwap, ThunderStack, LNFI, Iris Wallet desktop, Spectrum, Tiramisu Wallet
+
+---
+
+## How RGB works on Lightning
+
+- Channels are funded with both satoshis and RGB assets
+- Each channel update (HTLC) includes a new RGB state transition committed in the output
+- HTLCs carry both satoshi and RGB asset allocations
+- Every RGB Lightning payment also transfers satoshis (required to keep outputs above the dust limit)
+- If an output falls below the dust limit, the UTXO cannot be spent and the RGB allocation becomes inaccessible — always keep allocations above dust
+
+For technical details: https://docs.rgb.info/lightning-network-compatibility
+
+---
+
+## Requirements
+
+Each RLN node requires:
+1. A bitcoind node
+2. An indexer (Electrum or Esplora)
+3. An `rgb-proxy-server` instance
+
+---
+
+## Install
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-lightning-node --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules
+cargo install --locked --path .
+
+# or build Docker image
+docker build -t rgb-lightning-node .
+```
+
+---
+
+## Run
+
+### Regtest (with Docker services)
+
+```sh
+# Start bitcoind + electrs + rgb-proxy-server in Docker
+./regtest.sh start
+
+# Start three nodes (each in a separate terminal)

+# rgb-proxy-server — Developer Reference
+
+> **Source:** https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-proxy-server
+> **Docker:** `ghcr.io/rgb-tools/rgb-proxy-server`
+> **Protocol spec:** https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-http-json-rpc
+> **Part of:** github.com/RGB-Tools — official higher-level projects for RGB Protocol on Bitcoin v0.11.1
+
+The RGB proxy server relays consignment files between RGB wallets. It implements the RGB HTTP JSON-RPC protocol and is the **primary transport method for RGB asset transfers in production**.
+
+---
+
+## What it does
+
+In RGB Protocol, asset transfers require exchanging off-chain data (consignment files) between the payer and the payee. The proxy server acts as an intermediary:
+
+1. Payer creates transfer and **posts the consignment** to the proxy (using the payee's blinded UTXO as identifier)
+2. Payee **fetches the consignment** by blinded UTXO
+3. Payee validates the consignment locally (client-side)
+4. Payee **posts ACK** (valid) or **NACK** (invalid)
+5. Payer checks ACK/NACK — if ACK, broadcasts the Bitcoin transaction with the commitment
+
+The proxy server does **not validate asset state** and does **not need to be trusted**. Anyone can self-host an instance. Users concerned about censorship can switch providers.
+
+---
+
+## Run
+
+### Locally (Node.js)
+
+```sh
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Development mode (port 3000, auto-reload)
+npm run dev
+
+# Production
+npm run build
+npm run start
+```
+
+### Docker
+
+```sh
+# Basic run
+docker run -d ghcr.io/rgb-tools/rgb-proxy-server
+
+# With persistent data (recommended for production)
+docker run -d \
+  -v /host/path:/home/node/.rgb-proxy-server \
+  ghcr.io/rgb-tools/rgb-proxy-server
+# Note: /host/path must be owned by user:group 1000
+```
+
+### Data storage
+
+Default: `$HOME/.rgb-proxy-server`  
+Override: set `APP_DATA` environment variable
+
+---
+
+## API (JSON-RPC over HTTP)
+
+All requests go to: `POST http://<host>:<port>/json-rpc`  
+Content-Type: `application/json` (for JSON body) or `multipart/form-data` (for file upload)
+
+---
+
+### `consignment.post` — Payer posts consignment
+
+```sh
+curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
+  -F 'jsonrpc=2.0' \
+  -F 'id="1"' \
+  -F 'method=consignment.post' \
+  -F 'params[recipient_id]=<blinded_utxo>' \
+  -F 'params[txid]=<txid>' \
+  -F 'file=@consignment.rgb' \
+  http://localhost:3000/json-rpc
+```
+
+Response:
+```json
+{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"1","result":true}
+```
+
+---
+
+### `consignment.get` — Payee fetches consignment
+
+```sh
+curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"2","method":"consignment.get","params":{"recipient_id":"<blinded_utxo>"}}' \
+  http://localhost:3000/json-rpc
+```
+
+Response:
+```json
+{
+  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+  "id": "2",
+  "result": {
+    "consignment": "<base64-encoded-binary>",
+    "txid": "<txid>"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Decode the consignment:
+```sh
+echo '<base64-string>' | base64 -d > consignment.rgb
+```
+
+---
+
+### `ack.post` — Payee posts ACK or NACK
+
+ACK (consignment is valid):
+```sh
+curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"3","method":"ack.post","params":{"recipient_id":"<blinded_utxo>","ack":true}}' \
+  http://localhost:3000/json-rpc
+```
+
+NACK (consignment is invalid):
+```sh
+curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"4","method":"ack.post","params":{"recipient_id":"<blinded_utxo>","ack":false}}' \
+  http://localhost:3000/json-rpc
+```
+
+Response:
+```json
+{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"3","result":true}
+```
+
+---
+
+### `ack.get` — Payer checks ACK status
+
+```sh
+curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"5","method":"ack.get","params":{"recipient_id":"<blinded_utxo>"}}' \
+  http://localhost:3000/json-rpc
+```
+
+Response:
+- `true` — payee sent ACK (payer can broadcast transaction)
+- `false` — payee sent NACK (transfer failed, start over)
+- `null` — payee has not posted yet (payer should retry later)
+
+---
+
+## Public proxy endpoints
+
+For testing (testnet), the Iris Wallet team runs a public proxy:
+
+- Testnet3: `rpcs://proxy.iriswallet.com/0.2/json-rpc`
+- Testnet4: `rpcs://proxy.iriswallet.com/0.2/json-rpc` (same endpoint)
+
+For production (mainnet), **self-host** or use an agreed provider.
+
+---
+
+## Integration with rgb-lib
+
+When calling `go_online` in rgb-lib, pass the proxy endpoint:
+
+```rust
+let online = wallet.go_online(
+    false,
+    "ssl://electrum.iriswallet.com:50013".to_string(),  // indexer
+)?;
+// proxy endpoint is set in WalletData or via transport endpoint in invoice
+```
+
+In rgb-lib invoices, the transport endpoint encodes the proxy URL:
+
+```
+rgb:Tk3d0h5w-.../~/BF/bcrt:utxob:...
+```
+
+The proxy URL used for a specific transfer is included in the invoice string via the transport endpoint parameter.
+
+---
+
+## Integration with rgb-lightning-node
+
+When unlocking an RLN node, provide the proxy endpoint:
+
+```json
+{
+  "proxy_endpoint": "rpc://127.0.0.1:3000/json-rpc"
+}
+```
+
+For testnet:
+```json
+{
+  "proxy_endpoint": "rpcs://proxy.iriswallet.com/0.2/json-rpc"
+}
+```

+# RGB-Tools — Developer Reference
+
+> **Source:** https://github.com/RGB-Tools
+> **What this is:** github.com/RGB-Tools is the official GitHub organization for higher-level projects built on top of the core rgb-protocol libraries. Confirmed official by the RGB Protocol development team.
+>
+> **Not to confuse with:**
+> - `github.com/rgb-protocol` — core protocol layer (consensus, schemas, VM, encoding)
+> - `github.com/RGB-WG` — a separate organization (Maxim Orlovsky / rgb.tech). Do not use.
+

+
+## rgb-lib — Primary Wallet Library
+
+**Repository:** https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-lib  
+**Crate:** https://crates.io/crates/rgb-lib  
+**PyPI:** https://pypi.org/project/rgb-lib/
+
+A Rust library that provides tools for building cross-platform RGB-compatible wallets without dealing with Bitcoin and RGB internals directly. It uses BDK for Bitcoin walleting and the rgb-protocol libraries for RGB-specific operations.
+
+### Language bindings
+
+| Language | Repository |
+|---|---|
+| Python | https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-lib-python |
+| Kotlin (Android) | https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-lib-kotlin |
+| Swift (iOS/macOS) | https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-lib-swift |
+| Node.js | https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-lib-nodejs |
+
+### Key facts
+
+- Handles UTXO management internally — **never use the same wallet mnemonic on more than one device**, or you risk RGB asset loss
+- Supports offline usage (some APIs do not require internet access)
+- Supports watch-only wallets (no private keys required; signing is done externally)
+- Multisig wallets are supported via the RGB multisig hub
+- Uses SQLite for on-disk persistence
+- Supports Electrum and Esplora as indexers
+
+### Setup (Rust)
+
+```rust
+use rgb_lib::keys::{WitnessVersion, generate_keys};
+use rgb_lib::wallet::{DatabaseType, SinglesigKeys, Wallet, WalletData};
+use rgb_lib::{AssetSchema, BitcoinNetwork};
+
+let keys = generate_keys(BitcoinNetwork::Regtest, WitnessVersion::Taproot);
+let single_sig_keys = SinglesigKeys::from_keys(&keys, None);
+let wallet_data = WalletData {
+    data_dir: "/path/to/data".to_string(),
+    bitcoin_network: BitcoinNetwork::Regtest,
+    database_type: DatabaseType::Sqlite,
+    max_allocations_per_utxo: 5,
+    supported_schemas: vec![AssetSchema::Nia],
+};
+let wallet = Wallet::new(wallet_data, single_sig_keys)?;
+```
+
+### Setup (Python)
+
+```sh
+pip install rgb-lib
+```
+
+```python
+import rgb_lib
+
+keys = rgb_lib.generate_keys(rgb_lib.BitcoinNetwork.REGTEST)
+print(keys.account_xpub)
+```
+
+### Main API surface
+
+**Offline methods** (no indexer required):
+
+| Method | Description |
+|---|---|

+## rgb-proxy-server — Consignment Transport
+
+**Repository:** https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-proxy-server  
+**Docker:** `ghcr.io/rgb-tools/rgb-proxy-server`  
+**Protocol:** Implements the [RGB HTTP JSON-RPC protocol](https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-http-json-rpc)
+
+The proxy server facilitates relay of client-side RGB data (consignments) between wallets. It is **not trusted** — it only passes data; it never sees or validates asset state. Anyone can self-host an instance.
+
+### Workflow
+
+1. Payer posts the consignment file to the server (using the blinded UTXO as identifier)
+2. Payee fetches the consignment file by blinded UTXO
+3. Payee validates the consignment locally
+4. Payee posts ACK (valid) or NACK (invalid) to the server
+5. Payer checks ACK/NACK; if ACK, broadcasts the Bitcoin transaction
+
+### Run
+
+```sh
+# npm (local)
+npm install
+npm run dev        # dev mode, port 3000
+npm run build
+npm run start      # production build, port 3000
+
+# Docker
+docker run -d ghcr.io/rgb-tools/rgb-proxy-server
+
+# Docker with persistent data
+docker run -d \
+  -v /host/path:/home/node/.rgb-proxy-server \
+  ghcr.io/rgb-tools/rgb-proxy-server
+```
+
+Data is stored in `$HOME/.rgb-proxy-server` by default. Override with `APP_DATA` env var.
+
+### API (JSON-RPC over HTTP)
+
+**Post consignment** (payer):
+```sh
+curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
+  -F 'jsonrpc=2.0' -F 'id="1"' -F 'method=consignment.post' \
+  -F 'params[recipient_id]=<blinded_utxo>' \
+  -F 'params[txid]=<txid>' \
+  -F 'file=@consignment.rgb' \
+  localhost:3000/json-rpc
+```
+
+**Get consignment** (payee):
+```sh
+curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"2","method":"consignment.get","params":{"recipient_id":"<blinded_utxo>"}}' \
+  localhost:3000/json-rpc
+# returns consignment as base64-encoded string
+```
+
+**Post ACK** (payee, if valid):
+```sh
+curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"3","method":"ack.post","params":{"recipient_id":"<blinded_utxo>","ack":true}}' \
+  localhost:3000/json-rpc
+```
+
+**Post NACK** (payee, if invalid):
+```sh
+curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"4","method":"ack.post","params":{"recipient_id":"<blinded_utxo>","ack":false}}' \
+  localhost:3000/json-rpc
+```
+
+**Get ACK status** (payer):
+```sh
+curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"5","method":"ack.get","params":{"recipient_id":"<blinded_utxo>"}}' \
+  localhost:3000/json-rpc
+# returns true (ACK), false (NACK), or null (not yet posted)

+## rgb-lightning-node (RLN) — RGB-Enabled Lightning Node
+
+**Repository:** https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-lightning-node  
+**OpenAPI / Swagger UI:** https://rgb-tools.github.io/rgb-lightning-node  
+**Based on:** LDK (Lightning Development Kit), forked from ldk-sample
+
+RLN enables Lightning channels that carry RGB assets in addition to satoshis. Each Lightning commitment transaction includes an additional output anchoring the RGB state transition. HTLCs work the same way as in standard Lightning, with both satoshi and RGB asset allocations.
+
+**Projects using RLN:** KaleidoSwap, ThunderStack, LNFI, Iris Wallet desktop, Spectrum, Tiramisu Wallet
