The Discreet Log Contract (DLC) is an oracle-based contract execution scheme that integrates DLC channels with the Lightning Network and expands DLC to allow the updating and execution of continuous contracts within the same DLC channel. With technologies such as Taproot and BitVM, more complex off-chain contract validations and settlements can be implemented within the DLC, while minimizing oracle trust through the use of OP challenge mechanisms.

The BRC-20 experimental asset protocol is celebrating its first birthday, witnessing the birth of the Ordinals protocol and the release of the BRC-20 protocol, which has reinvigorated the BTC ecosystem.While BRC-20 is a non-UTXO-bound asset issuance scheme, ARC-20 under the Atomicals protocol pioneered UTXO-bound assets. Arthur, the founder of the Atomicals protocol, came up with the idea of Atomicals, which has led to four major concepts, including Dmint, Bitwork, ARC-20, and RNS, as well as AVMs and splits in the future.The Atomicals protocol introduces a decentralized minting mechanism for NFTs on the Bitcoin chain, which will provide an opportunity for homogeneous and non-homogeneous NFTs to be distributed within the Bitcoin ecosystem. homogenized and non-homogenized tokens with a fair chance of issuance. With the release of AVM, the Atomicals protocol is expected to enable programmability on Bitcoin Layer1 , bringing new developments to the entire Bitcoin ecosystem.

Since its release, Runestone has attracted market attention, with a total trading volume exceeding 1400 bitcoins and an average price on the rise. Runestone is a Bitcoin script project associated with the Runes protocol, allowing data to be inscribed on the smallest unit of Bitcoin, the satoshi. The Runes protocol, proposed by BTC core developers, aims to reduce on-chain "footprints" and seamlessly integrate with the Bitcoin infrastructure. There may be more projects utilizing the Runes protocol in the future, with some projects already in the market awaiting the official release of the protocol. These projects will distribute runes through airdrops or exchanges once the official version of the protocol is launched. Runestone is the most watched project, with over a dozen projects airdropping to its holders. The Bitcoin halving and the introduction of new protocols may usher in a new round of rotation in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and everyone is also looking forward to whether the third wave of inscriptions can

This article provides a brief explanation of the RGB and RGB++ protocols, aiming to help readers quickly understand the design and operation principles of these two special P2P asset protocols. The RGB protocol emphasizes users independently verifying the security and privacy of data, while RGB++ utilizes a third-party public chain to provide a verification layer, optimizing user experience. By comparing the similarities and differences between the two, the article explains how RGB++ improves transaction convenience through homomorphic bindings while maintaining a certain level of privacy.
