The RGB++ Explorer, a groundbreaking addition to the #Bitcoin and #CKBecosystems , has officially gone live. This cutting-edge platform empowers users with robust tools to delve into the complexities of these blockchains.
The explorer offers real-time insights into RGB++ transactions, detailed asset overviews, and advanced on-chain search functionalities, enhancing transparency and streamlining user interaction. This level of visibility is vital for emerging sectors like BTCFi, where understanding on-chain dynamics is key to innovation.
Serving as a cornerstone for the RGB++ Layer, the explorer seamlessly showcases cross-chain assets and transactions, fostering integration between Bitcoin and #CKB . Users can easily retrieve essential data, including addresses, transaction and block hashes, and asset identifiers.
The RGB++ Explorer is set to become an indispensable resource for enthusiasts and developers exploring the capabilities of Bitcoin and CKB, driving forward innovation and adoption across both networks.
About RGB++
RGB++ is a Bitcoin-based protocol that facilitates the creation and management of digital assets and decentralized applications. Engineered for security, scalability, and interoperability, RGB++ is a pivotal component in shaping a decentralized future.
About CKB
CKB stands as the first BTC-isomorphic Layer 2 (PoW+UTXO), delivering a decentralized, secure, and Bitcoin-compatible scaling solution.
The CKB network extends Bitcoin’s functionality through the RGB++ protocol, mapping Bitcoin UTXOs to CKB Cells. This enables fluid movement of Bitcoin UTXO-based assets—such as Ordinals, Atomicals, and Taproot—directly to CKB, bypassing the need for cross-chain bridges, and vice versa. The UTXO Stack, CKB’s Bitcoin L2 secured by RGB++, unlocks high-performance parallel chains with near-unlimited scalability without compromising on security. Additionally, the CKB Lightning Network will integrate with Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, ensuring seamless, trustless, and permissionless asset transfers between the networks.
CKB's mainnet went live in November 2019 and achieved its first mining reward halving in November 2023.
