RGB puts the dollars on Bitcoin.
Lightning makes them instant.
Tokens on Bitcoin
RGB assets are bound to Bitcoin outputs. No new blockchain, no bridge; data stays private between sender and receiver.
Through the hub
Your payment rides a Lightning channel into the PhotonBolt hub and out to the receiver, with the stablecoin inside the channel.
About a second
The receiver has the funds almost immediately. Channels settle back to Bitcoin whenever they close.
PHOTON: the hub's energy
A fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 PHOTON on BNB Smart Chain, the intermediate home of the token until PhotonBolt reaches Bitcoin mainnet, where holders migrate 1:1 to PHOTON as an RGB asset.
