Recently, the overall activity in the Bitcoin ecosystem has increased, and many long-term projects have entered delivery or new milestone stages, such as RGB, SAT 20, BRC 2.0, etc. Odaily Planet Daily will briefly summarize the progress of relevant projects in this article for ecosystem players to explore wealth opportunities.
RGB Protocol: The first token on the mainnet will reopen for claims on August 14.
The RGB protocol went live on the Bitcoin mainnet on August 7, simultaneously issuing the first token on the mainnet, RGB, with a total supply of 21 million tokens, adopting a fair claiming model, but each claim requires a fee of approximately $4.
According to community estimates, completing the RGB token claims will take about 24 hours, however, the actual situation is that as of now (after 5 days), the RGB token claiming progress is at 60%. The main reason may be that the event is too popular, causing high website traffic and long claiming queues. Bitlight Labs has performed several server upgrades and paused claims to enhance defensive measures against bots.
According to the official announcement, Bitlight Labs has largely completed defensive measures against bot claims and plans to release Bitlight Wallet v1.1.3 on August 14, 2025, at 17:00 and reopen RGB token claims. However, only 10% of the tokens will be opened for claim testing, and if the test results are satisfactory, the remaining RGB token allocation will be gradually reopened.
Although the RGB protocol's mainnet launch did not meet user expectations and even faced significant FUD, from the claiming process, Bitlight Labs continues to develop improvements and actively combat bot claiming behaviors, to some extent maintaining the fairness of claims and the dispersion of token chips, preventing a large concentration of chips in the hands of a few individuals, which is beneficial for the later development of the community.
Even though there is currently no official trading market, the distributed RGB tokens can be directly transferred via wallets. Currently, the price of a single RGB (50 tokens) is between $10-13, achieving a 2-3 times return compared to the claim cost. Therefore, after the reopening of claims on August 14, the competition for claims may further intensify.

BRC 2.0 Upgrade: First Phase Delayed to September 2
BRC 2.0 is an upgrade to the BRC 20 protocol launched by Best in Slot, aimed at enabling EVM-compatible smart contract functionality for all BRC 20 tokens. Best in Slot originally planned to conduct the first phase upgrade of BRC 2.0 on the mainnet at block height 909969 (around August 14), enabling 6-character BRC 20 tokens and launching a launchpad, but due to insufficient preparation, the upgrade has been postponed to block height 912,690, approximately September 2.
Perhaps due to the postponement of the upgrade date, the overall market value of Pre-BRC 2.0 assets has also declined. The first BRC 2.0 conceptual NFT Adderrels currently has a floor price of 0.0076 BTC (approximately $900), down 60% from its peak. However, the Adderrels project team is still operating, updating details on staking NFTs to obtain token airdrops, which will be distributed in three seasons, releasing 8%, 9%, and 10% of the total supply respectively, with the first quarter token airdrop distributed on September 2, when BRC 2.0 goes live.
Another project claiming to be the first Pre-BRC 2.0 token minted on Ordinals, LIQUID, has shifted to a community CTO model. Previously, the original project team of LIQUID intended to sell the entire project, causing a wave of panic. Currently, LIQUID's price is 0.00006 BTC, close to the minting cost.

SAT 20 Protocol: SatoshiNet Mainnet Launch
The SAT 20 protocol is a BTC native asset issuance and circulation protocol developed over two years, with its core feature being asset binding to Satoshi, allowing free movement alongside Satoshi. SatoshiNet, based on the SAT 20 protocol, is a Bitcoin native Layer 2 built on Lightning channels + parallel BTC networks, aiming to expand the liquidity of BTC native assets and support various protocol assets such as Ordinals, Runes, OrdX, and BRC 20. SatoshiNet's mainnet officially launched on August 8, 2025.
The core of SatoshiNet lies in four contractual capabilities: asset launch contracts (LaunchPool), asset transcendence contracts (Transcend), AMM trading contracts (Swap), and limit trading contracts (LimitOrder). These capabilities enable instant settlement, very low fees, and compatibility with Bitcoin assets.
Currently, SatoshiNet has deployed four transcendence contracts: BTC, pearl, and rarepizza (ordx assets), DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON (Runes assets). Ordx is the native asset issuance of the SAT 20 protocol, which is an enhanced version of the Ordinals protocol. The issued assets are called Satoshi assets (SAT 20 ASSETS), and the assets are bound to Satoshi, possessing Satoshi's properties. Pearl is the first token of the ORDX protocol and has also become the governance token of the SatoshiNet network.
The publicly disclosed team members of the SAT 20 protocol include market operations and English region business development huige and technical director JianGangShan. SATSWAP is the first DEX of SatoshiNet, featuring token launches, trading markets, limit orders, and more.
Although the SAT 20 protocol has been under construction for two years and has formed a solid community, it has not generated a wealth effect strong enough to attract more attention.
Bitcoin Native Layer 2 Spark: Launchpad Launch
Spark claims to be a Bitcoin native L2 designed for payments and settlements, but does not support smart contracts and has its own token issuance standard LRC 20. On August 11, one of the two node operators of the Spark protocol, Spark browser sparkscan, conducted AMM functionality testing for LRC 20 on Spark, but the testing did not go smoothly, and it is estimated that more time is needed before the official DEX launch.
Additionally, on August 1, the Bitcoin ecosystem token launch platform Luminex announced a collaboration with Spark to launch a Launchpad, which briefly excited ecosystem players, but it has not yet been launched. However, on August 11, another LRC 20 Launchpad, utxo.fun, was launched in sync with the AMM test on Flashnet, but it still encountered serious issues, leading the platform to process user refunds and temporarily prohibit the issuance of tokens.
However, despite this, the leading token of LRC 20, FSPKS (ending in b 55 e), still has a floor price of $100, compared to the initial minting cost of $2, resulting in a 50-fold return.

BitVM 2 Bitcoin Bridge Fiamma: Mainnet Launched
Fiamma is a Bitcoin wealth management platform, with its core product being the non-custodial super application Fiamma One, which allows users to earn BTC yields with one click, and the Fiamma Bridge built on BitVM 2. On August 6, Fiamma officially launched, allowing BTC transfers to 11 chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Aptos, BNB Chain, and Base.
To encourage user participation, Fiamma launched a points task on August 8. Minting 0.00001 FIABTC earns 1 Alpaca point, holding 0.00001 FIABTC earns 3 Alpaca points monthly, and depositing FIABTC into DeFi protocols earns 12 Alpaca points monthly. FIABTC is natively anchored to BTC at a 1:1 ratio, utilizing BitVM 2 technology to minimize trust, while combining Fiamma Bridge and Fiamma One, Fiamma aims to ensure the safety of BTC holders' funds while providing more on-chain yields.
