Recently, the overall activity level of the Bitcoin ecosystem has risen, and many projects that have been in development for a long time have entered the delivery or new milestone stages, such as RGB, SAT 20, BRC 2.0, etc. Odaily Planet Daily will briefly summarize the progress of related 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 RGB on the mainnet, with a total of 21 million tokens, adopting a fair claim model, but each claim requires a payment of about $4.
According to community estimates, claiming RGB tokens will take about 24 hours, but the actual situation is that as of now (5 days later), the claiming progress of RGB tokens is 60%. The main reason may be that the event was too popular, resulting in long website traffic and claiming queues. Bitlight Labs has conducted multiple server upgrades and paused claims to upgrade defensive measures against bots.
According to official announcements, Bitlight Labs has basically completed defensive measures against bot claims and plans to release Bitlight Wallet version 1.1.3 and reopen RGB token claims at 17:00 on August 14, 2025. However, only 10% of the tokens will be opened for claiming as a testing phase, and if the test results are satisfactory, the remaining RGB token claiming progress will be gradually reopened.
Although the RGB protocol's mainnet launch did not meet user expectations and even faced a lot of FUD, from the claiming process, Bitlight Labs is still continuously developing and improving and actively combating bot claims, which has maintained a certain degree of fairness in the claiming process and dispersed token distribution, preventing a large concentration of tokens in the hands of a few individuals, which is beneficial for future community development.
Even without an official trading market yet, the distributed RGB tokens can be directly transferred through wallets. Currently, the price of a single RGB (50 tokens) is between $10-13, achieving a 2-3 times return compared to the claiming cost. Therefore, after the claiming reopens on August 14, the competition for claims may further intensify.

BRC 2.0 Upgrade: The first phase has been postponed to September 2.
BRC 2.0 is an upgrade of 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 at block height 909969 (around August 14) on the mainnet, 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, around September 2.
Perhaps due to the postponement of the upgrade date, the market value of Pre-BRC 2.0 assets has also declined overall. The floor price of the first BRC 2.0 concept NFT Adderrels is currently 0.0076 BTC (approximately $900), down 60% from its peak. However, the Adderrels project team is still operating and has updated details on staking NFTs to obtain token airdrops, which will be distributed in three seasons, releasing 8%, 9%, and 10% of the total supply, with the first quarter token airdrop occurring when BRC 2.0 goes live on September 2.
Another project claiming to be the first Pre-BRC 2.0 token minted on Ordinals, LIQUID, has shifted to the community CTO. Previously, the LIQUID original project team 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 Launched
The SAT 20 protocol is a Bitcoin native asset issuance and circulation protocol developed for two years, with its core feature being asset binding to satoshis, allowing satoshis to flow freely. SatoshiNet, based on the SAT 20 protocol, is a Bitcoin native Layer 2, based on Lightning channels and a parallel BTC network, aimed at expanding the liquidity of Bitcoin mainnet native assets and supporting various protocol assets such as Ordinals, Runes, OrdX, and BRC 20. The SatoshiNet mainnet will officially launch on August 8, 2025.
The core of SatoshiNet lies in four contract capabilities: asset launch contracts (LaunchPool), asset transcendence contracts (Transcend), AMM trading contracts (Swap), and limit trading contracts (LimitOrder). These capabilities enable SatoshiNet to have instant settlement, extremely low fees, and compatibility with Bitcoin assets.
Currently, SatoshiNet has deployed four transcendence contracts, namely BTC, pearl, and rarepizza (ordx assets), and 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, with the issued assets called satoshi assets (SAT 20 ASSETS), bound to satoshis and possessing their properties. Pearl is the first token of the ORDX protocol and has become the governance token of the SatoshiNet network.
The publicly announced team members of the SAT 20 protocol include market operations and English region business development huige and technical director Jian Gang Shan. SATSWAP is currently the first DEX of SatoshiNet, featuring token launches, trading markets, limit orders, and other functionalities.
Although the SAT 20 protocol has been under development for two years and has formed a solid community, it has not created a wealth effect strong enough to attract more attention.
Bitcoin native Layer 2 Spark: Launchpad launched.
Spark claims to be a Bitcoin native L2 designed for payments and settlements, but it 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 Flashnet, conducted LRC 20 AMM functionality tests on Spark, but the tests did not go smoothly, and it is estimated that it will take some time for the official launch of DEX.
Meanwhile, on August 1, Bitcoin ecosystem token launch platform Luminex announced a partnership with Spark to launch a Launchpad, which briefly excited ecosystem players, but it has not yet launched. However, on August 11, another LRC 20 Launchpad utxo.fun launched synchronously with Flashnet's AMM testing, but it encountered serious issues, and the platform processed user refunds and temporarily suspended the issuance of tokens.
However, despite this, the leading token of LRC 20, FSPKS (ending with b 55 e), still has a single floor price of $100, which is 50 times the initial minting cost of $2.

BitVM 2 Bitcoin Bridge Fiamma: Mainnet launched.
Fiamma is a Bitcoin wealth management platform, with its core products being a non-custodial super app Fiamma One for earning BTC rewards with one click and Fiamma Bridge built on BitVM 2. On August 6, Fiamma officially launched, allowing BTC to be transferred to 11 chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Aptos, BNB Chain, and Base.
At the same time, to encourage user participation, Fiamma launched a points task on August 8, where 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 1:1 natively pegged to BTC, achieving trust minimization through BitVM 2 technology, while combined with Fiamma Bridge and Fiamma One, Fiamma aims to provide more on-chain earnings while protecting the funds of BTC holders.
