Blockstream CEO and OKX President Conversation in Hong Kong: How Lightning Network Reshapes the Global Payment Landscape - Lightning Connect Summit will be held at Consensus Hong Kong Consensus Week on February 18

On the afternoon of February 18, Lightning Connect: Transforming Global Payment, co-hosted by CKB Eco Fund, Breez and UTXO Stack, and strategically supported by OKX, Blockstream and ChainCatcher, will be held in Hong Kong. As the most watched Bitcoin-themed event during Consensus HK, this summit will bring together Bitcoin developers, payment innovators and infrastructure builders to discuss how Bitcoin and Lightning Network can promote global payment innovation.

Blockstream CEO Adam Back and OKX President Hong Fang will have an in-depth dialogue on "The Evolution of Global Payment Infrastructure: Lightning and Beyond" in Fireside Chat to discuss the evolution of Bitcoin payments, the future of Lightning Network and the innovative trends of global payment infrastructure.

The summit will also include a Lightning Network application demo, a roundtable discussion between ecosystem builders and investors, and other sessions, covering cutting-edge fields such as AI agent and encrypted e-commerce payment, to promote development collaboration and commercial implementation. $BTC $CKB

The decentralized on-chain data platform Ave.ai announces the integration of the Nervos CKB public chain and its decentralized trading protocol UTXOSwap, marking a deep cooperation between the two parties in on-chain data services and cross-chain trading ecosystems.

Through this integration, users can easily access asset data related to the CKB ecosystem and RGB++ Layer, including the stablecoin RUSD, the flagship token SEAL of the RGB++ Layer, and more memecoins from CKB.Fi.

This collaboration not only further enhances users' ability to access the CKB and RGB++ ecosystems but also brings stronger liquidity foundations to UTXOSwap. At the same time, Ave.ai will become one of the few comprehensive data platforms supporting the BTC UTXO model ecosystem and Nervos $CKB , further expanding its leading advantage in the on-chain data services market.

UTXO Stack releases white paper, roadmap, and a brand new official website; will launch liquidity incentive program for the Lightning Network in 2025.

The modular BTC L2 blockchain launch platform UTXO Stack officially releases the white paper "The Decentralized Liquidity Staking Layer for Hybrid Lightning Network" and introduces the 2025 roadmap along with a brand new official website. The white paper elaborates on UTXO Stack as a liquidity staking layer for the Lightning Network, integrating core components such as Hybrid Lightning Network (Hybrid LN), Decentralized Liquidity Staking Protocol (DLSP), Swap Node, Wallet, and SDK to jointly address key issues currently faced by the Lightning Network, including insufficient liquidity, high entry barriers, and lack of stablecoin support. By merging the Lightning Network with Nervos CKB's Fiber Network, UTXO Stack aims to create an efficiently scalable payment network, promoting the widespread adoption of Bitcoin payments.

According to the 2025 roadmap, UTXO Stack will launch the first-ever large-scale airdrop incentive program for BTC liquidity within the Lightning Network in January 2025, and will complete the first Token Generation Event (TGE) within the Lightning Network ecosystem in the first quarter of 2025, further supporting liquidity and ecosystem development for the Lightning Network. $BTC $CKB #闪电网络

💥Lightning Network Liquid Staking Protocol UTXOStack Completes Series A Financing, Preparing for TGE in Q1 2025

The Lightning Network Liquid Staking Protocol UTXOStack has completed Series A financing with a valuation of 50 million USD, jointly invested by UTXO Management, CMS, and PAKA. Previously, it completed a seed round of financing led by ABCDE Capital and SNZ Capital, with participation from CKB Eco Fund, OKX Ventures, UTXO Management, Waterdrip Capital, Matrixport, y2z Ventures, and DRK Lab.

It is reported that after the completion of this round of financing, UTXOStack will launch its first-ever large-scale airdrop incentive program targeting BTC liquidity on the Lightning Network in early January 2025. Subsequently, it will coordinate with the launch of the CKB Lightning Network Fiber Network mainnet to provide liquidity airdrop incentives for CKB and RGB++ related assets. The TGE is expected to be completed in Q1 2025, marking the first TGE in the Lightning Network ecosystem.

The on-chain DOB project Nervape has launched an on-chain composable feature and will conduct an airdrop this month.

The on-chain DOB project Nervape has introduced the on-chain composable feature Nervape Bundle. Users can use this feature to combine and dismantle multiple assets while retaining the original asset forms and values. This on-chain composability is based on the unique capabilities of CKB and RGB++, centered around ownership, enabling users to manage the added value of assets with DIY capabilities. Currently, this solution has been open-sourced, and leveraging CKB-VM capabilities, this solution is not limited to combining Nervape assets; in the future, it is expected to enable the combination of multiple representations, or other tokens, inscriptions, 05274178647shannon, BTC sat, etc.

Nervape will conduct a snapshot of Nervape Gear and an airdrop event on December 17.

RGB++ ecological leading asset Seal performed strongly this week with its unique protocol advantages and strong community support, and rose by 430% in seven days. As the BTC ecosystem gradually heats up and the CKB Lightning Network Fiber Network mainnet is about to go online, Seal's value capture ability is rapidly showing.

It is reported that Seal will become the first RGB++ asset supported by Fiber Network. Seal holders can participate in Lightning-based BTCFi such as decentralized liquidity lending, leading the next development direction of Bitcoin native financial services.

The CKB Ecosystem Fund will continue to invest a large amount of resources in the development of the RGB++ protocol and support its compatibility with the $Doge chain.

Baiyu, the head of the CKB Ecosystem Fund, announced on Twitter that the RGB++ protocol is a strategic focus for the CKB Ecosystem Fund in this cycle, and a large amount of resources will continue to be invested in the development of this protocol both now and in the future. The goal is to develop it into an ERC20 and ERC721 on the Bitcoin layer, bringing more powerful smart contract functionality and performance expansion to the Bitcoin and UTXO ecosystem. It is reported that the next step for RGB++ will be to support the $Doge chain, and after launching the BTC Meme launchpad, a Meme launchpad will be introduced on the Doge chain.

He also stated that the Lightning Network is a strategic direction for CKB's long-term layout and will greatly enhance the competitive advantage of the RGB++ protocol. Notably, several teams are currently not only focusing on the development of the protocol itself but are also promoting its compatibility with the Lightning Network, such as Taproot Assets and RGB. As of now, the RGB++ ecological Meme leader coin SEAL has increased by 50% within 24 hours, and CKB has risen by 12%.

CKCon & CKWeek Successfully Concluded in Chiang Mai

The Nervos Foundation successfully held the Common Knowledge Conference (CKCON) in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The conference focused on themes such as the P2P spirit of Bitcoin, the UTXO model, and the RGB++ protocol, delving into the role of blockchain technology in promoting crypto payments and the development of a P2P economy. The event attracted leaders from the global blockchain field and further facilitated international exchanges within the CKB community.

Meanwhile, the CKB Eco Fund established CKB House in the center of Chiang Mai as a social and exhibition space for the CKWeek event, gathering industry experts to showcase the real potential of the P2P economy and launching the Nervape “Color Vibes Pop-Up” store that supports CKB payments.

This event in Chiang Mai was not only an innovative link and collision of knowledge but also demonstrated the immense potential of the $CKB ecosystem. We look forward to the continuous growth and increasing strength of the CKB ecosystem!
