About Bitlight Labs
Bitlight Labs is a development team focused on the RGB protocol, building infrastructure that brings smart contract capabilities to the Bitcoin network. Their main product is the Bitlight Wallet, which integrates both RGB assets and Lightning Network payments in one application.
Their core technical approach uses RGB's client-side validation model. Unlike traditional blockchains where all data is stored on-chain, RGB keeps most data locally and only stores cryptographic commitments on the Bitcoin blockchain. This design improves privacy, reduces on-chain congestion, and lowers transaction costs. Combined with the Lightning Network, it enables fast, low-cost transfers of RGB-issued assets like stablecoins.
The main market problem Bitlight addresses is Bitcoin's limited scripting capabilities, which have historically prevented complex financial applications on the network. By building on RGB, they enable token issuance, smart contracts, and stablecoin payments without requiring changes to Bitcoin's base layer.
In the past six months (February to August 2026), Bitlight Labs has focused on maturing their wallet product and expanding the RGB ecosystem. They released updates improving the user experience for managing RGB assets and Lightning channels. The team also contributed to the RGB protocol specification and tooling, working toward broader adoption of the technology. No major negative events were reported during this period, though the project remains in early stages with limited mainstream adoption.
Bitlight Labs, a core infrastructure provider for the RGB protocol on Bitcoin, has progressed through several key milestones. In 2024, the company announced the RGB mainnet launch, opening asset minting for testing, marking a foundational step for its scalable asset layer. A significant development came in September 2025 when Bitlight Labs completed a $9.6 million Pre-A funding round led by Amber Group and Fundamental Labs, with participation from over twenty investors including United Overseas Bank and HV Capital. This capital was directed toward advancing RGB's integration with the Lightning Network, enabling native Bitcoin stablecoin payments. Subsequently, the project released its LIGHT token, with an airdrop query page and a token generation event hinted for September 27, 2025. Major exchanges followed, with OKX listing LIGHT perpetual contracts and Binance Alpha adding the token. These events underscore Bitlight Labs' trajectory from protocol development to exchange integration, positioning it as a key player in bringing stablecoin payments and asset issuance natively to Bitcoin's ecosystem.
