Rust library implementing confidential & scalable client-validated smart 
contracts for Bitcoin & Lightning.

The current list of the projects based on the library include:
* [RGB Node](https://github.com/LNP-BP/rgb-node): standalone & embeddable node
  for running RGB
* [RGB SDK](https://github.com/LNP-BP/rgb-sdk): SDK for developing mobile, web,
  desktop & server-side wallets and doing other forms of software integration 
  with RGB Node

To learn more about the technologies enabled by the library please check:
* [RGB Technology Internals](https://github.com/LNP-BP/FAQ/blob/master/Presentation%20slides/)
* [LNP/BP Nodes Initiative](https://github.com/LNP-BP/FAQ/blob/master/Presentation%20slides/LNP-BP%20Nodes%20Initiative.pdf)

The development of the library projects is supported by [LNP/BP Standards 
Association](https://github.com/LNP-BP).

Previously the code of the library was part of [LNP/BP Core Library](https://github.com/LNP-BP/rust-lnpbp)
but later was extracted into a separate library in this repository via fork.
The reasons for that were the facts that LNP/BP Core Lib has a lot of usage
outside RGB project scope, and the overall dependencies & feature management
complexity, compile times etc grow significantly. Another reason is the need for
different review policies & security requirements (LNP/BP Core Lib may be more
experimental than RGB).

The library is based on other projects:
* [rust-bitcoin](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin)
* [bitcoin_hashes](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/bitcoin_hashes)
* [rust-secp256k1](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1)
* [rust-secp256k1-zkp](https://github.com/ElementsProject/rust-secp256k1-zkp) 
  for Pedersen commitments and Bulletproofs used in confidential state inside 
  RGB protocols
* [rust-miniscript](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-miniscript)
* [rust-lnpbp](https://github.com/LNP-BP/rust-lnpbp) LNP/BP Core Library
