RGB Node
RGB Node is a daemon/service which runs in the background, provides RPC API,
and allows you to always be online and accept incoming RGB transfers without
any third-party server. You can install it on your server machine and then
interact with it locally or remotely by using rgb-cli
command line utility.
You may also add your RGB Node address to RGB wallets that support it, which will
allow you to issue invoices using your own RGB node instance.
NB: Starting v0.10, RGB doesn't require to run a node in order to use the system.
RGB comes with a command-line tool rgb
, which handles all
operation without the need for any background daemon or service outside of
usual bitcoin blockchain indexers (like Elecrtum, Esplora, Mempool) or Bitcoin
Core.
At the present moment RGB Node is being re-designed and refactored to support needs of enterprises (exchanges, asset explorers, hosted wallets) and those RGB users who would like to access the same wallets from multiple devices.
Please pay attention that the current version of RGB Node supports the previous RGB protocol version, v0.9, and is not compatible with the latest protocol changes. Until a new RGB Node v0.11 is released it is recommended to use the RGB command-line tool as described in the previous section.
