Lightning Labs has released Taproot Assets v0.6, an update to the multi-asset Lightning protocol on Bitcoin mainnet.
The update enhances stablecoin support on the Bitcoin Lightning Network, allowing for improved minting, sending, and receiving of stablecoins.
The release simplifies asset issuance and usage by introducing the 'group_key' identifier for assets, enabling interchangeability among tranches of the same asset.
Changes to the Request for Quote (RFQ) protocol now allow users to agree on time-limited price quotes with edge nodes using the BOLT 11 invoice format.
Recipients can now use up to 20 inbound Taproot Assets channels for payments, increasing routing options and supporting larger transactions.
