True self-custodial finance on Lightning is coming
If you are interested how the protocol works in more detail you can checkout this blogpost, we are working together with Thibaut from Crypto Garage on the development of rust-dlc on top of rust-lightning (part of LDK). rust-dlc is what enables the self-custodial setup.

Rust - First Impressions
I am not really a newbie in Rust. I had used it about a year back when contributing to rust-lightning. I really have to thank the awesome organizers of Summer of Bitcoin who advised me that knowing Rust (even beginner level) was an advantage and Jeffrey Czyz & The Blue Matt for being so supportive.

RGB explanation on Bitcoin dev mailing list
Recently Maxim Orlovsky, the lead developer and architect of RGB wrote an RGB explanation letter to bitcoin dev mailing list, which led to a very productive discussion on the topics of what RGB is (spoiler - no, it's not a token protocol), how it works, what can be done with it. One of the core lines in the email was the v0.10 release that happened a week back and demonstrated how RGB works in the wild in the command line. Check GitHub and YouTube videos with RGB demo for more info. Maxim also dismissed many myths and misconceptions created over the past years by people outside of RGB dev team. Initial email : https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2023-April/021554.html Responses by Maxim Orlovsky: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2023-April/021559.html https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2023-April/021564.html https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2023-April/021577.html

'What is RGB and why you should care' article
Documentation takes time. Also, we are now finishing the release v0.10 of our libraries (RGB Core library has already been released https://github.com/RGB-WG/rgb-core/releases/tag/v0.10.0-beta.2 which consists a lot of refactoring of the consensus-level code and introducing new things such as Interfaces, all of which made writing a classical documentation a bit useless in the past. With the version 0.10 all the materials will be updated and are being updated as we speak.
