Many thanks for the links @n0nce! I've started learning RGB schema and Taro. From my initial install I see
1) It could be too expensive to execute this on chain
RGB and Taro solely run off-chain by default.
Side note: has anyone even used the Tao protocol for anything meaningful (not a few-lines student projectvon Github)? Or have they just forgot about it as soon as the fanfare around it died down?
I don't know of any live projects on either 'network', unfortunately. It seems to me though that Taro is less mature than RGB by now; with its very first release on GitHub only happening this September, meanwhile RGB Core releases go back to 2021 and development seems more active, as well. Latest release just 2 days ago.
Well it looks like Lightning Labs just dropped the hot potato then (or maybe they are too concerned with using their Lightning Network implementation to mitigate the fallout of FullRBF, to update it with anything useful).
