What you can do
VOUT is the first mobile wallet for RGB v0.12. It brings the account, asset, and payment views into one app. The account you select determines which on-chain keys and balances you are using. The Bitcoin and Lightning views distinguish funds in your wallet from funds held in the Lightning service. Check availability when comparing an installed release with the capabilities described here.
Hold and use Bitcoin
Create a wallet or import existing recovery material, obtain a receiving address, and send Bitcoin after reviewing the destination and network fee. Activity records the payment as it moves from submission to confirmation. Several accounts can live on one device, but their balances and backups remain account-specific.
An imported private-key account has a narrower role than a wallet created from a recovery phrase. It is a Bitcoin account for the imported key. RGB issuance and receipt require a supported HD wallet. Accounts and imports explains how address type, account index, and passphrase affect recovery.
Receive and send RGB assets
A recipient creates a request for a particular asset and amount. The sender reviews that request, approves the payment, and the wallets exchange the proof data needed to validate it. Bitcoin confirms the anchor transaction. VOUT then advances the saved payment through its remaining checks.
The app shows the exact Contract ID and the asset’s precision. Pending and available amounts stay separate. If a payment needs attention, you can return to its saved activity instead of treating every retry as a new payment. Read Send and receive before moving an RGB asset for the first time.
Find an asset or issue one
Explore provides an asset directory. Names and tickers help you find an entry; the Contract ID identifies the contract. An issuer supplies public asset details, so appearing in the directory is not an independent assessment of the issuer or a promise that another wallet can receive the asset.
The issuance flow lets a supported account define a name, ticker, precision, and supply. The final review matters: those choices become part of the issued contract. VOUT saves the resulting asset in the wallet and can publish its descriptive information to the directory. An asset can be saved locally while its public listing is still waiting to synchronize.
Issuing an asset does not create demand for it, give it a market price, or establish a redemption obligation. An issuer who promises redemption needs to explain that arrangement separately from the RGB contract.
Make payments through VOUT Lightning
VOUT Lightning is VOUT’s own Lightning service: VOUT builds and operates its node, its account ledger and the app flows around them. Add BTC or a supported RGB asset to a separate Lightning balance, pay a Lightning invoice or a VOUT user by username, receive payments, and request a withdrawal. A transfer between VOUT users settles at once and is free, for RGB assets as well as BTC. Your on-chain keys do not give you unilateral control over funds while they are held in that service.
There are different ways for a payment to settle. A transfer to another VOUT account can stay within the ledger. A payment to an external Lightning recipient needs a supported route and enough liquidity. How VOUT Lightning works follows both paths.
Keep asset activity in context
The product also includes profiles, conversations, group invitations, and market interfaces. A conversation helps people agree on what they are paying for; the wallet’s review still decides what will be sent. A listing or quote is not a completed trade. The network, contract, amount, and resulting activity remain the records to check.
The ecosystem chapter explains how discovery, issuance, and payments fit together. Availability and development separates those product surfaces from claims about market liquidity, cross-wallet support, or a completed public launch.
