Bitcoin blockchain solution startup, IOV Labs, recently introduced the RIF Lumino Light Client.

The new offering "will allow to any DApp or mobile application to take the great advantages of the RIF Lumino Network," an IOV Labs representative told Cointelegraph in an email.

But what is the RIF Lumino Network?

A 2nd layer payment network on Bitcoin's blockchain

IOV Labs manages Rootstock, or RSK, a sidechain on Bitcoin's blockchain, which allows smart contract capabilities on the network. IOV Labs calls RSK a 2d layer solution on acme of Bitcoin'southward blockchain, which is layer one, the representative antiseptic.

IOV Labs' May 13 proclamation saw the RIF Lumino Light Client unveiled, letting integrators build blockchain-based solutions without complete blockchain node functioning, IOV Labs detailed in a argument provided to Cointelegraph.

"RIF Lumino Network is the beginning off-concatenation payments solution on top of RSK," the representative said. "Y'all can create an off-concatenation payment aqueduct in any ERC20 compliant token deployed on peak of RSK,"

IOV Labs too manages a third layer solution on Bitcoin's network, chosen RIF.

The Lumino Network improves scaling

IOV Labs' RIF Lumino Network aims for several goal posts in terms of improvement, when compared with Bitcoin'southward main concatenation. The new solution looks to cut downward on fees while facilitating thousands of transaction-per-second, or TPS, the representative noted.

The RIF Lumino Network also shoots for "nearly real fourth dimension confirmation times," while making "Lumino interoperable with other networks, including Lightning, in the nearly future — all without losing security," the representative added.

Scaling has been a hot topic over the past few years as the Lightning Network, some other layer two Bitcoin solution, aims to improve on Bitcoin'due south sluggish network TPS numbers.
