Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | BIP 341: Taproot: SegWit version 1 spending rules |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | A Bitcoin spend that can look like a single key, while still hiding a tree of alternative scripts until one of them is used. Schnorr signatures and the key-path spend are the mechanism. Amounts stay public. This is not a privacy coin. |
| Who may write | Pieter Wuille, Jonas Nick and Anthony Towns |
| What is settled | A public key tweaked by the Merkle root of a script tree. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Amounts, the graph of transactions, and a revealed script are still visible. |
| What this library says afterwards | If most users do not use the key path, the anonymity set the BIP hopes for does not arise. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
