Taproot is a proposed Bitcoin protocol upgrade that can be deployed as a backwards-compatibe soft fork. By combining the Schnorr signature algorithm with MAST (Merkelized Abstract Syntax Trees) and a new scripting language called Tapscript, Taproot will expand Bitcoin’s smart contract flexibility, while offering more privacy by letting users mask complex smart contracts as a regular bitcoin transaction. | taprootactivation.github.io | Zootzle
