Poinsot, Roose, and Sanders developed a Bitcoin proposal enhancing key functionalities.

Their work introduces `OP_TEMPLATEHASH`, a Taproot-native operation simplifying existing mechanisms.

Documentation and rationale for `OP_TEMPLATEHASH` are detailed in external BIP texts and pull requests.

Tadge Dryja, Davidson Souza, and Calvin Kim propose three Bitcoin Improvement Proposals emphasizing Utreexo.

Utreexo enables transaction verification without the entire Unspent Transaction Output set, improving blockchain efficiency.

They seek community feedback on these conceptual BIPs via GitHub to refine their approach for a scalable blockchain.

A study found Bitcoin's Taproot secure against quantum attacks using the QROM, discounting SHA256 vulnerabilities.

It proposes a two-phase softfork for Bitcoin, initially adding post-quantum signatures, then disabling Schnorr and ECDSA pre-large-scale quantum computing.

The paper states a quantum attacker needs at least 2^92 machines for a 50% success rate against Taproot, focusing future security concerns on classical computing advancements.

The correspondence details Josh's method with unique inscription and location attributes.

It suggests standardizing Salvatore's method before adding Josh's unique aspects.

This indicates a desire to merge both methods for a comprehensive solution.

Users of Liana explore extending Bitcoin's timelocks to ~10 years due to demand.

A method suggests using bit 21 in `nSequence` for longer timelocks, multiplying duration by 8.

The experiment includes a tool for creating compatible transactions, with feedback and alternatives discussed.

Jager and Teinturier proposed Upfront and Time-Dependent Reverse Hold Fees for the LN.

Enhancements include secret confirmations and burn outputs to secure fee allocation and promote cooperation.

The advanced protocols establish a framework for precise, incentive-based fee assignment within the LN.
