The recent changes in the technical specifications related to BIP-360 have led to an important update concerning compatibility and future-proofing in blockchain protocols. As of August 14, 2026, the reference to specific prefixes like bc1z and bc1r has been removed from the documentation and implementation guidelines. This adjustment ensures that the format remains neutral and adaptable as the BIP-360 evolution progresses. The updated standards are now described simply as BIP-360 compatible, specifically accommodating both P2MR and P2QRH types without hardcoding any previous prefix constraints.

Furthermore, the cryptographic seed configuration continues to uphold a robust security protocol by maintaining a pure 32-byte SLH-DSA structure. These modifications aim to enhance the flexibility and longevity of the protocol in response to evolving technological needs and community feedback. For more detailed information and to access the latest updates, one can refer to the project's updated repository.
