Examining ScriptPubkeys in Bitcoin Script

Oct 31 - Oct 31, 2023

  • Rusty explores the feasibility of validating Taproot outputs in Bitcoin Script to enable useful vaults.

He suggests including opcodes such as OP_TXHASH/OP_TX, OP_MULTISHA256 (or OP_CAT), OP_KEYADDTWEAK, and OP_LESS (or OP_CONDSWAP) to achieve this functionality. Additionally, he proposes soft-forking the OP_SUCCESSx rule or adding an opcode to pop the script from the stack. These additions would allow for proving a two-leaf Taproot scriptPubkey, which is crucial for implementing vaults. Rusty invites collaboration from others to produce a prototype and debug the script examples provided in his blog post.

The email also discusses the concept of a script tree, which can be implemented in approximately 110 bytes of Script. This implementation enables the imposition of spending constraints based on a template approach.

Rusty expresses gratitude and signs off as "Rusty."
