Proposed BIP for MuSig2 Descriptors
Posted on: October 10, 2023 22:30 UTC
has proposed a new BIP (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) draft for MuSig2 descriptors.
The draft can be found on the GitHub repository at https://github.com/achow101/bips/blob/musig2-descriptors/bip-musig2-descriptors.mediawiki. MuSig2 is an improved version of the MuSig signature scheme, which allows multiple signers to create a single signature for a Bitcoin transaction. The new draft focuses on introducing descriptors for working with MuSig2 in Bitcoin Core. Descriptors provide a high-level abstraction for defining sets of addresses and scripts that can be used in various contexts.The proposed BIP outlines the syntax and semantics of MuSig2 descriptors and provides examples to illustrate their usage. It covers topics such as public key derivation, script generation, and spending policies. The goal is to standardize the use of MuSig2 descriptors in Bitcoin software, making it easier for developers to implement and use this feature.In addition to the draft itself, Andrew's email also includes a link to a pull request on the Bitcoin Improvement Proposals repository. This pull request proposes adding the MuSig2 descriptor draft to the list of BIPs. You can find the pull request at https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1001. Overall, Andrew's email introduces a BIP draft for MuSig2 descriptors, providing a comprehensive explanation of the syntax, semantics, and usage of these descriptors. The draft aims to standardize the use of MuSig2 in Bitcoin software and is accompanied by a pull request for its inclusion in the BIP repository.
