Bitcoin’s privacy upgrade Taproot is now being voted on for implementation
Bitcoin is 1787 blocks away from being more private and scalable, if miners accept to implement Taproot before the next difficulty adjustment.
Taproot is a Bitcoin soft fork that integrates Schnorr cryptographic signatures, an alternative signature method to the ECDSA currently implemented on the network. This upgrade, in very simple terms, allows the creation of a kind of master key to summarize a set of signatures into a single one.
