About taproot Upgrade
Taproot is a Bitcoin network upgrade that went live on November 14, 2021, and is currently in use. As with Schnorr signatures, one of the most eagerly awaited Bitcoin technology breakthroughs since the debut of SegWit is the introduction of Taproot.
In the bitcoin realm, privacy, scalability, and security are all important considerations. However, even though Bitcoin is the world’s most commonly used cryptocurrency, these issues must be addressed. Exactly that is what the Taproot initiative is attempting to accomplish
