- Bitcoin Script is deliberately limited (not Turing-complete) — by design, preventing unbounded computation that could create systemic vulnerabilities - Taproot activated at block 709,632 (November 2021) — the most significant protocol upgrade since SegWit, combining three BIPs simultaneously - Schnorr signatures replace ECDSA: multi-party signing now appears as single-party on-chain — a 5-of-7 multisig looks identical to a simple payment, improving privacy and reducing fees - MAST (Merkelized Alternative Script Trees): complex spending conditions are committed in a Merkle tree — only the executed branch is revealed on-chain, all unused paths remain private - BitVM (2023) and Taproot: by encoding computation verification in Tapscript trees, BitVM enables Bitcoin to verify arbitrary off-chain computations — expanding Bitcoin's programmability without a hard fork
