Technical principles｜What did Bitcoin’s Taproot upgrade change?
Ordinals inscriptions, which emerged in early 2023, write data into the witness portion of Taproot transactions, and BRC-20 tokens appeared soon after.
When spending, only the conditions actually used are revealed, reducing the amount of data that needs to be written to the block and thus lowering transaction fees.
The inscription at $BTC used Taproot, and $ORDI was the first BRC-20 token. It currently stands at 81608.01.
Understanding the principles helps you make more informed decisions—not predict whether prices will rise or fall.
