A few friends have asked me about this privately, so I’ll try to explain it in plain language.
Taproot puts multiple spending conditions into a Merkle tree (MAST). When you spend, you only need to reveal the condition you actually used.
Revealing only the condition used means less data needs to be written to the block, which also saves on fees.
The inscription at $BTC made use of Taproot, and $ORDI is the first BRC-20 token. It’s currently at 81608.01.
If you learned something, leave a comment. If anything wasn’t clear, ask away in the comments.
