Subject: [bitcoin-dev] Examining ScriptPubkeys in Bitcoin Script
Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2023 14:10:37 +1030	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87v8b2vu4q.fsf@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)

Hi all,

        I've done an exploration of what would be required (given
OP_TX/OP_TXHASH or equivalent way of pushing a scriptPubkey on the
stack) to usefully validate Taproot outputs in Bitcoin Script.  Such
functionality is required for usable vaults, at least.

        https://rusty.ozlabs.org/2023/10/20/examining-scriptpubkey-in-script.html

(If anyone wants to collaborate to produce a prototype, and debug my
surely-wrong script examples, please ping me!)

TL;DR: if we have OP_TXHASH/OP_TX, and add OP_MULTISHA256 (or OP_CAT),
OP_KEYADDTWEAK and OP_LESS (or OP_CONDSWAP), and soft-fork weaken the
OP_SUCCESSx rule (or pop-script-from-stack), we can prove a two-leaf
tapscript tree in about 110 bytes of Script.  This allows useful
spending constraints based on a template approach.

Thanks!
Rusty.
