Taproot Uses

This page is an index of projects using Taproot in an interesting way. Please update with links. Also see Bech32 adoption for Wallets implementing Bech32m and P2TR.

Phases Key:

• Implemented: Real running code without major known deficiencies.
• Spec: A detailed document describing how something should work.
• Prototype: A component of something is built or a toy-level implementation.
• Idea: A description of something which could be built.
