opcode overview

For each opcode is given: its nemonic without the leading OP_, its hexadecimal byte value, the number of stack items needed (poped) during execution, the number of stack items pushed (after execution). A * after the needed stack items indicates that further bytes from the script following the current opcode are needed. A # indicates that items on the alternative stack are poped/pushed. A @ indicates that further (global) data from transcations is needed.
Different colors indicate different semantic execution groups of opcodes.

opcode descriptions

It follows for each opcode less than decimal 185 (hexa 0xba) a description for its usage. The columns entiteld nemonic, decimal and Hex should be evident. The column input gives the needed items of the stack (and the alternate stack) and the column output indicates the resulting items on the stack (and the alternate stack). The naming of the entries in these two columns is chosen to reflect their interpretation. x,x0,x1,... means arbitrary or no interpretation, a, b and c as a signed integer value, n,index,size and depth non-negative integer values, Boolean as either a true or false.

Reserved opcodes

Nemonic	Decimal	Hex	Description
OP_RESERVED	80	0x50	Transaction is invalid unless occuring in an unexecuted OP_IF branch

OP_RESERVED2	138	0x8a	Transaction is invalid unless occuring in an unexecuted OP_IF branch

Each opcode not assigned (currently also every opcode value > 185) is also reserved. Using an unassigned opcode makes the transaction invalid.

Transparent opcodes

Nemonic	Decimal	Hex	Description
OP_NOP1-OP_NOP10	176-185	0xb0-0xb9	The opcode has no effect.

script validation conditions

A script is considered invalid, if any of these conditions meets:

• the total size of the script exceeds (currently) 10000 bytes
• there are more than (currently) 201 opcodes of opcode value > 0x60 in the script
• each instruction is (currently) limited to maximal 520 bytes. This effects only the opcodes OP_PUSHDATA2 and OP_PUSHDATA4
• the executed opcode of the script has insufficient input (from stack, from script or from anywhere)
• the opcode is not defined (for execution) - indicated by white or light gray background color in the table
• the opcode is disabled (currently 15 opcodes) - indicated by white fontcolor in the above table
• stack overflow occurs during execution of the opcode (currently the number of items on the stack and on the alternate stack is limited to 1000)
• the opcodes OP_VERIF and OP_NOTVERIF invalidate a script which contains this opcode (even if this opcode is not executed!)
• the opcodes OP_ELSE or OP_ENDIF has no matching OP_IF
  
• the script execution has been finished but there is (at least) an unmatched OP_IF
  
• the opcodes OP_VERIFY, OP_EQUALVERIFY, OP_NUMEQUALVERIFY, OP_CHECKSIGVERIFY and OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY invalidate the script if the stack-top item is false
• the execution of OP_RETURN
• the numerical value of the top-stack item is negative or greater than the number of items - 2 on the stack if OP_PICK or OP_ROLL shall be executed
• (the 2nd argument of OP_WITHIN is numerical greater than the top-stack item)
• an item used as pubkey or signature for each of the opcodes OP_CHECKSIG, OP_CHECKSIGVERIFY, OP_CHECKMULTISIG or OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY can be neither a pubkey or signature (for the given hash)
• the number of signature items or the number of public key items on the stack is negative for OP_CHECKMULTISIG or OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY
• there or more signatures items than public key items on the stack for OP_CHECKMULTISIG or OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY
• there are (currently) more than 20 public key items on the stack for OP_CHECKMULTISIG or CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY
• the script execution has been finished and the stack is empty or the top-stack item is false (numerical value 0)

else the script is considered to be valid.
