As I perceive, p2pkh
and p2sh
are nothing higher than p2wpkh
and p2wsh
, apart from compatibilty.
After taproot, p2wpkh
can be nothing higher than p2tr
, apart from compatibilty(no financial incentive based on this).
Nevertheless, with regards to comparability between p2tr
script spend and p2wsh
, there can be an “financial incentive” to make use of p2wsh
over p2tr
.
If beneath following assumptions,
- Tapscript solely comprises “single” script(faucet leaf is single).
- Script itself can’t be divided into a number of leaves(i.e.
OP_IF A OP_ELSE B
will be divided into 2 leaves). - Script requires lower than 5 signatures, as schnorr signature is extra compact(about 6~8 bytes) in comparison with ecdsa DER format in dimension.
- No motivation to spend in
p2tr
key path.
The entire witness gadgets to offer can be similar for p2wsh
and p2tr
if locking script to spend is similar,
besides that p2tr
should present faucet management block of 33 bytes, even when it is just for single script spend.
Nevertheless, I discovered the reply concerning comparability of p2wsh
and p2tr
right here, which states,
So far as I can inform, P2TR is best than P2WSH in nearly each method. I can’t consider a case wherein it will be a big benefit to make use of P2WSH over P2TR, besides that P2WSH is already established.
Am I lacking one thing? or is there different vital profit which may offset this?
