BIP326: Implementing Anti-Fee-Sniping and Privacy for Taproot Transactions

MC: Abiodun

Gave a technical deep-dive into BIP326 — a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal that closes the on-chain privacy gap for Taproot transactions by normalizing nSequence to make Lightning channel closures indistinguishable from regular wallet payments.

Breaking down the full specification, from the privacy gap, MAST and unused script paths, HTLCs vs PTLCs, fee sniping and how nLockTime and nSequence defend against it, absolute vs relative locktimes, and a production Rust implementation using the bdk_tx crate.

Relevant resources: Check out the codebase to see usage example of bdk-tx
