We’ve been working very hard to fix all the bugs before final release. Thanks to everyone helping us test out MWEB on testnet! We are very close now. Please help test out Release Candidate 5. Thanks! 🙏

We’ve been fixing bugs _almost_ as fast as they’re reported. We’re already up to release candidate 5, and I think we’re finally nearing the end. Help us find those last few stubborn defects, so we can start focusing on activation, and then maybe I can finally get some sleep 🙂 https://t.co/K3fAl0UIzS

On the bitcoin network, the Taproot update was activated in November 2021. This is the biggest upgrade since 2017.
What are Schnorr Signatures? What is Taproot?
Recall, in 2020 Litecoin developers to integrate the Mimblewimble protocol created a special test network.
