Blockstream Partners on XDEX
XDEX Finance is a decentralized security token exchange and peer-to-peer marketplace built on the open-source TDEX protocol and the Liquid Network. As a foundational partner with Sevenlabs, Equitas Foundation, and Poseidon, we regard XDEX as the next stage in the reformation and disintermediation of capital markets, which Bitcoin has driven.

Tapscript: New Opcodes, Reduced Limits, and Covenants

The previous two posts talked about Taproot itself and Partially Signed Elements Transactions (PSET). In this post, he describes the new opcodes introduced to Elements Script, what they can be used for, and what they are doing with them.
