Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Segregated Witness |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Move witness data outside the input script. The transaction id that contracts depend on no longer covers the witness. A new weight limit counts witness bytes less than base bytes. |
| Who may write | Eric Lombrozo, Johnson Lau and Pieter Wuille |
| What is settled | The witness is a separate structure. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Segwit is not the Lightning protocol. It is the transaction format Lightning wanted. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the public document. Not a copy of it, and not a claim about a later network that reused the name. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
