Miniscript

Miniscript is a simplified scripting language designed to make Bitcoin smart contracts more understandable and manageable. It lets developers build complex spending policies in a modular way, making both the creation and analysis of scripts much more straightforward.

With Miniscript, you can:

• Easily combine different spending conditions within a single script, helping to optimize for lower transaction fees.
• Nest scripts inside each other, for example, placing a multisig requirement within another multisig script.
• Clearly see and understand the criteria required to spend an output.
• Estimate transaction fees more accurately by analyzing a script’s structure.

Adoption of Miniscript by developers is still in early stages, as exploration and development continue. Miniscript is compatible with several Bitcoin script types, including P2SH, P2WSH, and Tapscript.
