Taproot update: More than 90% of blocks are signaling for Taproot
The activation of Taproot for Bitcoin looks imminent and will most likely happen in ~11 days with the next difficulty adjustment, as more than 90% of blocks have been signaling for Taproot over the past week.
More miners and mining pools are now signaling for Taproot, and the number has increased gradually over the past month.
This is good news, as 90% of all blocks within a 2016 block period (the period between bitcoin’s difficulty adjustments) must signal for Taproot in order for the soft fork to take place.
