Released on Monday, Bitcoin Core version 22.0 is the 22nd major release of Bitcoin’s (BTC) original software client launched almost 13 years ago.
The team overseen by the lead maintainer Wladimir van der Laan, took roughly eight months to bring the new update that launched on Monday to its fruition.
The new version is the first major Bitcoin Core release that supports the upcoming Taproot protocol upgrade that will be activated in November and is set to fully validate the new Taproot rules.
