The Bitcoin network saw its last major upgrade in 2017, with the arrival of Segregated Witness (SegWit). Almost four years later, network participants await Taproot, the next important update designed to expand Bitcoin’s smart contract flexibility and to improve its privacy and efficiency.
According to taproot.watch, the signaling ratio for Taproot is currently at over 64%, after three more large mining pools began producing blocks with the so-called “signal bit” included. The latest to support the upgrade were Binance Pool, 1Thash.top, and BTC.Top.

Binance also announced that “based on community feedback,” its mining pool, which is responsible for 7.9% of the network’s total hash rate, is now signaling for Taproot, with the full support expected by Friday.
Based on community feedback, #Binance Pool has begun signaling for Taproot.
It is estimated that #Binance Pool will fully support Taproot before Friday this week. https://t.co/eukp3FlEA
