The Litecoin team has deployed a new version of the Litecoin Core 0.21.2 client on the testnet. The release includes Mimblewimble Extension Block (MWEB) and Taproot updates.
“We have been working very hard to fix all the bugs before the final release. Thanks to everyone who helps us test MWEB on the testnet!” Litecoin creator Charlie Lee said.
Mimblewimble is a protocol with high scalability and increased privacy. It uses several technologies, including confidential transactions and CoinJoin, which hides the inputs and outputs of senders and receivers, and combines many transactions into one.

On the Bitcoin network, the Taproot update was activated in November 2021. This was the biggest upgrade since 2017.
