I endorse “CHIP-2024-12 P2S: Pay to Script (c144f03f)” for 2026 lock-in.
The P2S CHIP relaxes some transaction standardness rules to align them with consensus. The VM Limits make sure that contracts still stay within compute bounds. It also increases the token commitment length somewhat. The CHIP has the effect of simplifying transaction validation and allowing larger contracts to be more conveniently expressed.
I endorse “CHIP-2025-05 Bitwise: Re-Enable Bitwise Operations (a432a19b)” for
2026 lock-in.
Adding the bitwise operations can be seen as an optimization of commonly occurring use cases. Such general optimization is a good idea as it can help reduce the need for tailor-made opcodes with more narrow use cases.
I haven’t yet implemented this CHIP in albaVm/albaDsl but plan to do so next and will come back if I have additional comments.
