The number of LTC addresses is skyrocketing!
Open Source Litecoin is fully decentralized in the fact any one person could submit code into the network and as long as a majority of miners agree to that fork it will be implimented. This is similar to bitcoin.

Litecoin MWEB transaction serialization and weight calculation issue
However, this serialization format seems to contradict with BIP 0144, which states: "if the witness is empty, the old serialization format must be used." also contradict the comments in the litecoin source code at https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/master/src/primitives/transaction.h

Mimblewimble Progress Update Thread - November
In order to add MWEB support to PSBTs, I first had to merge in PSBTv2 (BIP-0370), which can be seen here. I then defined the MWEB fields we needed to add, and added them to the PSBT data structures along with serialization and deserialization here.

Generating and Working With ScriptPubKeys in Bitcoin Transactions
As mentioned previously, ScriptPubKeys are scripts that embody the locking conditions of bitcoins in a Bitcoin transaction. They are a crucial element of a Bitcoin transaction that specifies the requirements that must be met before an unspent transaction output (UTXO) is used. The ScriptPubKey, combined with the Amount, creates an output of a Bitcoin transaction. Like every other script, ScriptPubKeys are made up of operators and data. During the encoding of a transaction, both data and the operands are represented in hexadecimal format. You can find the hex representation for all operands used in Bitcoin Scripts here.
