I don't think there's a new limit related to tapscript? In the very
beginning there was no limit, but a 5k limit was put into place, then 520

OP_CAT was available in early versions of Bitcoin. It was disabled as<br>
it allowed the construction of a script whose evaluation could create<br>
stack elements exponential in the size of the script. This is no<br>
longer an issue in the current age as tapscript enforces a maximum<br>
stack element size of 520 Bytes.<br>

Thanks,<br>

=3D=3DAbstract=3D=3D<br>
<br>
This BIP defines OP_CAT a new tapscript opcode which allows the<br>
concatenation of two values on the stack. This opcode would be<br>
activated via a soft fork by redefining the opcode OP_SUCCESS80.<br>
<br>
When evaluated the OP_CAT instruction:<br>
# Pops the top two values off the stack,<br>
# concatenate the popped values together,<br>
# and then pushes the concatenated value on the top of the stack.<br>
<br>
OP_CAT fails if there are less than two values on the stack or if a<br>
concatenated value would have a combined size of greater than the<br>
maximum script element size of 520 Bytes.<br>

Bitcoin tapscript lacks a general purpose way of combining objects on<br>
the stack restricting the expressiveness and power of tapscript. For<br>
instance this prevents among many other things the ability to<br>
construct and evaluate merkle trees and other hashed data structures<br>
in tapscript. OP_CAT by adding a general purpose way to concatenate<br>
stack values would overcome this limitation and greatly increase the<br>
functionality of tapscript.<br>
<br>
OP_CAT aims to expand the toolbox of the tapscript developer with a<br>
simple, modular and useful opcode in the spirit of Unix[1]. To<br>
demonstrate the usefulness of OP_CAT below we provide a non-exhaustive<br>
list of some usecases that OP_CAT would enable:<br>
<br>
* Tree Signatures provide a multisignature script whose size can be<br>
logarithmic in the number of public keys and can encode spend<br>
conditions beyond n-of-m. For instance a transaction less than 1KB in<br>
size could support tree signatures with a thousand public keys. This<br>
also enables generalized logical spend conditions. [2]<br>
* Post-Quantum Lamport Signatures in Bitcoin transactions. Lamport<br>
signatures merely requires the ability to hash and concatenate values<br>
on the stack. [3]<br>
* Non-equivocation contracts [4] in tapscript provide a mechanism to<br>
punish equivocation/double spending in Bitcoin payment channels.<br>
OP_CAT enables this by enforcing rules on the spending transaction's<br=
>
nonce. The capability is a useful building block for payment channels<br>
and other Bitcoin protocols.<br>
* Vaults [5] which are a specialized covenant that allows a user to<br>
block a malicious party who has compromised the user's secret key from<=
br>
stealing the funds in that output. As shown in <ref>A. Poelstra, &quo=
t;CAT<br>
and Schnorr Tricks II", 2021,<br>

OP_CAT is sufficent to build vaults in Bitcoin.<br>

</ref> which would allow the creation of simple covenants and other<b=
r>
advanced contracts without having to presign spending transactions,<br>
possibly reducing complexity and the amount of data that needs to be<br>
stored. Originally shown to work with Schnorr signatures, this result<br>
has been extended to ECDSA signatures. [6]<br>
<br>
The opcode OP_CAT was available in early versions of Bitcoin. However<br>
OP_CAT was removed because it enabled the construction of a script for<br>
which an evaluation could have memory usage exponential in the size of<br>
the script.<br>
For instance a script which pushed an 1 Byte value on the stack then<br>
repeated the opcodes OP_DUP, OP_CAT 40 times would result in a stack<br>
value whose size was greater than 1 Terabyte. This is no longer an<br>
issue because tapscript enforces a maximum stack element size of 520<br>
Bytes.<br>
