TABConf is The Atlanta Bitcoin Conference — an event for building communities, providing education, and supporting developers. This is a conference where no one can "buy" a talk. We like to think of this as the most inclusive, organic, grassroots event possible for Bitcoin.
We are planning to have a heavy workshop schedule on day 1 of the conference, November 4th. The next 2 days, November 5th - 6th, will be panels, talks, and village activities. There are still opportunities to run workshops on the 5th - 6th, but this would need to be done with coordination of a village leader.

Socratic Panel: Covenants

Covenants offer “introspection” to transactions, providing novel methods to restrict the future spends of an output. There are several proposals that would allow the use of covenants in Bitcoin, each with different designs and trade-offs. In the wake of the activation of taproot, future soft fork changes are under active consideration with Bitcoin’s use of covenants as a significant point of discussion. What are covenants, and what are their use cases for Bitcoin? What are the current proposals that would allow covenants, and how should Bitcoin users approach an understanding of their tradeoffs? Aside from new use cases, how would covenants improve existing off-chain/scaling protocols?
