=== Witness program ===
A scriptPubKey (or redeemScript as defined in BIP16/P2SH) that consists of a 1-byte push opcode (for 0 to 16) followed by a data push between 2 and 32 bytes gets a new special meaning. The value of the first push is called the "version byte". The following byte vector pushed is called the "witness program".

Blocks are currently limited to 1,000,000 bytes (1MB) total size. We change this restriction as follows:
-''Block cost'' is defined. The cost of each byte in the existing header and transactions is 4, while the cost of each byte in witness data is 1.
+''Block cost'' is defined as ''Base size'' * 3 + ''Total size''.
+
+''Base size'' is the block size in bytes with the original transaction serialization without any witness-related data, as seen by a non-upgraded node.
-The new rule is total ''block cost'' ≤ 4,000,000.

The scriptPubKey occupies 34 bytes, as opposed to 23 bytes of BIP16 P2SH.
