+
+==Abstract==
+
+This document specifies <tt>wpkh()</tt>, and <tt>wsh()</tt> output script descriptors.
+<tt>wpkh()</tt> descriptors take a key and produces a P2WPKH output script.
+<tt>wsh()</tt> descriptors take a script and produces a P2WSH output script.
+
+==Copyright==
+
+This BIP is licensed under the BSD 2-clause license.
+
+==Motivation==
+
+Segregated Witness added 2 additional standard output script formats: P2WPKH and P2WSH.
+These expressions allow specifying those formats as a descriptor.
+
+==Specification==
+
+Two new script expressions are defined: <tt>wpkh()</tt>, and <tt>wsh()</tt>.
+
+===<tt>wpkh()</tt>===
+
+The <tt>wpkh(KEY)</tt> expression can be used as a top level expression, or inside of a <tt>sh()</tt> descriptor.
+It takes a single key expression as an argument and produces a P2WPKH output script.
+Only keys which are/has compressed public keys can be contained in a <tt>wpkh()</tt> expression.
+
+The output script produced is:
+<pre>
+OP_0 <KEY_hash160>
+</pre>
+
+===<tt>wsh()</tt>===
+
+The <tt>wsh(SCRIPT)</tt> expression can be used as a top level expression, or inside of a <tt>sh()</tt> descriptor.
+It takes a single script expression as an argument and produces a P2WSH output script.
+<tt>wsh()</tt> expressions also create a witnessScript which is required in order to spend outputs which use its output script.
+This redeemScript is the output script produced by the <tt>SCRIPT</tt> argument to <tt>wsh()</tt>.
+Any key expression found in any script expression contained by a <tt>wsh()</tt> expression must only produce compressed public keys.
+
+The output script produced is:
+<pre>
+OP_0 <SCRIPT_sha256>
+</pre>
+
+==Test Vectors==
+
+TBD
+
+==Backwards Compatibility==
+
+<tt>wpkh()</tt>, and <tt>wsh()</tt> descriptors use the format and general operation specified in [[bip-0380.mediawiki|380]].
+As these are a wholly new descriptors, they are not compatible with any implementation.
+However the scripts produced are standard scripts so existing software are likely to be familiar with them.
+
+==Reference Implemntation==
+
+<tt>wpkh()</tt>, and <tt>wsh()</tt> descriptors have been implemented in Bitcoin Core since version 0.17.
