+
+==Abstract==
+
+This document specifies <tt>raw()</tt> and <tt>addr()</tt> output script descriptors.
+<tt>raw()</tt> encapsulates a raw script as a descriptor.
+<tt>addr()</tt> encapsulates an address as a descriptor.
+
+==Copyright==
+
+This BIP is licensed under the BSD 2-clause license.
+
+==Motivation==
+
+In order to make descriptors maximally compatible with scripts in use today, it is useful to be able to wrap any arbitrary output script or an address into a descriptor.
+
+==Specification==
+
+Two new script expressions are defined: <tt>raw()</tt> and <tt>addr()</tt>.
+
+===<tt>raw()</tt>===
+
+The <tt>raw(HEX)</tt> expression can only be used as a top level descriptor.
+As the argument, it takes a hex string representing a Bitcoin script.
+The output script produced by this descriptor is the script represented by <tt>HEX</tt>.
+
+===<tt>addr()</tt>===
+
+The <tt>addr(ADDR)</tt> expression can only be used as a top level descriptor.
+It takes an address as its single argument.
+The output script produced by this descriptor is the output script produced by the address <tt>ADDR</tt>.
+
+==Test Vectors==
+
+Valid descriptors followed by the scripts they produce.

+* <tt>addr</tt> nested in <tt>sh</tt>: <tt>sh(addr(3PUNyaW7M55oKWJ3kDukwk9bsKvryra15j))</tt>
+* <tt>addr</tt> nested in <tt>wsh</tt>: <tt>wsh(addr(3PUNyaW7M55oKWJ3kDukwk9bsKvryra15j))</tt>
+
+==Backwards Compatibility==
+
+<tt>raw()</tt> and <tt>addr()</tt> descriptors use the format and general operation specified in [[bip-0380.mediawiki|380]].
+As this is a wholly new descriptor, it is not compatible with any implementation.
+The reuse of existing Bitcoin addresses allows for this to be more easily implemented.
+
+==Reference Implementation==
+
+<tt>raw()</tt> and <tt>addr()</tt> descriptors have been implemented in Bitcoin Core since version 0.17.
