P2WSH

Moderate

Pay-to-Witness-Script-Hash — the native SegWit equivalent of P2SH, where the redeem script and witness data are moved to the segregated witness field. P2WSH addresses start with 'bc1q' and benefit from reduced transaction weight (lower fees) and the elimination of transaction malleability. SSP uses P2WSH for its Bitcoin multisig outputs.
