Gm , please help , I am in a loop.
If SegWit didn’t remove any data and signatures are still stored in the block, how does Bitcoin fit more transactions per block? Before SegWit, every byte was counted equally, but after SegWit, witness data (signatures) is counted at 1 WU per byte instead of 4 WU per byte. The block limit changed from 1 MB to 4,000,000 WU, allowing more transactions to fit. How did Bitcoin create more space?
Thank you
