In 2025, proposals are emerging that modernize how we use Bitcoin for payments, and some could revolutionize the user experience in stores, apps, and platforms:

💡 Proposal BIP-321: Bitcoin with a modern style

Developer Matt Corallo presented Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 321 (BIP-321), which aims to standardize payments through URI links that are compatible with browsers and QR codes. What's the idea? That any wallet can interpret payment instructions without relying on private solutions like AQUA.

Key advantages:

• 🔗 Universal payment links

• 📱 Direct QR scanning from any wallet

• 🧩 Compatibility with modern addresses (bech32, bech32m).
