Taproot upgrade for Liquid swaps: reference implementation and open questions

Two spec proposals for upgrading Liquid swaps to Taproot (peerswap-spec #7 and #12) have been open since 2022 with no resolution, and the current protocol (v5) still uses P2WSH for the opening transaction. I wanted to resurface this with some concrete implementation experience.

I've built a non-custodial escrow on Liquid using the same three-path structure — preimage claim, CSV recovery, and cooperative exit — as Taproot with Tapscript leaves: https://github.com/Antisys/ark-escrow. It's tested on regtest/testnet, not mainnet. A few observations that may be useful for a PeerSwap Taproot upgrade:

Script structure: The claim_by_invoice, claim_by_csv, and claim_by_coop paths map cleanly to Tapscript leaves with a MuSig2 keypath for cooperative exit. The keypath spend is indistinguishable on-chain from any other Taproot output — a meaningful privacy improvement over the current P2WSH which reveals the full script on spend.

On the flexible amount proposal (peerswap-spec #7): The OP_INSPECT* opcodes defined in Elements tapscript would allow enforcing the change output constraints directly in script, without requiring pre-signed transactions for each possible swap amount.

On the current coop_close design (peerswap-spec #4): A Taproot upgrade would also naturally resolve the private key sharing issue. With a MuSig2 keypath cooperative spend, both parties sign during contract setup rather than one party transmitting their raw privkey to the counterparty at close time.

Is there active interest in moving any of this forward? Happy to contribute toward a spec or implementation.
