docs: correct Taproot activation threshold from 90% to 75% in documentation
Update documentation to reflect actual BIP9 deployment parameters: - Activation threshold: 540/720 blocks (75%) vs incorrectly documented 90% - Confirmation window: 720 blocks (Palladium custom) vs Bitcoin's 2016 - Add explanatory notes about Palladium's lower threshold for faster coordination

Taproot activates via BIP9 signaling:
|
||||
1. Miners signal readiness by setting bit 2 in block version
|
||||
2. When 1815 of 2016 blocks in a retarget period signal (90% threshold), deployment is LOCKED_IN
|
||||
2. When 540 of 720 blocks in a confirmation window signal (75% threshold), deployment is LOCKED_IN
|
||||
3. After LOCKED_IN period ends, deployment becomes ACTIVE for all subsequent blocks
|
||||
4. Timeout on March 1, 2027 if insufficient signaling
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Palladium uses a 75% activation threshold (540/720 blocks) compared to Bitcoin's 90% (1815/2016 blocks), with a shorter confirmation window to facilitate faster network coordination while maintaining security.

Taproot activates via miner signaling (BIP9):
|
||||
- **Signaling period**: February 14, 2026 - March 1, 2027
|
||||
- **Activation threshold**: 90% of blocks in a 2016-block period (1815 blocks)
|
||||
- **Activation threshold**: 75% of blocks in a 720-block period (540 blocks)
|
||||
- **Activation method**: BIP9 soft fork using bit 2
|
||||
|
||||
**What this means**:
|
||||
- Once 90% of miners signal readiness, Taproot will "lock in"
|
||||
- Once 75% of miners signal readiness, Taproot will "lock in"
|
||||
- After lock-in, there's a grace period before activation
|
||||
- Once activated, everyone must follow Taproot consensus rules
