A two-round Schnorr multisignature protocol that aggregates several public keys and signatures into one.
MuSig2 is best understood as part of a system rather than as an isolated definition. Its related coordinates show the mechanisms, incentives and historical records that give the term practical meaning.
MuSig2 should be evaluated against a concrete threat model: what is protected, from whom, for how long and at what operational cost. A design may remove one dependency while introducing another, so custody, privacy and verification must be judged as a complete system.
Understanding MuSig2 helps distinguish a verifiable Bitcoin mechanism or historical record from slogans, products and market narratives.
For the clearest picture, read this entry together with Schnorr signature, Multisignature, Taproot. The reverse links also lead from Schnorr signature, Andrew Poelstra.
