2. **SegWit and Bitcoin Core**:
- **SegWit Implementation**: SegWit was a soft fork implemented to improve Bitcoin's scalability and security by separating digital signatures from transaction data, without changing the fundamental structures of the Bitcoin protocol[2][3].
- **Decentralization**: Bitcoin Core is designed to maintain Bitcoin's decentralization by ensuring that each user's node follows identical rules to validate blocks, preventing manipulation by powerful miners[2][4].
