CKB's dual script reference model = flexibility โšก๏ธ But the catch? The same Script can produce different addresses depending on whether it's referenced by data hash or type hash. ๐Ÿคฏ From a UX designer's perspective, the challenge is building wallets that make users feel empowered, not overwhelmed. Because trust isn't built on code aloneโ€”it's built through experience. Read how: image
