# Off-Chain Proof

We know that the Taproot Assets protocol will commit the root hash of the Merkle tree to the BTC chain, but the content of the Merkle tree is stored in Tapd's database off-chain. This indicates that in order to achieve decentralization of Taproot Assets protocol, in addition to the private keys corresponding to the assets, users also need these off-chain proof data.&#x20;

BitTap wallet currently does not provide support for it. Our current solution is to address the issue of user private keys. In the future product upgrade, we will provide users with proof data downloads and imports for certain Taproot Assets, achieving true decentralization of Taproot Assets protocol.
