Thank you for your feedback.

The first Nexa hard fork introduced several important protocol enhancements, including **OP\_PARSE** , **OP\_MERKLEROOT** , and **Read-Only Inputs**. Detailed specifications for these features can be found in the official Nexa documentation:

- OP\_PARSE: [OP\_PARSE Script Instruction - Nexa Documentation](https://spec.nexa.org/script/op-codes/op_parse/)
- OP\_MERKLEROOT: [OP\_MERKLEROOT - Nexa Documentation](https://spec.nexa.org/script/op-codes/op_merkleroot/)
- Read-Only Inputs: [Read-only transaction inputs - Nexa Documentation](https://spec.nexa.org/script/read-only-inputs/)

An overview of all features introduced in the hard fork is available in the community announcement:

Nexa smart contracts can also be developed in Kotlin. The dedicated Nexa Kotlin library provides the tools needed to build wallets, web applications, and other software solutions:
