📋 OP_CAT Implementation Patterns
- String Concatenation - Basic stack element joining
- Hash Construction - Complex hash input building
- Data Serialization - Structured data encoding
- Circuit Building - Advanced logical circuits
🔗 IPFS-Bitcoin Integration Approaches
- Embedded Hashes - Direct OP_RETURN embedding
- Script Operations - On-chain verification
- OP_CAT Enhanced - Dynamic addressing (0.9 compatibility)
- Hybrid Approach - Mixed on/off-chain (0.8 compatibility)
