<p>So here's transaction in question: <a href="https://mempool.space/tx/04c2ad1e2ac3651e0cda0d2a3cc4b43434ad45de8330a526ab87aabb67587cc6" rel="nofollow noreferrer">04c2ad1e2ac3651e0cda0d2a3cc4b43434ad45de8330a526ab87aabb67587cc6</a></p>
<p>It's taproot script is:</p>
<pre><code>OP_PUSHBYTES_32 d4f633eb22227fb319cf064b9f9870123db325999f15ffd2f2c01d653a1a3847
OP_CHECKSIGVERIFY
OP_PUSHBYTES_3 25da0b
OP_CLTV
</code></pre>
<p><code>25da0b</code> equals to 2480651, and it was included in a block with a height 779883.</p>
<p>How did it happen?</p>

<taproot><checklocktimeverify><endianness>
How this transaction was included in the block if CLTV is much larger than a current block height?

So here's transaction in question: [04c2ad1e2ac3651e0cda0d2a3cc4b43434ad45de8330a526ab87aabb67587cc6](https://mempool.space/tx/04c2ad1e2ac3651e0cda0d2a3cc4b43434ad45de8330a526ab87aabb67587cc6)

It's taproot script is:

```
OP_PUSHBYTES_32 d4f633eb22227fb319cf064b9f9870123db325999f15ffd2f2c01d653a1a3847
OP_CHECKSIGVERIFY
OP_PUSHBYTES_3 25da0b
OP_CLTV

```

`25da0b` equals to 2480651, and it was included in a block with a height 779883.

How did it happen?

`25da0b` is 776741 in decimal number, as bitcoin script number is a little endian order. [BIP62](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0062.mediawiki#numbers) describes details about script number encoding. It's sign-magnitude with little endian.
