Discussion Topics

A technical breakdown of the Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model. The session contrasted Bitcoin's UTXO approach with traditional account-based blockchain models, detailing how transactions are mapped and verified.

  • The UTXO model explained — how Bitcoin tracks ownership without accounts
  • Contrasting UTXOs with account-based models (e.g. Ethereum)
  • Transaction construction: inputs, outputs, change addresses, and fees
  • UTXO management strategies for privacy and cost efficiency
  • Wallet architecture: how wallets select and spend UTXOs
