This significantly reduces transaction costs per user and greatly enhances scalability.<br/><br/>The protocol mirrors Bitcoin’s familiar UTXO structure using Virtual Transaction Outputs (VTXOs). These offchain abstractions preserve a familiar output ownership model while embedding many claims into a single Batch Output. VTXOs ensure that users retain unilateral control over their funds and enable efficient offchain coordination before final settlement on Bitcoin.<br/><br/>Link for details! <br/><br/>👾<br/><br/> 2025-04-23T06:33:53Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9y6ywssxs9l65jl8wzdxnc7dz70tvaw7yzr5k5605wte2fs7gw5gzyrfx7789j4q30dwx2w9z6myg5g5kcewq8pms8xwhq6df0qnwkp4f27kwmal Ark is sufficient as a scaling solution for the foreseeable future.<br/><br/>We have a lot to learn from the implications it will have on self custodial applications and the entire Lightning ecosystem.<br/><br/>If you&#39;re interested in additional opcodes to Bitcoin for security concerns then that&#39;s a different conversation but we have plenty of time to put together a compelling vision that can put consensus in motion. 2025-02-08T10:13:34Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8l9f543sqje8ct59pjjwl82rs29e0w9npy4skgzfsc4gah8zh0hgzyrfx7789j4q30dwx2w9z6myg5g5kcewq8pms8xwhq6df0qnwkp4f2c0dnda In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsftdwa3kcyku9mcwe5td7zwja9rwt03ljs8k6vfd8j6qjxp5ar72gpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmq2nr42l'>nevent1q…r42l</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>How do you agree on the security target? <br/><br/>How is this any different than agreeing on the “right” inflation rate? 2025-02-02T01:28:47Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2964t62fqjtw7czc3dj4w8hh0ys6whnkumwf0yxtpjsecze5jkuqzyrfx7789j4q30dwx2w9z6myg5g5kcewq8pms8xwhq6df0qnwkp4f29tytms In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsydjjjfdecs7vnszgpz0leh9002nee9tyqs3cvj08hwjald0jqmkspramhxue69uhkummnw3ezuetfde6kuer6wasku7nfvuh8xurpvdjshc3wnt'>nevent1q…3wnt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hey!
