BlockchainThe UTXO model splits state into independent outputs, allowing transaction verification to proceed in parallel, providing a key data structure foundation for BSV's on-chain scaling and high throughput. This article compares the account model with the UTXO model, explains the principles of parallelism, practical limitations, and its relationship with Teranode and application design.
BlockchainIn BSV’s UTXO model, an address is not an account or a single balance slot. The same address can be associated with multiple UTXOs, and a wallet balance is simply the sum of those outputs. Understanding this is essential for transaction construction, fee handling, UTXO fragmentation, and privacy.
BlockchainIn BSV, spending does not update a balance. It consumes old UTXOs and creates new ones. Understanding this model helps explain payments, change, transaction chains, and the basic logic behind tokens and application state transitions.
BlockchainA UTXO, or “unspent transaction output,” is the basic unit of the BSV transaction model. A wallet balance is not an on-chain account field, but the sum of controllable UTXOs. Understanding UTXOs helps explain BSV inputs, outputs, change, fees, double-spending, Script, and parallel processing.
BlockchainEndian is a common byte-order issue when debugging BSV transactions, especially in raw transactions, TXIDs, outpoints, numeric fields, and Merkle proofs. Understanding the difference between display format and serialized bytes helps avoid false “TXID mismatch” or “proof calculation failed” conclusions.
BlockchainA raw transaction is the original byte representation of a transaction after protocol-compliant serialization, usually shown as a hexadecimal string. It is central to TXID calculation, signing, broadcasting, and debugging, and is a key concept for understanding how BSV transactions work at the protocol level.
BlockchainBSV transaction fees are not stored as a separate field. They are calculated as total inputs minus total outputs. Understanding this rule helps developers handle change correctly, estimate fees, manage UTXOs, and avoid accidentally turning remaining balance into fees.
BlockchainA change output is a key concept in BSV’s UTXO model: old UTXOs must be spent in full, and any unspent amount must be returned to the payer through a new output. This article explains how change works, how it relates to fees, change addresses, privacy, and practical UTXO management.
BlockchainA TXID is the most common transaction identifier in BSV. It can be used to look up transactions, reference outputs, store business records, and build SPV proof flows. But a TXID identifies the whole transaction, not a specific output, and it does not mean the transaction is final. Real applications should store it together with the output index, status, raw transaction, and proof materials.
BlockchainA transaction output is a new unit of value created by a BSV transaction, usually consisting of an amount and a locking script. Outputs can represent payments and change, but they can also carry OP_RETURN data, token state, or business records. Understanding outputs, UTXOs, and output indexes is fundamental to understanding BSV transactions and application protocol design.
BlockchainA transaction input is the funding source of a BSV transaction. It references a specific unspent output from a previous transaction and provides unlocking data. Understanding inputs helps explain the UTXO model, outpoints, double-spend conflicts, fee calculation, and transaction debugging.
BlockchainBRC-100 is an interface standard in the BSV ecosystem that describes how applications and wallets communicate. It emphasizes that applications express business intent while wallets retain control of keys, helping non-custodial applications request transaction creation, signing, and returned results in a safer and more consistent way.
BlockchainA BSV wallet is not a traditional account system. There is no single on-chain balance field; instead, the wallet calculates balances and creates transactions by managing private keys, UTXOs, inputs, outputs, signatures, and related data. This distinction is essential for understanding change, multiple inputs, non-custodial wallets, and application authorization.
