Utreexo

A cryptographic accumulator design that lets nodes verify the UTXO set with compact proofs and far less local state.

Utreexo is a dynamic cryptographic accumulator design that lets validators commit to the UTXO set with a small root while transaction holders provide membership proofs.

It changes where UTXO-state data and proof maintenance live, not Bitcoin's monetary rules. [Utreexo paper] [Utreexo documentation]

Proofs must be updated as outputs are created and spent. [Utreexo paper] [utreexod implementation]

Deployment requires ecosystem and protocol support; it is not the default Bitcoin Core validation model. [Utreexo documentation] [utreexod implementation]
