Hi Calvin, Tadge, Davidson,

Thanks for sharing this important work ...it's exciting to see Utreexo maturing into a full BIP proposal. The modular split into accumulator, validation, and P2P layers is very clean and helpful for review.

After a quick conceptual and implementation-level analysis, I believe there's a critical detail missing from the current accumulator spec: a deterministic order for processing UTXO deletions and additions per block.

Aside from that, the spec is well written and shows deep consideration.

Best regards,

Hello all,

Tadge Dryja, Davidson Souza, and I would like to propose 3 BIPs describing Utreexo, a consensus-compatible (non-soft fork) way to send and verify transactions without storing the full UTXO set.

The 3 BIPs are for:

1. The specification of the Utreexo accumulator.
2. The specification of Bitcoin block and tx validation using the Utreexo accumulator.
3. The peer to peer networking changes required to enable Utreexo nodes.

We are currently looking for conceptual review. Do note that the documents are not final, and they will be updated.

All of the BIPs can be found here: https://github.com/utreexo/biptreexo

We thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Best,
Calvin
