pre-synced means already in mempool and verified? Then it sounds like we just need some mempool optimisation?

I believe it’s always nice to challenge the established model. However, as I’m trying to make some hardfork design, I intend to have a stricter UTXO growth limit. As you said "protocol addressing the UTXO growth, might not be worth considering protocol improvements*, it sounds like UTXO growth limit wouldn’t be very helpful for your model, which I doubt. _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
