4️⃣ Today’s Quick Lesson: What’s the Difference Between the UTXO Model and the Account Model?
🔸 What is the UTXO Model?
▪ UTXO can be understood as a set of “digital vouchers that have not yet been spent.”
▪ Each time a user makes a transfer, they consume existing UTXOs and create new ones. This is the model used by Bitcoin.
🔸 What is the Account Model?
▪ The account model is more like a traditional bank account—it directly records each account’s current balance and status.
▪ Platforms like Ethereum, which support smart contracts, commonly use this approach because it makes handling complex applications easier.
🔸 The biggest differences
▪ The UTXO model focuses on “which funds have not yet been spent”;
▪ The account model focuses on “how much balance the account currently has and what state it’s in.”
🔸 What are the advantages of each?
▪ The UTXO structure is clear, suitable for parallel processing, and makes it easier to track fund movements.
▪ The account model’s logic is more intuitive and better suited for complex smart contract applications such as DeFi, NFTs, and lending.
