⚡ UTXO RISK — WHAT WOULD YOU PICK?
@BabylonLabs_io made me look at UTXOs differently.
I used to think a UTXO was mostly just a technical detail sitting underneath a Bitcoin transaction. But in Babylon’s vault design, it can directly affect how much collateral is exposed when something goes wrong.
The uncomfortable part is that a vault is not infinitely divisible. If the position becomes liquidatable, the system cannot simply take the exact percentage needed from one vault.
That creates a strange cliff: a relatively small debt problem can potentially involve a much larger chunk of collateral.
This is why vault sizing becomes more than a convenience choice. Splitting collateral across vaults can give the user more control over what gets exposed first.
For #baby , I find this more interesting than simply asking whether liquidation works.
The real question is:
When collateral cannot be divided during liquidation, should users think about UTXO size as part of their risk management?
