Developer View

UTXO Bundling can be integrated into:

• Smart contract frameworks: Transfer control of locked assets without triggering on-chain movement. Asset issuance protocols: Move control over fungible or non-fungible tokens in bulk.

• DEXs and AMMs: Reassign asset control in trades without triggering base-layer congestion. Vaults and Rollups: Securely manage off-chain control without compromising auditability.

Thunderbolt's support for this delegation mechanism forms the foundation for faster Bitcoin without bridging or sidechains. Whether it’s buying a coffee or clearing international settlements, Bundling makes Bitcoin feel like modern payments: fast, cheap, and simple.

Real-World Use Case

Example: Global Merchant Payments

A merchant platform receives 1,000 BTC micropayments daily.

Without UTXO Bundling:

• Each payment requires an on-chain record.

• Consolidation costs spike.

• Fees skyrocket.

With UTXO Bundling:

• Payments are recorded as tweaks, off-chain.

• Final settlement can happen once per day.

• Costs drop dramatically, with instant transfer finality.

Whether it’s buying a coffee or clearing international settlements, bundling makes Bitcoin feel like modern payments: fast, cheap, and simple.
