Can the hash of UTXO set be a part of the bitcoin block header and consensus guidelines and wherein circumstances?


This query would not have a lot logic from the “actuality” perspective, it is extra theoretical about whether or not or not some UTXO set could be a part of the consensus guidelines and wherein circumstances.

I do know that the consensus rule can solely be one thing that every one nodes see the identical approach. In different phrases, in any respect time limits all nodes should come to the identical conclusion about some chain (whether or not its legitimate or invalid).

I ponder if the hash of the UTXO set might be a part of the header and consensus rule? I’ve two questions:

  1. May the consensus rule be {that a} new hash from the header block have to be equal to the hash of strictly our present UTXO set?
  2. May the consensus rule be {that a} new hash from the header block have to be equal to the hash of SOME set of UTXOs (doesn’t have to be strictly our UTXO set)? By SOME I imply actually some set of UTXOs that we might get inside a block (like we get transactions) or not even inside a block however then we must discover it ourselves, however once more the principles is that it DOESN’T HAVE TO BE the identical as our present UTXO set .
