Deep dives

Transaction templating

Transaction templating is a use case enabled by covenants that eliminates the need for pre-signed transactions. Instead of creating pre-signed transactions for off-chain protocols like lightning, participants can use covenant conditions within the existing script to determine spending. This simplifies protocol setup and improves security by removing the need to trust that the other party has deleted their pre-signed transaction.
