Deep dives
CTV and Vault Applications
Check template verify (CTV) allows parameters to be added to how Bitcoin can be spent by adding a script to the output, making the UTXO itself only spendable when certain conditions are met. CTV is seen as safe and can enhance on-chain security. One key application is using CTV for vaults to create automated cold card on-chain solutions, improving on-chain safety by a significant margin.
Inheritance and Smart Contracts with CTV
With CTV, inheritance mechanisms on-chain can be enforced, allowing for predetermined rules on fund distribution after death, like specifying funds for children and grandchildren, ensuring on-chain immutability of transfer of assets. This feature presents new possibilities for smart contracts, enabling secure and automated asset management based on predefined conditions.
