Reducing UTXO Count #31

Closed kasima closed 5 years ago

kasima commented 6 years ago

The more UTXOs on child chain means more time is needed for a mass exit if something goes wrong on the child chain. This is especially true during root chain congestion (#22).

Some research around incentives to reduce the number UTXOs would make things less vulnerable.

Some ideas so far:

rent
reduced fees for transactions that eliminate utxos

A basic version of UTXO management has been implemented in https://github.com/omisego/elixir-omg/pull/499
