Lightning Labs details how Wavelength VTXOs carry Taproot Assets

  • —VTXOs anchor an asset's off-chain history to an on-chain commitment via compact proofs
  • —Early caps are 300,000 sats per account and 50,000 sats per VTXO
  • —Lightning payments routed through the service carry a 0.25% fee
  • —Users can exit cooperatively or unilaterally via CSV timelocks
Why it matters: If stablecoins ship on Bitcoin rails without giving up custody, it could widen the network's use beyond BTC itself.
