Input and Output
Short answer: In UTXO blockchains, inputs spend prior outputs while new outputs define recipients and change. Learn why transactions need multiple inputs on SynX.
Definition
In UTXO-based blockchains, inputs reference previous transaction outputs being spent, while outputs define new recipients and amounts. Transactions consume inputs and create outputsโthe difference between input and output sums becomes the transaction fee.
Technical Explanation
Each input contains: previous transaction ID, output index, and proof of authorization (signature). Each output contains: amount and spending conditions (recipient's public key hash). Outputs are either spent (referenced as inputs) or unspent (UTXOs available for future spending).
Transactions must satisfy: total inputs โฅ total outputs, valid authorization for each input, and correct structure. The UTXO model provides parallelizable validation, simpler double-spend prevention, and natural privacy (no account balances visible).
SynX Relevance
SynX uses a UTXO model with privacy enhancements. Ordinary sends are transparent by default: the explorer shows amount, sender and recipient. Optional private sends, built on post-quantum primitives, are Kyber-768-encrypted and routed through a fresh burner address.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do transactions have multiple inputs?
- Combining UTXOs when their total exceeds the payment amount. Like using multiple bills to pay.
- What's change output?
- When inputs exceed the payment, the difference returns to you as a new output.
- Can I see input/output amounts in SynX?
- Yes. Ordinary sends are transparent by default, so the explorer shows their amounts; only optional private sends hide them.
