Ethereum: UTXO selection methods have been changed after Segwit activation?
From a mining -based consensus system, the transition to the Tét Director (POS) system, called Segwit Activation to Ethereum 2.0, has led to significant changes in the processing transactions and fees on the network. One of the aspects that attracted attention is the effect on the UTXO selection methods (unpaid transaction output).
For those who do not know, UTXO represents unpaid transactions results that the user can spend or use in additional transactions. The choice of which can significantly affect the transaction fees and the costs associated with the UTXO priority transaction.

Before activating SEGWIT, transactions have been punished if they have more inputs (such as a transaction fee) than results (such as unpaid transaction results). The reason for this is the two types of transaction type. Despite the decline in the global UTXO determined during this period, an increase in entrance fees disproportionately affects the overall structure of fees.
Segwit and UTXO Selection
The introduction of Segwit was intended to deal with some restrictions on the previous consensus mechanism. One of the key changes was the addition of a new “more insidious work” made it possible to process the fascinating and effective transactions. This change also included changes to the UTXO selection method.
During Segwit transactions are now selected based on a combination of factors, including:
1
- Transaction fees
: The total amount of transaction transaction fees.
- Select Miner : The order in which the miners choose transactions will affect the common network fees.
Effect on UTXO selection methods
The introduction of Segwit has really changed from the choice of UTXO, and this change is still being refined with the development of the network. According to various sources, including Ethereum developer, Vitalik Butterin, the new selection method is a priority in some cases, which can lead to increased transaction fees.
However, it is essential to note that not all UTXO sets are equally affected. Some users still have more results than inputs because of various factors, such as:
* The complexity of the transaction : transactions with multiple inputs or complex logic may require more computing results and resources than miners.
* Network congestion : Increased network activity can lead to a reduction in available UTXO for some users.
Conclusion
Activation of Segwit has introduced new complexities in the UTXO selection method, which is still being refined when the network adapts. Although this change may be more overwhelmed by some users than others, it is clear that the transition to Ethereum POS will lead to changes in transaction fees and the common network cost structures.
As Ethereum Ecosystem develops further, it is essential for users, miners and developers to understand these developments and how to influence UTXO selection methods.
