Hyperledger Global Forum 2021

Let's take a look at UTXO and Account models, what they are, how they work, and how we're leveraging UTXOs with the smart contract language Daml to provide reliable, resilient, and cost-effective distributed applications. The first half of the talk will be a high level walkthrough of the UTXO and account-based models where anyone with an interest in blockchain-based applications can follow along. After that we'll dive into some more of the technical considerations and how crucial of a design choice these two options are. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of design considerations, why you might want to use UTXOs, and how to choose between the two.
