UTXO Scheduler

A scheduler of transactions for networks premised on the UTXO model.

Design

The scheduler is designed to achieve fulfillment of all expected payments with an O(1) delay (regardless of prior scheduler state), O(log n) time, and O(log(n) + n) computational complexity.

For the time/computational complexity, we use a tree to fulfill payments. This quickly gives us the ability to make as many outputs as necessary (regardless of per-transaction output limits) and only has the latency of including a chain of O(log n) transactions on-chain. The only computational overhead is in creating the transactions which are branches in the tree. Since we split off the root of the tree from a master output, the delay to start fulfillment is the delay for the master output to re-appear on-chain.
