UTXO commitments would enable a very secure client using a finite amount of storage using a data structure that is authenticated in the block chain. These type of proposals are, however, in very early stages, and will require soft forks in the network. Until these types of operating modes are implemented, modes should be chosen based on the likely threat model, computing and bandwidth constraints, and liability in bitcoin value. -**Resources:** [Original Thread on UOT](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88208.0), [UOT Prefix Tree BIP Proposal](https://github.com/maaku/bips/blob/master/drafts/auth-trie.mediawiki) +**Resources:** [Original Thread on UTXO Commitments](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88208.0), [Authenticated Prefix Trees BIP Proposal](https://github.com/maaku/bips/blob/master/drafts/auth-trie.mediawiki) {% endautocrossref %}
