Consolidation
Consolidation combines several UTXOs of the active address into one new UTXO owned by that same address. It reduces future input count and releases occupied slots.
When it is available
The Main page offers Consolidate when the active address has enough spendable outputs for the operation to be useful.
The wallet selects the smallest UTXOs first and can combine up to 64 inputs in one interactive operation. The preview shows:
- selected input count and value;
- one same-owner output;
- network fee;
- number of slots freed;
- resulting active-owner balance.
Proof and submission
Consolidation uses the same wallet authorization system as a payment. The dialog locks and displays the forging animation while the proof is built and the intent is submitted.
Because the number of outputs is smaller than the number of inputs, consolidation has no State-growth burn. It still pays base, input and output fees.
No receipt
The output owner equals the input owner. The wallet records the balance change and UTXO lifecycle but deliberately does not save a payment receipt.
This is based on the exact transaction owner relation. It does not require the node to inspect every address that the master secret might derive.
Choosing a time
Consolidation is optional. It is useful before a future large payment when an address has accumulated many small outputs. The current fee preview is exact for the current State; a change in inputs, epoch or tip may require rebuilding the intent.
