However, Bitcoin's limited on-chain storage and functionality pose significant challenges. Among the various approaches to token issuance on Bitcoin, client-side validation (CSV) has emerged as a prominent solution. CSV delegates data storage and functionalities beyond Bitcoin's native capabilities to off-chain clients, while leveraging the blockchain to validate tokens and prevent double-spending. Nevertheless, these protocols require participants to maintain token ownership and transactional data, rendering them **vulnerable to data loss and malicious data withholding**. In this paper, we propose **UTxO binding**, a novel framework that achieves both robust data availability and enhanced functionality compared to existing CSV designs. This approach securely binds a Bitcoin UTxO, which prevents double-spending, to a UTxO on an **auxiliary blockchain**, providing data storage and programmability. We formally prove its security and implement our design using **Nervos CKB** as the auxiliary blockchain. ## Relevanz für Shielded CSV Dieses Paper adressiert eines der **grössten offenen Probleme** von CSV-Protokollen: Data Availability. Da bei Shielded CSV die gesamte TX-Historie und Coin-Proofs off-chain beim User liegen, sind CSV-Systeme anfällig für Datenverlust. Der UTxO-Binding-Ansatz schlägt eine Lösung über eine Hilfs-Blockchain vor. > [!warning] Kernproblem > "CSV protocols require participants to maintain token ownership and transactional data, rendering them vulnerable to data loss and malicious data withholding." ## BibTeX ``` @misc{cryptoeprint:2025/569, author = {Yunwen Liu and Bo Wang and Ren Zhang}, title = {Solving Data Availability Limitations in CSV with {UTxO} Binding}, howpublished = {Cryptology {ePrint} Archive, Paper 2025/569}, year = {2025}, url = {https://eprint.iacr.org/2025/569} } ```
