UTXO

Since cryptocurrency is, by definition, digital, UTXO's function the same way dollar bills do with fiat currency. If your physical wallet carries banknotes, then your digital wallet carries UTXOs.

The Beam wallet minimizes the output value you receive by automatically selecting the UTXO for each transaction. You will not be able to send or spend your UTXOs until the transaction is complete.
