you get the utxo from from the snapshot.
you dont verify anything to that point.
you trust pow. that's almsot exactly like spv behavior.
if a bitcoin node sees an invalid tx they blacklist that block hash because the whole block is invalid.
you can't build on invalid tx. is that so hard to understand?
you can't just download a utxo set and call it verified just because it was timestamped in the DAG/chain.
you dont even know if the chain you are on is valid.
you just pick what ever has the most pow.
because you can't verify a tx from one week ago.
you trust the utxoset your are given.
be honest with yourself.
you are claiming things that are not real. be real.
