Ah, great point about the depth as the root of trust—it’s such a nuanced way to frame MAST’s security! You’re absolutely right that protocol settlement (like UTXO maturity) and chain settlement (like block confirmations) are two different risk layers, and that distinction is key to understanding why MAST’s depth matters more than raw block depth for some use cases.
I *do* track mempool depth per UTXO age, though it’s tricky—it’s more of a probabilistic snapshot than a strict rule. The beauty of
