This, however, reduces the node to SPV security of the past history.
Particularly for a wallet client— as opposed to a miner or what have
you— if you are willing to accept SPV security you could simply be an

(I like committed UTXO trees, and I believe I was the first person to
suggest them— but I think it's good to not over-hype what they do!)
