Hello Yanmaani,

Incentives for UTXO consolidation already exists IMO.

1.If UTXO consolidation is done when fee rates are low (less congestion in =
mempool), it helps in saving money in lot of cases. Example:=C2=A0https://b=
itcoin.stackexchange.com/a/100811/
2.If running full node for Bitcoin, it will help in a smaller UTXO set.

In few cases it affects privacy though like post coinjoin.

TBH I couldn't understand everything you mentioned including the part in wh=
ich fees decrease is mentioned because of smaller block. Fees should increa=
se if such blocks are regularly mined and are predictable IMO. Not sure if =
everyone will agree to the other things mentioned in the proposal.
