Hey everyone, I was digging into some research for a project and hit a snag that I can't quite wrap my head around. I figured this forum would be a good place to bring it up and get some clarity.
So, transactions have two main outputs related to the protocol, depending on the source or info pool:
1. vTXOs output
2. the output connection
From what I understand, a vTXO output is a psbt binary tree, where each leaf stands for a vTXO. But what about the connector? Is the binary tree format the same for that? Or does it break the connector's output into several dust outputs using just one (virtual) psbt?
What’s the deal with connector batches in Ark pool transactions?

I know that I'm replying to an old topic, but I noticed nobody did a year ago. Better late than never. Note that the theoretical background has changed quite a bit since October 2023.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to make them in one of the following two topics:

That's not accurate. A VTXO is a leaf of the VTXO tree. This tree is created, not by the output of a VTXO, but by a shared output. Think of a shared output as a locking tapscript, which can be unlocked either by the user by unrolling the tree anytime, or by the ASP after a specified timeout.
The connectors follow the same approach, as with VTXO. There is a connector tree. When a new round transaction is initiated, for every VTXO the ASP creates, there is a connector output from the next round.
