# getaddressutxos - Zcash

This method returns all unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) held by one or more transparent addresses. Optionally includes chain-info metadata (chain tip height and hash) alongside the UTXOs for consistency guarantees. **Transparent UTXOs only** — shielded notes are not enumerable.

## Parameters

| Parameter             | Type   | Required | Description                |
| --------------------- | ------ | -------- | -------------------------- |
| `addresses_or_object` | object | Yes      | Request object (see below) |

### Request Object

| Field       | Type            | Required | Description                                                             |
| ----------- | --------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `addresses` | array of string | Yes      | Transparent addresses to query                                          |
| `chainInfo` | boolean         | No       | If `true`, wrap the UTXO list in a chain-info envelope. Default `false` |

## Response Parameters

| Parameter             | Type            | Description                                             |
| --------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| `utxos`               | array of object | List of unspent outputs (present when `chainInfo=true`) |
| `utxos[].address`     | string          | Address holding this UTXO                               |
| `utxos[].txid`        | string          | Transaction ID containing the UTXO                      |
| `utxos[].outputIndex` | integer         | Output index within the transaction                     |
| `utxos[].script`      | string          | Hex-encoded scriptPubKey                                |
| `utxos[].satoshis`    | integer         | UTXO value in zatoshi                                   |
| `utxos[].height`      | integer         | Block height at which the UTXO was created              |
| `hash`                | string          | Chain tip hash at query time (chainInfo=true only)      |
| `height`              | integer         | Chain tip height at query time (chainInfo=true only)    |

## Use Cases

* **Wallet Coin Selection**: Enumerate UTXOs for coin-selection algorithms when constructing new transactions
* **Transparent Balance Verification**: Independently sum UTXOs to verify `getaddressbalance` results
* **Consistent Snapshot Reads**: Use `chainInfo=true` to get UTXOs alongside the tip they were read at
* **Custody Reconciliation**: Enumerate all UTXOs across a family of custody addresses for accounting
