OP_CHECKCONTRACTVERIFY and its amount semantic

In the exploration of handling amounts within Scripts, particularly with the introduction and application of a specific opcode in various transaction patterns, several key considerations emerge. The utility of this opcode is scrutinized in the context of "fan-in" and "fan-out" scenarios to understand its applicability and functionality. In "fan-in" transactions, the question arises whether it is feasible to consolidate multiple funding outputs that utilize this opcode into a single output also governed by the same opcode. This inquiry seeks to clarify the mechanism and potential benefits or limitations of such an aggregation strategy.

Similarly, in "fan-out" transactions, the focus shifts to the possibility of dividing a single funding output that employs the opcode into multiple outputs that also use the opcode. This raises questions about the versatility and potential constraints of the opcode when applied to distribute funds across multiple outputs, indicating a need for clarity on the opcode's capacity to function in diverse transaction configurations.

Furthermore, the discussion touches upon transactions characterized by a single input and a single output, both utilizing the opcode. Here, the primary concern revolves around the management of transaction fees. Specifically, the dialogue probes into whether incorporating an anchor output and leveraging the Child Pays For Parent (CPFP) mechanism is a viable strategy for fee handling. Alternatively, it contemplates the use of a "deduct" feature, which would allow for a portion of the opcode-governed amount to be allocated directly toward transaction fees. These considerations underscore the necessity of understanding the opcode's flexibility and the implications for transaction fee strategies within these specialized contexts.
