### Versatility of Content

Cell boxes can store any data types, as long as there is enough space to fit them. This feature makes CKB highly flexible, allowing you to store any kinds of information beyond just cryptocurrency value. This is also why CKB is called [common knowledage base](docs/concepts/glossary#common-knowledge-base).

### Advanced Coding Capabilities

Unlike the simple and limited code that UTXOs can carry, Cells can use complex, Turing-complete codes akin to the normal software runing on your computer. You can learn the difference of [limited scripts](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script) and [Turing-complete scripts](docs/concepts/glossary#script) further.

### Dual Lock System

BTC only has one lock to guard the ownership of the UTXO box while CKB can have two locks for one Cell box.

- The first required lock is called [Lock Script](docs/concepts/glossary#lock-script), which is used to safeguard ownership, similar to BTC’s system.
- The second optional lock is called [Type Script](docs/concepts/glossary#type-script), which determines how the boxes can be spent and updated in the future.

Some people are trying to do things like type script to give BTC the ability to limit and determine how the UTXO can be spent and updated in the future transaction, it is called [covenant](https://cointelegraph.com/explained/what-are-bitcoin-covenants-and-how-do-they-work). However, CKB has such ability from the very first beginning due to the design of it. This also makes CKB the ideal layer 2 for Bitcoin since they share the same ideololegy but CKB has more powerful programability.
