Time-Lock Mechanism for UTXOs

[stoXmod]

We are currently developing a feature that involves a runes-locking mechanism using your APIs. However, we noticed that there isn't a method for implementing time locks on UTXOs either when they're created or transferred.

Requirement

Our goal is to add time locks to UTXOs to control their usability based on predefined conditions. The intended approach is to intercept received transactions and apply a time-lock script to the specific UTXOs we wish to lock.

Questions

• Is intercepting transactions and adding a time-lock script the recommended approach with your API for this requirement?
• Are there alternative methods or workarounds that we should consider?

Looking forward to your guidance and any resources you can provide!

What are you trying to achieve? Why do you need time locks? Is this for etching & activation height of 84000 and ensuring they are not spent earlier?
