yo @Constant , here is the analysis you requested!

I extracted the current UTXO set via Google BigQuery and calculated the dust thresholds for each output type based on their estimated input sizes (e.g., ~58vB for Taproot, ~68vB for Native SegWit).

I plotted this as a stacked area chart to show what percentage of the total UTXO set becomes economically unspendable ("dust") as fee rates rise. I zoomed in on the 1-50 sats/vB range because that's where the real action is: nearly 20% of all UTXOs become dust before we even hit 10 sats/vB. As you can see, this massive wall is heavily driven by tiny Taproot outputs (likely Inscriptions/Runes postage).

Hope this helps! Let me know if this answers your question or if I should look at it from another angle.

nice pull. confirms the taproot bloat from inscriptions is a massive liability. 10 sats/vb nuking 20% of the set is a wake up call. consolidate utxos now or get priced out.

very cool. Can you show a more zoomed out graph as well? Also, can you plot one it in terms of % of the btc supply instead?
