I notice that many coinbase transactions(like in block 720,815) with locktime=0x00000000 and sequence=0xFFFFFFFF, which means UTXO could be spent immediately. There seems to be no limit to coinbase's immediate use.

I know there is a block maturation time, i just don't understand how to implement it? when nodes verify UTXO, is there extra step to verify coinbase UTXO height ? why don't just use CLTV or CSV ? – KHJUAF403456ZS3K564WAEF Jan 30 '22 at 02:31

Coinbase maturity is verified here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/consensus/tx_verify.cpp#L182 – bordalix Jan 30 '22 at 06:33
