Before digging into CLTV, we should first recall how `nLockTime` works. Before digging into CLTV, we should first recall how `nLockTime` works.
As detailed in [§6.4: Sending a Transaction with a Locktime](06_4_Sending_a_Transaction_with_a_Locktime.md), locktime is enabled by setting two variables, `nLockTime` and the `nSequence`. The `nSequence` must be set to less than 0xffffffff (usually: 0xffffffff-1), then the `nLockTime` is interpreted as follows: As detailed in [§8.1: Sending a Transaction with a Locktime](08_1_Sending_a_Transaction_with_a_Locktime.md), locktime is enabled by setting two variables, `nLockTime` and the `nSequence`.

`OP-CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY` is a simple opcode that looks at a single argument, interprets it as a blockheight or UNIX timestamp, and only allows its UTXO to be unlocked if that blockheight or UNIX timestamp is in the past. Setting `nLockTime` on the spending transaction is what allows Bitcoin to make this calculation. `OP-CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY` is a simple opcode that looks at a single argument, interprets it as a blockheight or UNIX timestamp, and only allows its UTXO to be unlocked if that blockheight or UNIX timestamp is in the past.

_What is the Power of CLTV?_ You've already seem that simple locktimes were one of the bases of Smart Contracts. CLTV takes the next step. Now you can both guarantee that a UTXO can't be spent before a certain time _and_ guarantee that it won't be spent either. In its simplest form, this could be used to create a trust that someone could only access when they reached 18 or a retirement fund that they could only access when they turned 50. However it's true power comes when combined with conditionals, where the CLTV only activates in certain situations. > :fire: ***What is the Power of CLTV?*** You've already seem that simple locktimes were one of the bases of Smart Contracts.
