# 10 - value The value of the input (value) is an 8 byte little endian integer representing the satoshi value of the UTXO being signed. This can be useful when enforcing process states that require either static or dynamic satoshi values to be used or otherwise checked in each iteration of the transaction.

#### Example: Value of input check Checking the value can be a useful gating process to decide whether or not to end a process. In this example, the input value is checked, and if found to be less than 16 satoshis, an alternative condition is created.
