Bulletproofs are used to prove that the coins are within a range. IPA is a building block. They are a fundamental for building blinded amount ecash. And with blinded amount ecash, you can have ANY amount ecash, which makes ultrasmall wallets possible.

Oh boy... please imagine talking to a 2 year old child when attempting to explain this concept... we're literally on that level. Would be really helpful to have a rough but understandable concept to wrap our (very interested, but limited) minds around
Proving coins are in a range rather than a specific amount is useful to obscure timing around inflows and outflows? This protects mint users’ privacy?

This is already doable with Chaumian ecash unlinkability properties. What we struggle to do is have the same unlikability also forr the amount the ecash is for.

I mean for example one single coin represents the entire wallet with 101 bytes
