+## Rejected Ideas
+
+- Store inner transactions (with all transaction columns) in a separate table with additional column for batch payer.
+  This would allow colocating inner transactions with their batch parent, but would require additional
+  storage for duplicated data. Only downside to not taking this approach is additional query overhead when
+  retrieving batch transactions by transaction id.
+- Store inner transactions as a jsonb column on transaction with array of payer account and valid start. This approach
+  was ejected due to potential bloat from using jsonb data type.
+
 ## Open Questions
 
 - Can block streams remove duplication of inner transaction bytes?
