BIP-110 Fails to Gain Traction with Miners Amid Debate Over Bitcoin's Future
The Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 110 (BIP-110) has been met with low miner support, sparking concerns about its potential activation. This proposal aims to limit data-heavy Ordinals on the Bitcoin blockchain. Blockstream CEO Adam Back downplays fears of a forced Bitcoin chain split, stating that the proposal requires majority miner signaling by early August 2026 and will expire naturally if not approved.
The debate surrounding BIP-110 follows concerns from Bitcoin infrastructure firms and figures like Michael Saylor about potential impacts on Bitcoin's neutrality and transaction policies. The Bitcoin community is closely watching the upcoming signaling window to see if BIP-110 will quietly expire or spark a broader conflict over Bitcoin's future.
