Odaily Planet Daily reports that discussions around Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 110 continue to intensify. Bitcoin pioneer and Blockstream co-founder Adam Back retweeted that although the proposal is described as a temporary soft fork to clean up on-chain “junk data” and curb on-chain data inflation caused by protocols like Ordinals, its design could hinder Bitcoin’s future upgrade capabilities. This is because the proposal would disable the OP_SUCCESS opcode in Tapscript, which is considered an important reserved mechanism for future soft fork upgrades. Additionally, BIP-110 limits the size of Taproot control blocks to 257 bytes, which could impact the development of potential Layer 2 technologies like BitVM that rely on extensive script execution. Although BIP-110 is positioned as a “temporary measure,” Bitcoin soft fork upgrades typically require years of coordination, and restricting upgrade interfaces during this period could have long-term consequences.
