ProductionReady co-founder Jimmy Song emphasizes that to maintain Bitcoin's monetary properties and enhance decentralization, the network needs a conservative client software. He mentions that by restoring OP_Return data restrictions and reducing node storage costs, the decentralization and resilience of the network can be promoted, allowing more users to afford running nodes.

Golden Finance reports, on April 5, that Jimmy Song, co-founder of the nonprofit organization ProductionReady, said the Bitcoin (BTC) network needs a more conservative Bitcoin client node software to maintain its monetary properties and enhance the network’s decentralization. The organization is committed to providing funding for the development of Bitcoin open-source node software and related education. ProductionReady plans to restore the 83-byte OP_Return data limit for arbitrary non-monetary information in Bitcoin transactions. He added that lowering node storage costs by limiting arbitrary data is crucial for network decentralization. He said: “The more self-directed Bitcoin users are, the more decentralized and more resilient the network becomes. This means bringing the cost of running a node down to a level that ordinary people can afford.”
