Wushu reports that Galaxy Research indicates that OP_RETURN transactions currently account for about 3.8% of Bitcoin block disk space daily, with OP_RETURN transactions containing over 80 bytes of data only making up approximately 0.016%. Galaxy Digital's head of research, Alex Thorn, stated that since the release of Bitcoin Core v30, the space occupied by OP_RETURN in blocks has not significantly increased, and even though OP_RETURN transactions exceeding 80 bytes have grown slightly, their proportion remains below 0.1%. He believes that given the limited actual impact of these prunable transactions, BIP-110 is an overly aggressive and disruptive response.

BIP-110 is indeed a bit aggressive; data speaks louder than emotions.

Simply put, the competition for on-chain space is always a cost game, not a moral judgment.

Thorn's analysis is quite calm. Once the number 0.016% is presented, the controversy immediately diminishes.
