The BIP-110 Bitcoin data limit proposal is approaching its deadline, and miners’ approval rating is still close to 0
Golden Finance reports that on July 12, the Bitcoin BIP-110 proposal is set to face a deadline in early August, but miner support is still below 1%, indicating the proposal faces significant resistance. BIP-110 stands for “Reduce Data Temporary Soft Fork,” and its core controversy lies in limiting non-financial data in the Bitcoin blockchain. The proposal plans to, within one year, restrict OP_RETURN data capacity, ban arbitrary data writes for most cases exceeding 256 bytes, and limit certain script formats mainly used for data storage.
Supporters believe the proposal would make the Bitcoin network more focused on payment functions and reduce the load on node operation; opponents argue it would elevate policy disputes over block space usage into a consensus rule change, determining which transactions are “acceptable” transactions.
Strategy founder Michael Saylor and Blockstream co-founder Adam Back have both publicly opposed BIP-110. Saylor said: “There are 110 things more dangerous than garbage data,” and claimed the proposal will “turn the garbage data debate into a consensus change, making some transactions that are currently valid and paying fees invalid.” Adam Back said that if supporters cannot accept the current state, they can choose to fork, but “Bitcoin won’t join.”
Data shows that BIP-110 uses a user-activated soft fork mechanism, setting a 55% miner signaling threshold, but miner signaling rates have never exceeded about 1%; the current cycle is even at 0, with no major mining pools supporting it. The share of nodes running BIP-110 software is also only in the single digits, mainly from Bitcoin Knots users.
The proposal’s current signaling cycle is expected to end near block height 959,615, with voluntary locking expected to begin in early August and activation planned for around September. If broad support is still lacking then, it could lead to a minority of nodes forming a separated chain.
