Runestone co-founder Leonidas announced the launch of the open-source Bitcoin client DOG Mode, intending to raise the per-transaction limit for single transactions that nodes forward by default from 400,000 to 3.9 million weight units, and to lower the “dust” threshold to 1 satoshi to expand the propagation space for data transactions such as Ordinals and Runes. DOG Mode only modifies the node forwarding strategy and does not require miner voting or consensus upgrades, running counter to the BIP 110 direction that restricts non-financial data. BIP 110 currently has almost no support from miners; DOG Mode has no code repository or official release yet. (CoinDesk)

The dust threshold for 1 satoshi is too low. Micro-payments are a good thing, but on-chain data will become dirtier, and regular users’ transfers could get stuck behind a bunch of small UTXOs.

Nobody pays attention to BIP 110. The DOG Mode directly does reverse operations—somewhat interesting. But there’s no code repository either, so we’ll wait and see.

Increase the transaction limit to 3.9 million—Ordinals and Runes players are celebrating, but can the node load handle it?

Leonidas’ move here is clever: by not touching the consensus layer and only changing the forwarding strategy, it avoids miners’ votes while giving inscription transactions the green light. Still, the risks in terms of security and the potential for transaction spam need to be weighed.

Doing it like this to carry out a dust attack probably means it’ll blow up.
