Foundry USA asked its mining customers to signal their support for BIP-110, an actively debated proposal seeking to shrink the amount of data that can be stored in a Bitcoin transaction. Foundry USA began asking mining customers to vote on how the pool should signal on Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP-110), a soft fork proposing to shrink how much data can be stored in Bitcoin transactions to limit non-monetary transactions, such as Ordinals, on the Bitcoin network. The world’s largest mining pool by hashrate also released educational resources on the proposal and said that the voting window will close at Bitcoin block 961,632, or sometime in early August. Foundry’s mining clients can cast their votes by accessing a link received via email. Read more
The man in control of the biggest Bitcoin corporate treasury said he shares the objectives but disagrees about the remedy detailed in the proposed temporary fork. Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took to social media on Sunday to detail his “110 reasons” why a proposed temporary fork to limit non-monetary transactions on the Bitcoin network, or BIP-110, is a bad idea. Bitcoin Improvement Proposal-110 was introduced in December 2025 to stop nonfungible token-like Ordinals inscriptions and other arbitrary data from spamming the network and to preserve BTC’s main use as a peer-to-peer cash system. In a roughly 3,700 word post on X.com, the man in control of the largest Bitcoin (BTC) corporate treasury made a case for what he said are “neutral rules, hard consensus, open markets, and permissionless innovation.” Read more
The Bitcoin proposal caps arbitrary data in an attempt to combat spam from non-monetary transactions on the Bitcoin network. The number of Bitcoin (BTC) nodes signaling support for Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 110 (BIP-110), a temporary soft fork limiting the amount of data included in each transaction at the consensus level, rose to 2.38%. 583 out of 24,481 nodes are running BIP-110, and the primary node software implementation for running the soft fork proposal is Bitcoin Knots, according to The Bitcoin Portal. BIP-110 limits the size of transaction outputs to 34 bytes and caps the OP_RETURN data limit to 83 bytes. The temporary soft fork will be deployed for 1 year, with possible extension or alteration after the 1-year term, according to the proposal’s GitHub page. Read more
