BIP-110 enters mandatory signaling with just 2.53% miner support, far below the 55% threshold needed for activation.
Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 110 (BIP-110) entered its mandatory-signaling phase at block 961,632, with miners signaling support in only 2.53% of the prior 2,016 blocks. The 55% threshold required for early activation remains out of reach, raising doubts about the proposal’s viability without broader miner participation.
Nodes enforcing BIP-110 now reject blocks lacking the required version bit, while standard nodes continue accepting all blocks. A minority chain briefly emerged but failed to sustain momentum, highlighting the challenges of advancing a contentious upgrade without consensus. The proposal aims to impose temporary limits on Bitcoin data, including a 34-byte cap on new output scripts.
The low signaling rate suggests a sustained rival chain is unlikely unless miner support increases significantly. The outcome will test whether a minority-backed change can succeed without dominant network backing.
