## What is BIP-110?

A proposal to temporarily limit non-financial data (like Ordinals) on Bitcoin by restoring OP_RETURN limits and blocking data embeds over 256 bytes. Aims to keep the network payment-focused but faces criticism for potentially censoring transaction types.

## Why the Low Adoption?

Only 0-1% of mining pools support BIP-110. Lack of major players' endorsement and its unconventional UASF activation at 55% threshold (vs Bitcoin's traditional 95%) raise concerns. Critics argue it violates decentralization principles.

## Key Opponents

MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor calls it "dangerous to turn spam debates into consensus changes." Blockstream's Adam Back states "Bitcoin politely says no to what you want." Both warn against creating censorship precedents.

## Technical Timeline

Signaling period spans blocks 957,600 - 959,615. Final deadline arrives at block 961,542 (~August 2026). Without 55% support, BIP-110 proponents might create a minority chain, but it won't affect mainnet.

## Root of the Debate

2025's OP_RETURN limit removal triggered NFT-like data storage boom on Bitcoin, sparking block space efficiency debates. Proponents want payment-focused network, opponents prioritize uncensorable platform ideals.

## Implications

BIP-110 likely won't activate due to lack of support. However, the debate highlights philosophical tensions in Bitcoin's core values (decentralization vs efficiency). Some devs like Peter Todd advocate loosening limits further.
