Brief

BIP-110 seeks to block large data uses like Ordinals and BRC-20 on Bitcoin, but only 38 miner signals (2.70%) at block 961,022 are far short of the 55% voluntary threshold. At block 961,632 BIP-110 nodes reject non-signaling blocks; without major miner support the proposal will stall or fork into an unpopular chain.

Why it matters

BIP-110 aims to stop large data being stored on Bitcoin (specifically targeting Ordinals and BRC-20) because supporters believe BTC should be used mainly for payments.

Key details

  • Only 38 miner signals (2.70%) were recorded at block 961,022, far below the 55% voluntary activation threshold BIP-110 requires, making activation effectively impossible under current signaling.
  • At block 961,632 BIP-110 nodes will reject non-signaling blocks; without major miners reversing course, backers risk creating a separate, low-adoption chain (Michael Saylor highlighted these stats).
Source evidence

BIP-110 is effectively dead:

  • BIP-110 wants to stop large amounts of data like Ordinals and BRC-20s from being stored on Bitcoin.

  • Supporters believe $BTC should mainly be used for payments, not as a data storage layer.

  • But changing Bitcoin's rules requires broad support from miners.

  • Right now, only around 2.7% of miners are signaling for BIP-110.

  • That's nowhere close to enough support.

  • If that doesn't change, Bitcoin continues operating under its current rules.

  • BIP-110 supporters could eventually end up on a separate chain.

  • And that chain would likely have very little adoption.

  • So for now, BIP-110 is effectively dead.

At 961,022, BIP-110 has 38 signals (2.70%). Its 55% voluntary threshold is impossible. At 961,632, BIP-110 nodes reject non-signaling blocks. Unless major miners reverse, Bitcoin continues normally while BIP-110 stalls or forks into irrelevance. Its backers should stand down.
