BIP-110 supporter Dathon Ohm said on X that mandatory signaling for BIP-110 will begin after about 290 blocks, or roughly 48 hours, at block height 961632. Miners will need to start signaling readiness or their blocks will be treated as invalid and discarded. Ohm also urged miners and users to upgrade to Bitcoin Knots nodes and said he does not recommend continuing to run Bitcoin Core, arguing that Core will become unsafe once mandatory signaling begins. Foresight News noted that BIP-110 is a Bitcoin improvement proposal aimed at limiting the size and method of arbitrary data embedded in Bitcoin transactions at the consensus layer, including Ordinals inscriptions, BRC-20 tokens, Runes, large OP_RETURN payloads, and some Taproot constructions used for data storage.

BIP-110 mandatory signaling is set to start in about 48 hours

BIP-110 supporter Dathon Ohm said on X that mandatory signaling for BIP-110 will begin after about 290 blocks, which he described as roughly 48 hours. He said the activation point corresponds to block height 961632.

From that point, miners must begin signaling that they are ready for BIP-110. Otherwise, their blocks will be treated as invalid and discarded.

Ohm also urged miners and users to upgrade to Bitcoin Knots nodes. He said he does not recommend continuing to run Bitcoin Core, arguing that Core will become unsafe once mandatory signaling starts.

What BIP-110 is designed to do

Foresight News noted that BIP-110 is a Bitcoin improvement proposal aimed at limiting, at the consensus level, the size and method of arbitrary data embedded in Bitcoin transactions.

Its main targets include Ordinals inscriptions, BRC-20 tokens, Runes, large OP_RETURN payloads, and some Taproot constructions used for data storage. The proposal is intended to reduce the burden that blockchain "spam data" places on node storage and bandwidth.
