Bitcoin saw another chain split on Aug. 9 after nodes backing BIP-110 began rejecting blocks that did not carry support signals at height 961,632. At the time of the update, Bitcoin’s main chain had advanced to block 961,651, while the BIP-110 fork chain had only reached 961,633, leaving it 18 blocks behind.
BIP-110 is a one-year rule change proposal aimed at limiting non-financial data written into Bitcoin transactions, including uses such as Ordinals inscriptions. Under the proposal, activation requires at least 1,109 signaling blocks, or 55%, within a 2,016-block period of roughly two weeks. In the prior signaling window, however, only 51 blocks supported the proposal, equal to 2.53%.
The fork chain still needs more miner backing to keep moving forward. Under the stated rules, it would need to reach block 963,648 to lock in the change, and the restrictions would begin at block 965,664 for about one year. BlockBeats also cited an earlier warning from Bitcoin developer Kevin Loaec, who said holders selling fork-chain tokens this weekend could face a risk that real BTC might be transferred away.
Bitcoin split again on Aug. 9 after the network diverged over the BIP-110 proposal, according to BlockBeats.
Nodes supporting BIP-110 began rejecting blocks without support signals at block height 961,632. At the time of the report, Bitcoin’s main chain had moved on to block 961,651, while the BIP-110 fork chain had reached only 961,633, putting it 18 blocks behind.
BIP-110 is a one-year rule adjustment proposal designed to limit non-financial data written into Bitcoin transactions, including use cases such as Ordinals inscriptions.
Under the proposal, activation requires at least 1,109 blocks, or 55%, to signal support within a 2,016-block period, roughly two weeks long. In the previous period, only 51 blocks signaled support, equal to 2.53%.
For now, the BIP-110 chain still needs broader miner support to continue advancing. Under the rule set, the chain must reach block 963,648 to lock in the change, and the restrictions would formally take effect starting at block 965,664 for about one year.
BlockBeats also referenced an earlier warning from Bitcoin developer Kevin Loaec. He said that if a Bitcoin fork tied to the disputed BIP-110 proposal takes place this weekend, holders who sell fork-chain tokens could face a risk that their real BTC may be moved away.
