Data: Bitcoin nodes supporting BIP-110 have increased to 2.38%
BlockBeats News, January 25 — According to Cointelegraph, the number of Bitcoin nodes supporting Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 110 (BIP-110) has risen to 2.38%. This proposal is a temporary soft fork that limits the amount of data in a single transaction at the consensus layer.
Based on data from The Bitcoin Portal, out of 24,481 nodes, 583 are running BIP-110, with the main node software implementation for this soft fork being Bitcoin Knots.
BIP-110 limits the transaction output size to 34 bytes and sets the OP_RETURN data cap to 83 bytes. According to the description on the GitHub page for this proposal, the temporary soft fork will be deployed for 1 year, with the possibility of extension or modification after expiration.
OP_RETURN is a scripting code that allows users to embed arbitrary data. Since the release of Bitcoin Core 30, the latest version of the most widely used Bitcoin node software, this feature has been a focal point of intense debate within the Bitcoin community.
The OP_RETURN data limit was originally set at 83 bytes, but Bitcoin Core developers unilaterally removed this restriction in Bitcoin Core 30. This change stems from a controversial code merge request first proposed in April 2025, which was widely opposed by the Bitcoin community.
