Bitcoin’s BIP-110 enters mandatory signaling with miner support below 3%
The deployment milestone tests whether enforcing nodes can sustain the change amid limited miner signaling and discussion of a hard-fork fallback.
Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 110 (BIP-110) has entered its mandatory-signaling phase, with miners signaling support in only 51 of the preceding 2,016 blocks, or 2.53%. This is well below the 55% threshold required for early activation, according to the BIP-110 monitor. The proposal, which aims to limit the size of output scripts and OP_RETURN outputs, as well as restrict certain data pushes and witness elements, is being tested to see if enforcing nodes can sustain the change amid limited miner signaling.
The low signaling rate makes a sustained rival chain unlikely without substantially greater miner participation.
