Odaily News: The specification for Bitcoin's proposed soft fork BIP-54 (Consensus Cleanup) was completed in May 2026, aiming to fix four consensus rule boundary issues without adding new Bitcoin features.
On August 10, Wang Chun, co-founder of digital asset mining pool F2pool, stated that he does not support BIP-54. He said that if the proposal obtains the required majority through the standard BIP-9 process, F2pool will upgrade its mining nodes, but will not issue a signal of support ahead of time.
BIP-54 has been tested in Bitcoin Inquisition, a Signet-based testing environment. Mining pools MARA and ViaBTC have voluntarily produced compatible coinbase transactions; the official activation parameters have not yet been determined, and the mainnet vote has not been completed.
Previously, BIP-110, which attempted to restrict certain non-financial data in Bitcoin transactions, failed to gain sufficient miner support and stalled around block height 961,635; BIP-54 does not involve restricting general script functionality. (Bitcoin.com News)
