BIP-110 forced signal window approaching, current miner support signal rate approximately 2.59%

Odaily Planet Daily News Bitcoin developer Chris Guida has reset the PoW change code written by Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr in 2017 onto the recent Bitcoin Knots codebase. The code has not yet been scheduled for activation, and Guida stated that it is a contingency plan, not an imminent fork.
BIP-110 is a temporary soft fork proposal that aims to restrict arbitrary data that can be embedded in Bitcoin transactions within approximately one year, including restoring the OP_RETURN 83-byte consensus limit. The proposal requires 55% miner signal support, which is 1,109 blocks out of 2,016 blocks, to achieve early lock-in.
If the threshold is not reached, the forced signal window will begin at block 961,632, expected to occur around August 8 or 9. Nodes implementing BIP-110 will subsequently reject blocks that do not emit a support signal, with lock-in expected no later than block 963,648 and activation targeted at approximately block 965,664.
As of 8:15 AM Eastern Time on August 7, 2026, the chain tip height is 961,425, with 207 blocks remaining until the start of the forced window. Only 47 out of 1,818 blocks have emitted BIP-110 support signals, with a current signal rate of approximately 2.59%.
