Saylor, Adam Back Reject BIP-110 Ordinals Proposal Amid Community Split

What happened: Prominent Bitcoin figures Michael Saylor and Adam Back publicly criticized BIP-110, a proposal to restrict data-heavy transactions (including Ordinals) for one year by capping OP_RETURN and data pushes. Saylor argued the proposal would "invalidate some currently valid, fee-paying transactions," while Back warned it undermines decentralization. Miner support for BIP-110 remains below 1%, far short of the 55% threshold needed for activation, with a forced-activation deadline looming in early August. Ordinals activity has plummeted to under 10,000 daily inscriptions from a 2023 peak above 400,000.

Why it matters: The debate exposes deep divisions within the Bitcoin community over protocol changes and the handling of on-chain data. While some see BIP-110 as necessary to curb spam, others view it as a dangerous precedent that could fragment consensus. The lack of broad miner support and split community sentiment suggest the proposal faces significant hurdles, and the controversy may persist well past the activation deadline.
