DOG Mode client targets relay limits for Ordinals and Runes data
The proposed client would raise Bitcoin Core’s standard transaction limit to 3.9 million weight units and cut the dust limit to one satoshi to free up an estimated $25 million in “padding.”
CoinDesk reports that an Ordinals and Runes advocate, Leonidas, is backing an open source Bitcoin client called DOG Mode that aims to bypass a stalled effort known as BIP-110, which seeks to restrict non-financial data through a consensus change.
According to the report, DOG Mode would not change consensus rules. Instead, it would adjust Bitcoin Core relay policies by lifting the maximum standard transaction from 400,000 weight units to 3.9 million, and by cutting the dust limit to one satoshi, changes intended to allow near block size transactions that currently get rejected by Core’s “non standard” defaults.
The outlet also says the approach could help unlock an estimated $25 million in “padding” currently used by Ordinals and Runes, because most nodes run Bitcoin Core and therefore enforce its relay behavior in practice. By contrast, miners could still mine transactions that Core would not relay, but DOG Mode is designed to make nodes forward such transactions.
CoinDesk adds that while BIP-110 would require consensus support and has effectively no miner backing, DOG Mode would rely on relay behavior and could work with just one miner handling transactions. The initiative is described as announced without code so far, and it comes days after CoinDesk reported a deadline for BIP-110 with minimal industry support.
