BIP-110 proposal declared dead as CLARITY Senate vote delayed to September
BIP-110 failed mandatory signaling with only 2.5% support and spun off into a minority chain that produced just two blocks in eight hours.
Cointelegraph reports that the BIP-110 soft fork proposal has been declared Dead On Arrival after its supporters hoped it would reduce spam activity on the Bitcoin network by eliminating non financial transactions such as Ordinals.
The outlet says BIP-110 secured only 2.5% support ahead of mandatory signaling on Saturday, then split into a minority chain that mined two blocks in eight hours before stalling. It also notes the proposed difficulty would not have adjusted downward unless the chain had mined through another 2,014 blocks.
Cointelegraph adds that the effort became uneconomic because mining costs on the new chain would have remained difficult and expensive while offering no clear way to sell the block rewards to offset expenses. The story also outlines the debate, with opponents calling it censorship and supporters arguing it targeted spam, while Bitcoin advocates and executives warned about risks to neutrality, consensus, and credibility.
On the US policy front, Cointelegraph reports that the CLARITY Act is not yet moving to a final vote, with a procedural vote expected before the August recess and a scheduled cloture vote set for September 15. Senator Tim Scott said the procedural step should happen before lawmakers leave, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune declined to force a vote before recess.
