Bitcoin Nodes Backing BIP110 Split Into Minor Fork; Alternative Chain Lags by 20 Blocks

AI Market Summary
A minority of Bitcoin nodes running BIP110 split into a separate chain at block 961,632, but it has minimal hash power and is ~20 blocks behind, while the main chain continues normally. With only ~2.53% signaling versus a 55% activation threshold, the event is unlikely to change consensus rules near term. Still, it highlights governance and block-space policy tensions that can elevate operational and reputational risk.

PANews, Aug. 9 — A small group of Bitcoin nodes attempting to advance the BIP110 proposal split from the main network at block height 961,632, forming a separate chain with only a limited share of the network's hash power, The Block reported. The main Bitcoin blockchain continues to add blocks as normal. By contrast, the BIP110 chain has produced just two new blocks so far and is now 20 blocks behind the main chain. BIP110 is a one-year proposal aimed at limiting the inclusion of non-financial data—such as ordinals—on Bitcoin. The effort has revived debate over how Bitcoin block space should be used. Over the past two weeks, only 2.53% of blocks have signaled support for BIP110, well below the 55% activation threshold.
