Bitcoin BIP110 soft-fork plan sets mandatory signaling at block 963,648, with activation at 965,664
AI Market Summary
Public tracking of Bitcoin BIP110 miner signaling makes a previously abstract soft-fork dispute an operational deadline for exchanges, wallets, pools, and node operators ahead of an August 2026 mandatory-signaling window. Current support is extremely low (0.42% since May 1), reducing near-term activation probability, but fixed block-height milestones raise coordination and chain-risk planning needs. Any major pool signaling shift could rapidly reprice governance and settlement risk.

Bitcoin’s BIP-110 proposal lays out a defined on-chain activation path that requires 55% miner signaling (1,109 of 2,016 blocks) within a difficulty adjustment period. If that threshold is not met, the plan moves into a mandatory signaling phase at block height 963,648 (around August 2026) and would activate at height 965,664. As of July 2, only 38 signaling blocks were recorded network-wide (0.42%), far below the threshold, with Farside and BGeometrics publishing ongoing public tracking to help exchanges, wallets and node operators prepare. The mechanism does not change the direct drivers of BTC’s price, but it creates one of the clearest soft-fork windows in recent years, prompting infrastructure providers to begin compliance reviews.
