Bitcoin Core programmers decided to delete the transaction data limit in the next network update, enabling more data to enable more efficiently.
“The next edition of Bitcoin Core will be by default relays and mine, whose op_reuntun outputs exceed 80 bytes and allow any number of these outputs”, read announcement on Github by the developer Bitcoin Greg Sanders on May 5.
He added that the long -lasting limit was originally a “delicate signal that the block space should be used sparingly for unpaid evidence of publication data.”
Proposal (PR 32359) It was created by the Bitcoin Peter Todd pioneer at the request of the Chaincode laboratory.
OP_RETURN is a special type of Bitcoin (BTC) transaction output, which allows you to store diminutive amounts of data on blockchain, popularized during the inscription of mad ornals at the beginning of 2024.
Unlike regular transactional outputs, OP_reuntun outputs are not possible to issue and not flattensed transaction outputs (UTXOS).
The original limit is no longer effective, because people are around it, such as the operate of false output addresses, which are actually worse for the network, while some mining services have already ignored the limit, said Sanders.
“Inscriptions for large Date take place regardless of this and can be done in a more or less offensive way; CAP only directs them into more opaque forms that cause damage to the network.”

He added that the benefits of removing the limit include a cleaner UTXO set or output database, more consistent network behavior and better adaptation to how bitcoins are actually used.
Three possible paths were included: holding the hat, lifting the hat and removing the hat, which eventually decided after obtaining “a wide, though perhaps unanimous support”.
A controversial change in bitcoins
“Many users believe that this is an undesirable change for many reasons” he said Bitcoiner Samson MOW on x 5 May. He added that users “may refuse to update and stay on 29.0 or run a different implementation of the network.
Critics stated that the proposal was introduced without a proper consensus process.
“I think one thing is quite clear, there is no consensus at the moment in this issue of OP_RETURN” he said Managing partner of the TEM31 Fund Marty Bent.
Some also expressed concerns about the depiteritization of Bitcoin financial utility and asked questions about undisclosed conflicts of interest.
