Bitcoin Core Development Team Schedule OP_RETURN Change in October

PANews reported on June 10 that according to Protos, the Bitcoin core development team announced that it will modify the OP_RETURN default settings in the Core 30 version released in October, increasing the data carrier cap from 80 bytes to nearly 4MB. The decision marks a phased victory for the reformists led by Antoine Poinsot in a long-standing dispute with conservatives such as Luke Dashjr.

While the new version still allows node operators to manually restore smaller data limits, analysis points out that most nodes will remain in default settings. Conservatives criticized this move for violating the original intention of Bitcoin as a value transfer network and could turn blockchain into a data storage platform. The reformists believe that moderate expansion will help expand Bitcoin functions and have made compromises that allow parameter adjustments. The change is expected to affect the on-chain data storage ecosystem, but will not change the basic transaction verification mechanism of Bitcoin.
