🗓️ Published: 2025-05-06T10:00:00-04:00

📄 Summary: In a significant move for the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin Core developers have decided to eliminate the longstanding limit on transaction data under the OP_RETURN output. This change, announced by developer Greg Sanders, will enable transactions with OP_RETURN outputs exceeding 80 bytes and any number of these outputs to be relayed and mined. As the original cap has proven ineffective, its removal aims to enhance network efficiency and alignment with real-world usage, despite concerns from some community members regarding consensus and financial utility.
