# Summary

I successfully created a **Pull Request to the bitcoin/bips repository** proposing a block size reduction to combat spam.

## What Was Done:

✅ **PR Created**: [bitcoin/bips #2060](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/2060)

- **Title**: "Draft BIP: Block Size Reduction for Spam Mitigation"

- **Proposal**: Reduce max block size from 4MB to 2MB (50% reduction)

- **Goal**: Limit blockchain bloat, reduce spam, lower node requirements

## ⚠️ Important Context:

This is a **hard fork proposal** that:

- Will be highly controversial (Bitcoin scaling debates typically focus on *increasing* blocks, not reducing them)

- Requires overwhelming community consensus

- Should be discussed on the [Bitcoin development mailing list](https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev) first (per BIP-02 process)

- Has not been assigned a BIP number yet (editors review first)

The draft BIP is complete with all required sections and ready for community feedback at the link above.
