⚙️ What is BIP-110?
BIP-110 (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 110) was a proposal created to increase Bitcoin’s maximum block size, allowing the network to process more transactions per block.
The goal was to help $BTC scale as the number of users and transactions grows.
📌 Key points
• Proposed increasing the 1MB block size limit
• Intended to improve the network’s transaction capacity
• Was part of the historical debate around Bitcoin scalability
⚖️ Pros
✔️ More transactions per block
✔️ Potentially lower transaction fees
✔️ Greater network capacity
⚠️ Cons
❌ Larger blocks require more resources to run a node
❌ Risk of greater network centralization
❌ Ongoing debate about security and decentralization
📚 Why it matters
BIPs are proposals used by developers to suggest changes to the $BTC protocol.
Major Bitcoin upgrades, such as SegWit and Taproot, also started as BIPs.
