Bitcoin is due a major upgrade. Scheduled for release this October, Bitcoin Core v30 will remove the long-standing 80-byte limit on OP_RETURN. Basically, it’s the part of a Bitcoin transaction that allows you to embed arbitrary data directly onto the blockchain.
Built by a global community of developers working together and relying on miners and node operators, Bitcoin Core is the leading software that powers the Bitcoin network.
He argues that removing the OP_RETURN limit risks turning the blockchain into a dumping ground for spam and child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
According to him, it makes it thicker to control spam but is essential for decentralization.
In turn, they believe that would automatically adjust as more users store data on-chain. But it’s not all doom and gloom, as it could help discourage spam and junk content.
Bitcoin’s maximum TPS is also just 13.2 transactions per second, a hefty 78.83% lower than Ethereum.
Another 25% goes towards the ecosystem’s treasury, with more set aside for community rewards and the token’s listings in Q4 2025.
