Ordinals Developers Say Inscriptions Will Survive Bitcoin BIP-110 Data Clampdown

Ordinals developers say their inscriptions technology will keep working even if Bitcoin’s proposed BIP-110 rule change is activated to curb file storage on-chain. According to BeInCrypto, BIP-110 would cap extra transaction data at 256 bytes per piece for one year, breaking today’s inscription method, and would be enforced from around early August by nodes running the software rejecting unflagged blocks. Ordinals developer lifofifoX published a workaround on July 2 that splits files into smaller pieces, and Ordinals creator Casey Rodarmor backed waiting to merge it until BIP-110 activates. The proposal is authored under the pen name Dathon Ohm and credits Bitcoin Knots maintainer Luke Dashjr; Blockstream CEO Adam Back and Strategy’s Michael Saylor warned of fork risk.
