πŸš€ Bitcoin Core Developers Plan Major Update to OP_RETURN Settings

According to PANews, the Bitcoin Core development team has announced a significant change in the upcoming Core 30 version, set for release in October. The update will modify the OP_RETURN default settings, increasing the data carrier limit from 80 bytes to nearly 4MB. This decision marks a temporary victory for reformists led by Antoine Poinsot over conservatives like Luke Dashjr, who have long debated this issue.

While the new version will still allow node operators to manually revert to smaller data limits, analysts suggest that most nodes will retain the default settings. Critics argue that this move contradicts Bitcoin's original design as a value transfer network and could turn the blockchain into a data storage platform. However, reformists believe that moderate expansion will enhance Bitcoin's functionality and have agreed to allow parameter adjustments as a compromise.

The change is expected to impact the on-chain data storage ecosystem but will not alter Bitcoin's fundamental transaction verification mechanism.

πŸš€ Bitcoin's Taproot Upgrade Sparks Debate Over Network Transactions

According to Cointelegraph, the Taproot upgrade, implemented by Bitcoin developers, has sparked controversy over its impact on the network. Bitcoin Core developer Jimmy Song criticized the upgrade for not considering the 'social attack surface' that allowed nonfinancial transactions, such as Ordinals and BRC-20s, to flood the network. Song expressed disappointment in a video, stating that Taproot failed to deliver on its promised privacy and security features. He highlighted the complexity of Schnorr signatures and Script Paths Spend features, which were expected to improve multisig efficiency but instead complicated the process.

Song's remarks come amid a growing divide among Bitcoin enthusiasts regarding transaction validation on the network. Some, like Adam Back and Luke Dashjr, advocate for Bitcoin to remain a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, as originally intended by Satoshi Nakamoto. Others, including Bitcoin Ordinals leader Leonidas, have embraced Taproot for creating applications like Ordinals and Runes, arguing against transaction censorship. In June, over 30 Bitcoin Core developers agreed to remove the 80-byte limit on the OP_RETURN function, allowing more data to be stored onchain. However, concerns about a potential reversal of this update have led some to consider using Bitcoin Knots instead.

Despite his criticisms, Song has not entirely dismissed the potential benefits of Taproot, suggesting it could still contribute to Bitcoin's development. Meanwhile, Leonidas argues that Ordinals and Runes have bolstered Bitcoin's security by generating over $500 million in transaction fees, addressing concerns about the network's decreasing mining block subsidy. However, reliance on these fees has been inconsistent, with daily fees from Ordinals inscription ranging from $3,060 to $537,400 in 2025, according to Dune Analytics data. The highest recorded fee was $9.99 million on December 16, 2023.

πŸš€ StarkWare CEO and Michael Saylor Discuss Bitcoin's Future and Privacy Concerns

According to PANews, StarkWare CEO and Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson recently shared insights from his first conversation with Strategy founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor on the X platform. The discussion centered on Starknet's mission to advance the Bitcoin economy and the topic of privacy.

Saylor expressed his belief that Bitcoin should not incorporate privacy features similar to those of Zcash, as this could provide sovereign states with a reason to ban it. Ben-Sasson disagreed, suggesting that it is possible to balance privacy protection while allowing key visibility.

The conversation also touched on OP_CAT, with Saylor expressing concerns about making changes too rapidly. Ben-Sasson countered this view, arguing that OP_CAT has been extensively debated and researched over the past decade, and further delays are unnecessary.

πŸš€ Uniswap Foundation's Executive Salaries Under Scrutiny

According to Odaily, concerns have been raised about the executive compensation levels at Uniswap Foundation (UF). Financial statements reveal that the foundation distributed $9.9929 million in grants, while employee salaries amounted to $4.7943 million, with $3.8711 million allocated for executive pay. In 2024, 22% of Uniswap Foundation's total expenditures are projected to cover executive salaries.

In contrast, the Optimism Grants Council had a total grant budget of $63.5 million during the same period, with only $2.1393 million spent on compensation for reviewers and subsequent staff. Even when including a $500,000 KYC service fee, the total compensation for Uniswap Foundation's three executives matches the entire operational cost of the Optimism Grants Council, despite Uniswap Foundation distributing only 20% of the funds compared to the latter.
