Foundry's BIP-110 Vote Tests Miner Consensus
Foundry USA, which controls about a third of Bitcoin’s hashrate, opened a hashrate-weighted vote on whether to signal support for BIP-110, counting non-responses as No and requiring 51% of participating hashrate to switch to Yes; the voting window runs until early August at block 961,632. The proposal would temporarily cap non-monetary data in blocks to curb Ordinals, but critics warn it could freeze funds or invalidate ordinary transactions, and current support is well under 1%, leaving activation unlikely despite Foundry’s potential influence.
