25 million USD is being "imprisoned" in Ordinals and Runes transactions—and DOG Mode has just appeared as a key that doesn’t require miners’ consent.
Instead of waiting for BIP 110 to die off in votes (currently 0% support), Leonidas proposes a standalone Bitcoin client: all it takes is a single miner agreeing to a fee to include a "non-standard" transaction in a block. DOG Mode raises the transaction size limit to nearly 4 million weight units and drops the dust threshold to 1 satoshi. This move could unlock about 25 million USD in extra space that these ecosystems are currently using to get around Bitcoin Core’s relay policy.
The key point: this is not a network upgrade—only a client-side change. If it succeeds, it opens the door to larger and cheaper transactions on Bitcoin. But right now it’s only a claim; there is no source code yet.
My take: this highlights fragmentation within the Bitcoin community around non-financial data. If DOG Mode has code and a major miner adopts it, liquidity for Ordinals/Runes could increase significantly. But don’t jump into any token just because of this news—track the actual development progress.
DYOR, manage risk. Nothing is certain yet.
