🛠️ Bitcoin Core Update: OP_RETURN Limit Removed
The Bitcoin Core development team has announced a significant protocol change: the removal of the 80-byte limit on the OP_RETURN field in transactions. This update allows for larger data payloads and multiple OP_RETURN outputs per transaction, aligning the protocol more closely with current mining practices. While this change enhances data storage capabilities, it has sparked debate within the community regarding potential impacts on block size and network efficiency.
