Bitcoin developers debate lifting OP_Return data storage limit
On April 29th, it was reported that Bitcoin core developers are engaged in intense debates over the removal of the OP_Return data storage limit. The proposal submitted by Peter Todd, PR 32359, suggests abolishing the current 83-byte data carrier output limit, and has received theoretical support from Antoine Poinsot, a developer at Chaincode Labs. Developers point out that the existing limit has been proven ineffective - users continue to store non-financial data through various means such as Taproot unspendable outputs and miner private memory pools (such as MARA Slipstream).
Supporters argue that the current limit is illusory and hinders legitimate use cases; while opponents, represented by Luke Dashjr, criticize the proposal as "completely insane," emphasizing the need to fix vulnerabilities rather than condone "spam data attacks." Developers are posting new comments on the mailing list thread and GitHub every hour. Some express support with a simple "concept ACK," but have not yet conducted comprehensive technical testing, while others post "concept NACK" to indicate opposition.
