Bitcoin’s BIP‑110 signaling deadline in August is approaching, giving exchanges, wallets, mining pools, and node operators a defined window to plan for possible activation.
Bitcoin’s BIP‑110 signaling deadline in August is approaching, giving exchanges, wallets, mining pools, and node operators a defined window to plan for possible activation. According to Farside Investors, miner signaling for the proposal has remained below 0.5% of total blocks since May 1. Data from BGeometrics show 38 signaling blocks out of 9,066 total blocks since May 1, a rate of 0.42%; in the latest seven‑day period, June 26 to July 2, the rate rose to 0.8%. Miner lock‑in requires 55% of blocks in a difficulty adjustment period, equivalent to 1,109 of 2,016 blocks, a threshold that is far from current support. The BIP‑110 specification defines a mandatory‑signaling period from block 961,632 to 963,647, with lock‑in no later than block 963,648 and activation at block 965,664, roughly two weeks before a year of enforced restrictions. Operators must determine whether to adopt new software rules, modify deposit and withdrawal policies, or wait for stronger miner participation. Analysts note that a major pool’s decision to signal could quickly raise the signaling rate and reduce the distance to the 55% lock‑in target, while continued low levels keep the campaign technically visible but operationally remote. The August deadline therefore creates a planning deadline rather than an immediate market event.
