Bitcoin Core's upcoming 30.0 update
will increase OP_RETURN's data limit
from 80 bytes to nearly 4MB.
This marks a win for reformers
led by Antoine Poinsot
over conservatives like Luke Dashjr.
Nodes can still choose lower limits,
but most will likely stick to defaults.
Critics say it strays from Bitcoin's purpose,
while supporters argue it enables
new use cases with adjustable settings.
The change impacts data storage
but not core transaction validation.
