Around August 7, BIP-110 enters the mandatory signaling phase. This proposal aims to temporarily (about a year) restrict on-chain data inscription, targeting things like inscriptions and BRC-20. Miner signaling rate is currently only 0.98%, not even close to the 55% threshold—basically, it's just Ocean voting. But the mechanism is designed to be very aggressive: after block 961,632, nodes running the BIP-110 software will directly reject—regardless of the support rate, similar to the hard push of AmericaF back in the day. The opposition camp is basically an all-star lineup: Core developers, Saylor, Adam Back, Lopp, and David Bailey have outright labeled it as a "hostile takeover attempt, already failed." On the node side, it's mainly Knots holding the line, but their share is just a low single digit. It's unlikely to result in a meaningful minority chain—lots of noise, little action. However, if there is a brief reorg in early August, exchanges might temporarily increase confirmation requirements. If you have large deposit/withdrawal needs during those days, it's best to avoid that period.
