Bitcoin BIP-110 Soft Fork Stalls After Two Blocks as Miner Support Falters

BitcoinWorld Bitcoin BIP-110 Soft Fork Stalls After Two Blocks as Miner Support Falters Bitcoin’s latest attempt at a soft fork, known as BIP-110, has stalled just two blocks after activation over the weekend, leaving the forked chain stranded dozens of blocks behind the mainnet.

The development, first reported by Decrypt, underscores the challenges of implementing protocol changes without broad miner consensus. What Happened with BIP-110?

The chain split occurred at block height 961,632, when a minority of miners began producing blocks under the new rules. However, after roughly eight hours, only two blocks had been mined on the fork, with the network failing to gain traction.

According to data cited by Decrypt, miner support for the forked chain stood at just 2.53%, far below the 55% activation threshold required for the proposal to take effect.
