DOG Ordinal supporters propose replacing Bitcoin clients
Leonidas (@LeonidasNFT), a well-known advocate in the field of Bitcoin ordinals and runes and behind the $DOG community, has proposed a new open source Bitcoin client called the "$DOG Model." The plan aims to relax transaction relay strategies that Leonidas believes have long restricted the use of ordinal numbers and runic users on the Bitcoin network.
The core of the proposal lies in Bitcoin's "dust limit", which is the minimum amount of output a node will relay. Currently, this lower limit for standard trading is between 294 and 546 Satoshi. Ordinals (which embed images and text directly into Bitcoin transactions) and runes (which issue homogeneous tokens on Bitcoin) must be padded with additional Bitcoin for their output to reach this threshold. Leonidas said removing the floor would free up about $25 million in filling funds for these ecosystems.
What will the $DOG model change and what will not change
The $DOG model will make two key adjustments to Bitcoin's core relay strategy. First, reduce the dust limit from the current range to 1 Cong. Second, increasing the maximum standard transaction size from 400,000 weight units to 3.9 million weight units means that the node running the client can relay transactions that fill almost the entire block, compared with only about one-tenth of the block's transactions previously.
The key is that the proposal does not touch on Bitcoin's consensus rules-the level that defines block effectiveness, and changes at this level require consensus among a wide range of miners. The relay policy is independent and relatively loose, and only governs what content a single node chooses to forward to its peer node. Because the $DOG model operates at this level, there is no need to fork and miners vote. Leonidas said the goal is to attract enough users to use the new client, ultimately forcing the Bitcoin core to relax its default settings.
The news came as the competing proposal BIP-110-an attempt to restrict non-financial data on Bitcoin through consensus changes-had stalled and had no actual support from any miners. Unlike BIP-110, the $DOG model only needs one miner willing to include such transactions to actually work. The client is still an announced initiative and the code has not yet been released.
