BTC Bitcoin's BIP-110 soft fork attempt has entered the signaling phase, starting at 961,632. This marks the beginning of miners indicating whether they support the proposed change. The milestone is a checkpoint during the upgrade process, not an activation point, and opens a window for the network to show how much support the proposal actually receives.
BIP-110 enters the signaling phase in block 961, 632
The signaling phase is at the heart of the news: Starting from this block, miners can flag support for BIP-110, and the network will see if momentum builds. Entering the signaling phase makes this soft fork attempt actionable to developers, miners and node operators tracking Bitcoin governance. Early support seemed limited. Reports indicate that when BIP-110 entered the mandatory signaling phase, miners 'support rating was less than 3%, a figure that highlights how far the proposal is from any activation threshold. Previously, when the support rate was only 2.64%, there were reports that the signal window was coming.
WhatBIP-110 is trying to change
BIP-110 is a Bitcoin improvement proposal that is a formal mechanism for recording protocol changes and submitting them for review. The complete technical specifications have been published in the BIP-110 document of the Bitcoin BIP Warehouse. Just because a proposal enters the signaling stage does not mean it will be adopted. The intent of BIP-110 and whether miners and the wider community will coordinate its activation are two different issues.
Why the signaling phase is important
Signaling functions serve as an indicator of support rather than a guarantee of activation. It allows the network to measure, within a specific window, how many miners are willing to support the change. Bitcoin protocol changes rely on stakeholder coordination among miners, developers, and node operators, which is why soft fork attempts can attract the attention of the entire ecosystem. Any assets that may arise as a result of the controversy are attributed to the broader issue of whether the Bitcoin fork will provide new assets to holders in a 1:1 ratio in 2026.
What happens next after the signal starts
The next step is to focus on supporting trends rather than fixed results. Whether BIP-110 can surpass the signaling phase depends on whether sufficient miner support appears during the window period. Monitoring milestones is different from final activation. The signaling phase may pass, but the proposal fails to achieve the level of coordination needed to lock in changes, so the current low support rate is a key variable to track. For more information about the proposal and its status, please check the official BIP-110 project website.
FAQs on Bitcoin BIP-110 and the signaling phase
What does block 961,632 mean for BIP-110?
This is the block at the beginning of the BIP-110 signaling phase, and miners can start to sign support for the proposal.
Does the signaling phase mean that activation is guaranteed?
No. The signaling phase measures support during a window period and is not activated. When BIP-110 entered the signaling phase, miners 'approval rating was less than 3%, well below any activation level.
Why is BIP-110 important to Bitcoin?
As a Bitcoin improvement proposal, it represents potential protocol-level changes, and its progress reflects how the network coordinates upgrades.
