Once the softfork expires, UTXOs of all heights are once again unrestricted. +== Exemptions and Adjusted Limits == + +To preserve key developments like Miniscript, covenants, BitVM, Taproot Assets, quantum-resistant signatures (BIP-360), and L2 anchors (Lightning/Ark), the following exemptions and adjustments are introduced during the temporary period, without compromising anti-arbitrary-data restrictions: + +=== Modified Taproot Limits === +* Control blocks: Maximum 1024 bytes (~512 Merkle leaves), instead of 257 bytes. Enables recursive verification in BitVM and covenants (CTV/CSFS). +* Taproot annexes: Exempt up to 128 bytes if containing metadata for Taproot Assets (tokens/NFTs) or quantum-resistant scripts (P2TSH post-BIP-360). + +=== Specific Exemptions === +* Tapscripts with OP_IF/OP_NOTIF: Allowed up to depth 8 in Taproot leaves for Miniscript policies (e.g., Liana/Nunchuk multisig with timelocks). Excludes non-standard OP_SUCCESS*. +* L2 anchors: Exempt if output scripts < 34 bytes (P2WPKH/P2TR key-path for Lightning/Ark channel openings/closures). +* Witness pushes: Up to 512 bytes for post-quantum signatures or verifiable L2 commits. + +=== Conditional Duration === +* Rules expire automatically after 1 year, with community review signaling enabled via block bit 5 after 6 months. +* Pre-activation UTXOs remain permanently untouched. +* Recommended relay policy: Reject data >83 bytes in OP_RETURN post-expiration. + +These changes raise the cost of abuse (Ordinals/inscriptions) while enabling minimal on-chain innovation, requiring testnet validation before mainnet deployment. + ==Motivation== In order to protect Bitcoin's intended function as the Internet's native money, the Bitcoin community has historically treated techniques for embedding arbitrary data into Bitcoin transactions with antagonism.
