Bitcoin's proposed soft fork BIP-54 completes specification, F2Pool does not support early activation

Comparatively, Bitcoin's proposed soft fork BIP-54 (Consensus Cleanup) specification was completed in May 2026 to fix four consensus rule boundary issues without adding Bitcoin features. Wang Chun, co-founder of the digital asset mining pool F2pool, said that if the proposal obtains the required majority through the standard BIP-9 process, F2Pool will upgrade the mining nodes, but will not signal support in advance.

BIP-54 has been tested in the Signet-based test environment Bitcoin Inquisition. Mining pools MARA and ViaBtc have voluntarily produced compatible Coinbase transactions; formal activation parameters have not yet been determined, and mainnet voting has not yet been completed. Previously, BIP-110, which attempted to limit some non-financial data in Bitcoin transactions, did not receive sufficient miner support and stagnated near the block height of about 961635; BIP-54 did not involve restricting general scripting functions.
