Bitcoin Core OP_RETURN Expansion Sparks Funding Concerns, Leading to Satoshi Action Fund Withdrawal

Bitcoin’s core development has been shaken by an update to the OP_RETURN data limit, with financial support for the project being withdrawn in response. While 31 developers backed the change, which increases data storage capacity, co-founder of the Satoshi Action Fund Dennis Porter expressed disagreement due to a lack of consensus on protocol changes. This move has sparked concerns about funding stability and potential disruptions to Bitcoin’s development roadmap.
