His PR 32359 proposal would lift the current 83-byte limit on OP_RETURN outputs and eliminate customizability options for node operators, potentially giving companies like Citrea, Stacks Foundation, and Taproot Wizards an edge. Their support for these changes stems from their potential to facilitate larger transactions, but this raises questions about corporate influence over Bitcoin’s evolution.
