DOG Mode is an alternative Bitcoin client that relaxes default relay policies affecting transactions like Ordinals and Runes without changing Bitcoin's core consensus rules. This approach reignites a debate over Bitcoin's governance, censorship, and the role of free markets, contrasting with the stricter BIP-110 proposal that aimed to limit data-heavy transactions on-chain.

Its adoption could reshape how Bitcoin nodes handle transactions but remains uncertain.
