In August 2026, Bitcoin will undergo two significant protocol events in a compressed timeframe. BIP-110, a temporary soft fork aimed at limiting arbitrary data in transactions, requires mandatory miner signaling starting at block 961,632. Shortly after, around block 964,000, Paul Sztorc plans a hard fork to launch eCash, a new chain with a 1:1 airdrop to BTC holders and Drivechain activation. These overlapping events create pressure on miners, exchanges, and custodians to manage signaling, potential chain splits, and asset custody, marking a critical test of Bitcoin’s governance and market confidence.
