A merged pull request removed the 80-byte OP_RETURN relay cap, sparking one of the most divisive mempool policy debates since the block size wars. The introduction of this change raises questions about policy implications and network stability. As nearly 3,000 nodes are now at risk, the Bitcoin community is engaging in crucial discussions to navigate these challenges.
