Adam Back and Michael Saylor have successively published articles opposing BIP110's 'Filtered Fork' proposal.
Blockstream CEO Adam Back and Strategy founder Michael Saylor have both published statements opposing the BIP 110 proposal. Adam Back stated that BIP 110 essentially attempts to constrain others’ behavior via consensus-layer measures, which contradicts Bitcoin’s core attributes of decentralization and permissionlessness. Bitcoin’s technical consensus mechanism is itself an efficient immune system; any change not rigorously vetted by hundreds of developers cannot pass. He called on BIP 110 supporters to deeply understand Bitcoin’s operational logic rather than initiating a separate fork. In contrast, Michael Saylor noted that BIP 110 elevates a spam debate to a consensus change that could invalidate some currently valid transactions, and this precedent itself is the real risk. BIP 110 is a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) designed to modify the default relay policy to filter or restrict specific types of data embedded in on-chain transactions, such as OP_RETURN outputs. Its supporters argue that this move will help curb the proliferation of on-chain spam.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard announces closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Xinhua News Agency, the Navy of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced in the early hours of the 12th that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed effective immediately, with no vessels allowed to pass. Earlier, Iran had stated that foreign powers’ interference in Strait of Hormuz affairs and illegal demarcation of vessel transit routes would prompt Iran to “resolutely respond”. Citing unsafe conditions caused by illegal interference from foreign powers, the Strait of Hormuz is closed effective immediately until further notice and until the U.S. stops interfering in the region. Iran warned that if the U.S. uses this incident as a pretext to launch new attacks on Iran, Iran will respond fiercely by targeting more U.S. bases in the Middle East.
