Woofun AI reports that Runestone co-founder Leonidas announced the development of DOG Mode, an open-source Bitcoin client designed to circumvent BIP 110 restrictions on non-financial data. The proposed client increases the maximum weight unit for standard transactions from 400,000 to 3,900,000 and reduces the dust limit from 294 satoshis to 1 satoshi. Leonidas stated that eliminating the dust limit could free approximately $25 million in idle funds. Unlike BIP 110, which requires 55% miner support, DOG Mode operates by altering single-node forwarding rules without consensus voting. While noting that DOG Mode deviates less from Core than Knots, Leonidas confirmed no code repository exists yet and called for developer contributions and miner support.
