Memecoin culture is currently the single largest source of paid demand for Bitcoin blockspace. Not institutions. Not payments. Not L2s.

MEMES! And they are making Bitcoin more secure.

DOG (on Bitcoin) is no longer just a memecoin, and smart money will understand what is happening here, before all of retail.

Runes are back to roughly 70% of Bitcoin's daily transactions!

But the number that matters is the fee side: Runes now account for roughly 25% of all Bitcoin network fees.

DOG is making Bitcoin more secure!

Bitcoin's security budget is two things: block subsidy plus transaction fees.

solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u is the flagship memecoin, fully distributed with no team allocation.

Let $DOG lead the way

This is just the beginning for Runes

🚨 Even @CoinGecko predicted #Runes would become Bitcoin's leading fungible token standard - eliminating UTXO bloat, onboarding a new wave of Bitcoin users, and generating transaction fees that help pay Bitcoin miners. ⛏️🟧 solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u

It is not enough that over half of all Bitcoin transactions every day are memecoins

The $DOG Army must also plant its flag into Bitcoin at the governance layer

The $DOG Army will soon be running nodes and mining blocks

$DOG Mode is coming!

NEW: Bitcoin Ordinals advocate Leonidas proposes Bitcoin $DOG Mode, an open-source Bitcoin removing restrictions on Runes and Ordinals transactions.

[Leonidas 🧡 $DOG @LeonidasNFT]

I am very excited to announce the launch of a new open source Bitcoin client called Bitcoin $DOG Mode.

Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots have spent years enforcing rules that Bitcoin itself does not have.

A transaction can be fully valid under consensus and still be blocked from normal relay because it is “non-standard”. This has resulted in the creation of a private “black market” for Bitcoin transactions where insiders with connections to miners get do things that ordinary Bitcoin users cannot.

The $DOG Army has already gotten around this system twice.

First we went directly to miners to execute the largest transaction in Bitcoin’s history because Bitcoin Core would not relay it. Then we did it again for the largest airdrop in Bitcoin’s history because of Core’s arbitrary 83-byte OP_RETURN limit.

Around the same time, the Runes Protocol had grown so popular that memecoin activity accounted for the majority of transactions on the Bitcoin network. Many of these transactions also went directly to miners to bypass Core’s minimum relay fee.

Core realized it had been outmaneuvered and in response they released Core v30 which removed the OP_RETURN limit and lowered the default minimum relay fee to 0.1 sat/vB.

This revealed a clear pattern. The $DOG Army could route our “non-standard” transactions around Core, miners would accept them, and then Core was eventually forced to give in.

The $DOG Army is done asking for permission. It is time to remove even more of these frivolous restrictions.

That is why we are starting an open source initiative to develop our own Bitcoin client called $DOG Mode.

When using Bitcoin in $DOG Mode:

1. The maximum standard transaction size will be increased from 400,000 WU to 3,900,000 WU. This will give everyone equal access to do “four meggers” while leaving a generous 100,000 WU of space for the coinbase transaction and block overhead.

2. The global dust limit will be lowered from 294-546 sats (depending on output type) to 1 sat. Ordinals inscriptions and Runes UTXOs are currently forced to carry hundreds of unnecessary sats to appease Bitcoin Core. This will remove the need for “padding” and effectively airdrop ~$25M in locked up sats back to the Ordinals and Runes ecosystem.

Unlike Bitcoin Knots, which deviates significantly from Bitcoin Core and introduces substantial risk to node runners, Bitcoin $DOG Mode aims to only change the absolute minimum code necessary to remove these two restrictions.

And unlike BIP-110, which attempts to change Bitcoin consensus through a network fork, $DOG Mode operates entirely within Bitcoin’s existing consensus rules and does not require a fork.

This ensures that $DOG Mode can be successful from day one.

Over time the economic incentives will drive $DOG Mode’s adoption and force Bitcoin Core to stop gatekeeping and allow these completely valid transactions. The result will be a more open, fair, and transparent Bitcoin network.

If you are a Bitcoin developer who is interested in contributing to the initial $DOG Mode release, please reach out to me.

If you are a Bitcoin miner who is interested in increasing your revenue by adding support for $DOG Mode transactions, please reach out to me.

If you are a normal Bitcoin user who wants to support $DOG Mode quote post this with: “I will run Bitcoin in $DOG Mode”

The irony of Bitcoin Knots and BIP-110 is they've generated more awareness for #Runes and Ordinals than many supporters ever could.

Every debate sparks curiosity. Every controversy drives attention.

Good press or bad press = Great Press 👍

That's Marketing 101.
