Bitcoin Core Releases Statement on Bitcoin Core Development and Transaction Relay Strategy

金色财经2025/06/07 13:24

The Bitcoin Core Project has issued a statement saying that Bitcoin is a network defined by its users, who have the ultimate freedom of choice to run any software they wish to use (whether or not it performs full validation) and to implement any policies they wish to follow. Contributors to Bitcoin Core do not have the authority to dictate which rules users must follow. This principle is reflected in the long-standing practice: Bitcoin Core software does not support automatic updates. This means that no entity can unilaterally push changes to Bitcoin Core users. All changes must be actively chosen by users to upgrade to a new software version or to select different software. This freedom to run any software is the primary safeguard for the Bitcoin network against external coercion. "As developers of Bitcoin Core, we also believe we have a responsibility to ensure that the Bitcoin Core software operates its core functions—validating and relaying blocks and transactions—in the most efficient and reliable manner, thereby supporting Bitcoin's success as a decentralized digital currency. In terms of transaction relay, Bitcoin Core may incorporate certain strategies, such as denial-of-service (DoS) protection mechanisms and fee assessment strategies, but we will not block the relay of transactions that have ongoing economic demand and can be reliably included in blocks."
