Chain identity and integration data

Production reference for Bitcoin BIP110 chain identity, node software, network parameters, BLAKE2b proof of work, logo assets, replay protection, custody, and exchange integration.

Chain identity

Fork anchors are the network discriminator

Bitcoin BIP110 shares Bitcoin's genesis block, mainnet network magic, default ports, and address encodings. Services must identify the chain using the fork-anchor hashes below rather than address appearance or chain=main.

Mandatory identity rule: a checkpoint mismatch should disable deposit crediting and withdrawal broadcast.

Issue and supply basis: the date of issue is the date of the first Bitcoin BIP110 branch block at height 961,632. The 20,067,600 BIP110 figure is the nominal subsidy-derived supply through the last common height 961,631 and does not subtract lost, burned, or otherwise provably unspendable coins.

Consensus transition

BLAKE2b and version-2 headers

The Bitcoin BIP110 branch used SHA-256d through height 961,639 and permanently switched to BLAKE2b at height 961,640 on 30 August 2026.

Raw-header consumers must support the version-2 fields exposed by the reference node, including txcount, header_version, nonce2, nonce3, extranonce, time_offset, header_flags, xor_key, xor_key_mask_clear_bits, and mm_rhs.

Temporary consensus window

Reduced-data rules

The temporary reduced-data window activates with BLAKE2b at height 961,640 and expires according to previous-block median time past at 1 September 2027 00:00 UTC. BLAKE2b remains active after expiry.

Replay protection and custody

SIGHASH_UNIFIED is opt-in

Ordinary signatures spending shared pre-fork outputs can remain valid on both histories. SIGHASH_UNIFIED uses hash-type bit 0x20 and tagged hash UnifiedSighash to provide one-way replay protection for signatures that opt in.

PropertyValue
Opt-in granularityPer signature
Covered script familiesBare/P2SH, SegWit v0, Taproot key path, Tapscript
Signer input dataValue and scriptPubKey of every spent output
Reference test vectors166
Normal withdrawal inventoryUse BIP110_ONLY outputs; exclude SHARED and UNKNOWN

BTC and BIP110 systems should use separate data directories, node processes, wallet databases, signer namespaces, deposit mappings, withdrawal queues, broadcast paths, and accounting asset IDs.

Production verification

Minimum RPC identity profile

Check the following. A service should fail closed if a mandatory checkpoint fails, the node reports initial block download, the wallet or indexer materially lags the node, RPC health fails, or the signer is unavailable.
