Cobra: Bitcoin Update via UASF in 2025 and Its Implications

a year ago

Cobra, the anonymous owner of the Bitcoin.org domain, has issued a warning about a potential user-activated soft fork (UASF) for Bitcoin scheduled for 2025. The initiative aims to introduce the CheckTemplateVerify (CTV) function to the BTC network.

What are UASF and CTV?

UASF is a user-activated protocol change, while CTV, based on the BIP 119 proposal, allows users to set specific spending conditions for wallets. This could enhance security for significant and institutional Bitcoin holders.

Pros and Cons of CTV

Proponents assert that CTV enhances cold wallet security, whereas critics are concerned about its impact on Bitcoin's fungibility and the increased codebase complexity, which could lead to security issues.

Cobra's Warning

Cobra emphasized in a public statement: "Some Bitcoiners will attempt to soft fork CTV via a UASF in 2025. Developers (non-Core) are currently working on the code and activation parameters. Not enough people are paying attention."

Some Bitcoiners will attempt to soft fork CTV via a UASF in 2025. Developers (non-Core) are currently working on the code and activation parameters. Not enough people are paying attention.

Introducing CTV via UASF in 2025 could significantly impact Bitcoin network's security and stability. Users and developers should pay attention to this potentially pivotal shift in the ecosystem.
