根据Mempool Research于2月4日发布的一份报告，对比特币的铭文的采用日益提高可能会将平均块大小提高到4MB。这种重大的演变发生在一个上下文中，关于使用比特币网络的辩论与2015年至2017年之间社区分裂的旧“阻止战争”呼应。

比特币网络目前正在进行重大扩展阶段。根据Mempool Research的一份新报告，其块的平均大小现在超过1.5 MB，自2021年Taproot更新以来，其大幅度大幅增加。

The growing adoption of inscriptions on Bitcoin could lead to an increase in the average block size to 4 megabytes (MB), according to a report released on February 4th by Mempool Research. This significant evolution occurs in a context where the debate over the use of the Bitcoin network echoes the old “block wars” that divided the community between 2015 and 2017.

根据Mempool Research于2月4日发布的一份报告，对比特币铭文的采用日益增加可能导致平均块大小增加到4兆字节（MB）。这种重大的演变发生在一个上下文中，关于使用比特币网络的辩论与2015年至2017年之间社区分裂的旧“阻止战争”呼应。

Bitcoin block size now exceeds 1.5 MB on average

比特币块大小平均超过1.5 MB

The Bitcoin network is currently undergoing a major expansion phase. According to a new report from Mempool Research, the average size of its blocks now exceeds 1.5 MB, a significant increase since the Taproot update of 2021. This growth is primarily explained by the success of “Inscriptions,” a technical innovation that allows the integration of various types of data into the Bitcoin blockchain. Researchers have already observed blocks reaching 2.4 MB, and this trend could continue up to 4 MB per block if the adoption of inscriptions continues to accelerate.

比特币网络目前正在进行重大扩展阶段。根据Mempool Research的一份新报告，其块的平均规模现在超过1.5 MB，自taproot更新2021年以来的显着增加。这种增长主要是通过“铭文”的成功来解释，“铭文”的成功，这是一项允许集成的技术创新在比特币区块链中的各种类型的数据。研究人员已经观察到达到2.4 MB的块，如果采用铭文的采用继续加速，则这种趋势可能会持续到每块4 MB。

“We are considering different scenarios for evolution,” the report specifies. “Either a return to moderate growth as before the inscriptions, or a rapid expansion to 4 MB per block if their use becomes widespread.” In this latter case, the Bitcoin blockchain could reach a size of one terabyte between 2026 and 2029.

该报告指定：“我们正在考虑进化的不同方案。” “要么像铭文之前一样回到中等增长，如果它们的使用普遍存在，则可以将其快速扩展到每个块4 MB。”在后一种情况下，比特币区块链在2026年至2029年之间可以达到一个trabyte。

A transforming ecosystem in the face of competition

面对竞争的转型生态系统

The evolution of block size is part of a broader transformation of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Since Taproot, the network has seen the emergence of native decentralized exchanges and layer 2 scaling solutions, significantly enhancing its initial capabilities. This technical expansion comes at a pivotal moment, as native decentralized finance of Bitcoin is expected to be one of the most promising sectors for 2025. The acceleration of institutional adoption and the maturation of the DeFi ecosystem on Bitcoin support this trend.

块大小的演变是比特币生态系统更广泛转化的一部分。自taproot以来，网络已经看到了天然分散交换和第2层缩放解决方案的出现，从而显着增强了其初始功能。这种技术扩展是在一个关键时刻出现的，因为预计比特币的本地分散式融资将是2025年最有前途的部门之一。机构采用的加速和比特币对比特币的成熟为支持这一趋势。

However, Bitcoin faces increased competition from alternative blockchains. Networks like Solana, capable of handling 128 MB blocks, or Celestia, aiming for gigabyte storage, offer significantly superior storage capabilities, enabling more complex transactions at lower costs.

但是，比特币面对替代区块链的竞争增加。诸如Solana之类的网络，能够处理128 MB块或CELESTIA，旨在进行Gogabyte存储的网络提供了显着较高的存储功能，以较低的成本使更复杂的交易实现。

The Echo of the Block Wars

块战争的回声

This technical evolution revives the memory of the “block war” that divided the Bitcoin community between 2015 and 2017. At that time, two camps opposed each other: the supporters of “big blocks” who wanted to increase capacity to reduce transaction fees, and the advocates of “small blocks” prioritizing network decentralization. Current debates on inscriptions and BRC-20 tokens raise similar questions regarding the optimal use of blockchain space. While increasing block size allows for more innovations like NFTs and smart contracts, it also raises concerns about transaction costs and network accessibility for small users.

这种技术演变恢复了对2015年至2017年间比特币社区的“阻止战争”的记忆。当时，两个阵营相互反对：“大块”的支持者，他们想增加减少交易费用和减少交易费用的能力“小块”优先考虑网络分散化的拥护者。有关铭文和BRC-20代币的当前辩论提出了有关区块链空间最佳使用的类似问题。虽然增加块大小可以提供更多的创新，例如NFT和智能合约，但它也引起了对小用户交易成本和网络可访问性的担忧。

In summary, the major difference with the historical debate lies in the fact that Bitcoin’s technical architecture is now better established, with scaling solutions like Lightning Network. The market will ultimately decide the value of these new use cases, within the technical limits defined by community consensus.

总而言之，与历史辩论的主要区别在于，现在比特币的技术架构现在可以更好地建立，并具有诸如Lightning Network之类的扩展解决方案。市场最终将在社区共识定义的技术限制内确定这些新用例的价值。
