## Summary
|
|
|
|
When the median time past of the most recent 11 blocks (MTP-11) is greater than or equal to UNIX timestamp 1526400000 Bitcoin Cash will execute a protocol upgrade according to this specification.
|
|
Starting from the next block these consensus rules changes will take effect:
|
|
|
|
* Blocksize increase to 32,000,000 bytes
|
|
* Re-enabling of several opcodes
|
|
|
|
The following are not consensus changes, but are recommended changes for Bitcoin Cash implementations:
|
|
|
|
* Automatic replay protection for future protocol upgrade
|
|
* Increase OP_RETURN relay size to 223 total bytes
|
|
|
|
## Blocksize increase
|
|
|
|
The blocksize hard capacity limit will be increased to 32MB (32000000 bytes).
|
|
|
|
## OpCodes
|
|
|
|
Several opcodes will be re-enabled per [may-2018-reenabled-opcodes](/protocol/forks/may-2018-reenabled-opcodes)
|
|
|
|
## Automatic Replay Protection
|
|
|
|
When the median time past of the most recent 11 blocks (MTP-11) is greater than or equal to UNIX timestamp 1542300000 (November 2018 protocol upgrade) Bitcoin Cash full nodes implementing the May 2018 consensus rules SHOULD enforce the following change:
|
|
|
|
* Update `forkid`[1] to be equal to 0xFF0001.
|
|
|
|
ForkIDs beginning with 0xFF will be reserved for future protocol upgrades.
|
|
|
|
This particular consensus rule MUST NOT be implemented by Bitcoin Cash wallet software.
|
|
|
|
[1] The `forkId` is defined as per the [replay protected sighash](/protocol/forks/replay-protected-sighash) specification.
