Network fundamentals
Core parameters published on the official Bitcoin II launch site.
- Consensus Proof-of-Work secured by the SHA-256 hashing algorithm.
- Max supply 21,000,000 BC2 with the same halving cadence of every 210,000 blocks.
- Difficulty retarget Adjusts every 2,016 blocks so block times remain consistent as hashrate changes.
- Fresh genesis Bitcoin II starts from a brand new blockchain, giving miners an even playing field.
- Mining cadence Launch difficulty reset to 1 for fairness, while today's security relies on SHA-256 ASIC hash power.

Keeping blocks lean
Bitcoin II Core retains the 80-byte OP_RETURN
ceiling so transaction data stays prioritized over arbitrary
payloads.
Future consensus work is focused on reducing non-transactional storage vectors altogether—follow progress in the Daily Network Report.
