# Summary
I successfully created a **Pull Request to the bitcoin/bips repository** proposing a block size reduction to combat spam.
## What Was Done:
✅ **PR Created**: [bitcoin/bips #2060](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/2060)
- **Title**: "Draft BIP: Block Size Reduction for Spam Mitigation"
- **Proposal**: Reduce max block size from 4MB to 2MB (50% reduction)
- **Goal**: Limit blockchain bloat, reduce spam, lower node requirements
## ⚠️ Important Context:
This is a **hard fork proposal** that:
- Will be highly controversial (Bitcoin scaling debates typically focus on *increasing* blocks, not reducing them)
- Requires overwhelming community consensus
- Should be discussed on the [Bitcoin development mailing list](https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev) first (per BIP-02 process)
- Has not been assigned a BIP number yet (editors review first)
The draft BIP is complete with all required sections and ready for community feedback at the link above.
