According to BlockBeats, on July 1, OP_CAT supporter and Taproot Wizards CEO Udi Wertheimer said during an appearance on the Xverse podcast that the probability of OP_CAT being activated is "close to 100%." The OP_CAT function was proposed by Ethan Heilman and Armin Sabouri in October last year and was recently launched on the Bitcoin test network Signet and assigned the BIP-420 number, indicating that the ecosystem is seriously considering upgrading it.
Many crypto industry celebrities, including Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, added "BIP-420" to their usernames on the X platform to express their support for the upgrade. Taproot Wizards launched the Quantum Cats Ordinals series in February to promote OP_CAT. In April, Taproot Wizards released a white paper outlining a framework for building applications using OP_CAT.
