On This Day (In Bitcoin History)
2013 - SegWit Upgrade Activated
On August 23, 2017, the Segregated Witness (SegWit) upgrade began activating on the Bitcoin network - improving Bitcoin's scalability and addressing the transaction malleability issue.
SegWit introduced a new data structure that allowed blocks to be measured by "weight" instead of size, effectively increasing the block capacity to 4 MB without compromising the network's integrity.
