I'm building a protocol that lets Bitcoin wallets self-declare "financial" vs "data" transactions -no consensus change needed

Every Bitcoin block has 4 MWU. Financial transactions (payments, Lightning, DEX) and data inscriptions (Ordinals, BRC-20, Runes) compete for the same space. The market treats them identically — highest fee-rate wins — despite fundamentally different time-value curves.

A settlement is worth nothing if it misses this block. An inscription is worth the same next block or next hour. But there's no way to signal that difference to miners.

The approach: Wallets add a 4-byte OP_RETURN to each transaction declaring its type (financial or data). Pools optionally read this and allocate block space with a minimum 30% financial floor. No classifier, no false positives, no oracle trust issue.

- Works with Stratum v1 today (no protocol change)

- Pools capture a data fee premium (~25%) as a new revenue stream

- First-mover pool captures financial tx flow without losing data tx revenue

Would love feedback from people who understand mining economics better than I do. What am I missing?
