'''UASF''' is an acronym which stands for '''User Activated Soft Fork''' in the context of [[Bitcoin]].

A UASF is the coordinated activation of a [[Bitcoin_scalability_problem#Soft_fork|Bitcoin soft fork]] on a specified date and enforced by a [[supermajority]] of full nodes rather than relying on miners alone. In order to succeed, participating nodes must represent the so-called "economic majority" - users, exchanges and businesses with significant influence over the Bitcoin economy. A UASF requires developer, industry and user coordination. In the past, a UASF was successfully carried out to activate the P2SH soft fork (aka BIP16). On Feb 25, 2017, a [[pseudonymous]] contributor named Shaolin Fry proposed that UASF be used to activate [[Segregated Witness]] and later published details in BIP148.

UASF is commonly misspelled as USAF
. USAF is not a common acronym for anything in the context of [[Bitcoin]] or [[blockchain]] technologies.
