Project Eleven’s benchmark puts each proof at 366,928 bytes; even with BIP-141’s witness discount, that consumes 9.17% of Bitcoin’s 4,000,000-WU block limit and caps a naive recovery path at 10 proofs per block. Phase C becomes a fee auction among stragglers, with only 1,440 recovery slots per target day.
