Bitcoin Cash FAQ
- What is Bitcoin Cash?
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a hard fork of Bitcoin that activated August 2017, driven by disagreement over how to scale Bitcoin. The BCH chain raised the block size to 32MB (vs BTC at ~1-2MB with SegWit), aiming for cheaper and faster on-chain transactions rather than layer-2 scaling.
- How is BCH different from BTC?
- Same 21 million supply cap, same halving schedule, same proof-of-work. Differences: larger blocks mean lower fees but heavier full-node requirements; no SegWit, no Lightning Network of note; much smaller mining hashrate, making 51% attacks cheaper; yearly hard forks vs BTC soft-fork conservatism.
- What are CashTokens?
- CashTokens activated May 2023 and brought native tokens plus upgraded scripting to BCH — comparable to what Ordinals/BRC-20 do on Bitcoin, but baked into the protocol rather than layered on. Adoption is modest; DeFi mindshare remains on Ethereum and Solana.
- Who maintains BCH?
- Multiple independent client teams (BCHN, Knuth, Bitcoin Verde) rather than a single dominant implementation. Protocol upgrades are coordinated through a rotating committee and ship on a roughly annual cadence. Previous forks (ABC split to XEC in 2020) have shaped the current governance model.
