Bitcoin Cash was born when Bitcoin’s block-size dispute became an incompatible ledger on 1 August 2017. Its history runs through emergency mining rules, the 2018 BSV split, the BCHN’s 2020 rise and rejection of Bitcoin ABC’s later 8% coinbase path, and later CashTokens, adaptive blocks and a richer transaction VM.
Bitcoin SV split from Bitcoin Cash in November 2018 and inherited Bitcoin's UTXO and halving lineage. Genesis changed its rules and Chronicle specifies further changes, while signed node alerts can freeze or reassign outputs. Spending depends on the rules participating nodes accept.
eCash is the November 2020 Bitcoin Cash ABC chain expressed in XEC after a one-to-one-million redenomination, not a replacement token. SHA-256 proof of work writes its history while eCash Avalanche adds stake-weighted Post-Consensus and, since November 2025, Pre-Consensus. Its unusual story is also a story of policy: each block divides rewards among miners, protocol development, ecosystem funding and stakers.
