About

What is Bitcoin Cash?

Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency that emerged from a contentious 2017 hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain, increasing the block size limit to enable cheaper, faster on-chain transactions. It retains the 21 million supply cap and Proof of Work consensus of its parent chain.

History

Origin & evolution

Bitcoin Cash forked from Bitcoin on 1 August 2017 over a long-running debate about how to scale Bitcoin's transaction throughput. Supporters of larger blocks created BCH to preserve the original vision of Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system used for everyday payments.
