CashTokens — activated on Bitcoin Cash in May 2023 — lets anyone issue a native fungible token directly on the BCH UTXO layer. Not a smart contract abstraction sitting on top of the chain. The token itself is miner-validated, lives in a UTXO, and transfers for the same fraction-of-a-cent fee as any other BCH transaction.
What does that actually enable? Consider the design space: a token issuer can define a fixed maximum supply at genesis, set an emission schedule that's publicly readable before a single coin distributes, and let the BCH network handle settlement and ordering via proof-of-work. No separate chain, no separate fee market, no trusted intermediary confirming token transfers. The monetary policy is a token rule; BCH's blockchain is the security layer.
MAXCOIN (MXC) is a live example of what that design space looks like when you fill it in deliberately.
The supply cap is 2⁶³−1 coins — 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 MXC — which is the maximum per-category supply currently possible under CashTokens. That number isn't arbitrary; it's the ceiling the protocol allows, used in full.
The allocation is split three ways, all disclosed upfront:
10% (922,337,203,685,477,580 MXC) went to the initial liquidity pool, paired with ~2.3 BCH in September 2026. This is the only tranche that exists at launch.
~90% (8,300,112,495,965,612,749 MXC) distributes over 50 years starting October 2026, using a declining linear weighting: Year 1 carries weight 50, Year 2 carries weight 49, down to Year 50 at weight 1. The sum of all weights is 1,275. Each year's emission = network pool × (year weight ÷ 1,275). Year 1 gets the largest share. Year 50 gets exactly 2% of Year 1's share. The full 50-year schedule is published in the white paper — every annual amount is a predetermined whole-coin figure using largest-remainder rounding so all 50 years sum exactly to the network pool.
<0.01% (922,337,203,685,478 MXC) is held as a disclosed company reserve, labeled "Company Dust" in the white paper. Separate from the scheduled emission. Disclosed, not hidden.
The three tranches reconcile exactly to the maximum supply. No inflation beyond the schedule, no undisclosed minting.
This is what CashTokens makes possible at the design level: a token issuer can publish a complete monetary policy — supply cap, emission curve, reserve disclosure — and then let BCH's proof-of-work handle the rest. Every MXC transfer settles on the same chain, in the same block, paying the same sub-cent fee as a BCH payment. There's no separate gas market for token transactions, no congestion premium when activity picks up, no bridge contract to audit before you can move tokens between environments.
Compare that to issuing a token on a congested account-based chain: token transfers compete with every other transaction for blockspace, fees spike unpredictably, and the monetary policy is enforced by a smart contract that needs its own security review. The emission schedule might say one thing; the contract code is what actually runs.
On BCH, the CashTokens protocol enforces the supply cap at the consensus layer. An issuer cannot mint beyond the declared category maximum — the network rejects it. The 50-year curve is a design choice the issuer made; the hard cap is something the network enforces regardless.
MAXCOIN's white paper was published August 30, 2026. The emission schedule starts October 1, 2026. The full schedule is public before distribution begins — not retroactively disclosed after the fact.
That's the feature CashTokens shipped in May 2023: a native token layer where the rules are readable, the supply is verifiable, and settlement costs a fraction of a cent. MAXCOIN is one project using it. The design space is open. #BitcoinCash https://t.co/CF42bUvpMZ
🌟 Mid-Week BCH Marketing Boost 🌟
While others chase hype with big budgets, Bitcoin Cash stays pure to the cause: Spending sats and supporting merchants with no foundation, no marketing DAO, just unapologetic decentralised resilience.
That is our strength - and our responsibility.
No one is coming to market BCH for us. Awareness, adoption and real usage only grow when people who believe in free, fast, peer-to-peer cash decide to show up.
Simple daily action:
1️⃣ Build a short list of BCH builders, wallets, merchants and creators you respect
2️⃣ Spend 5–10 minutes a day boosting them - like, thoughtful comment, quote-retweet
Every interaction compounds.
Visibility → Curiosity → New users → Stronger Network.
This week: pick 3–5 accounts, give them a boost, and tag a BCH project you support below.
Let’s build the free future - one post at a time.
Who’s in? 💚 #BitcoinCash #BCH #PeerToPeerCash
