Its Friday - time to #UseBCH.

[VLAD HOSTS THE BEST PODCAST IN BITCOIN @Vladcostea]

Lightning network was a mistake

[#9 @ShadowWizardNo9]

@hosseinzde Agreed. BCH DeFi has outgrown the 10-minute wait.

[Alan Mendilaharzu 🇦🇷 @AlanM1989bch_]

Bitcoin Cash ranks now as the only chain with A++ grade due to its properties, scalability, decentralisation, security, and thanks to CashScripts programmability. 💚🔥

Been stirring this pot at 10 minutes a block for years. Ready to stir faster.

I support CHIP-2025-03: lock-in this November, activation May 2027.

@TheBCHPodcast It's really cool to see how the community gradually forms a united front to support this change. I remember the voting sessions, presentations, and discussions online and in BLISS as meaningful steps towards faster blocks 🏎️

SolidCash is out: write Solidity, run it on Bitcoin Cash.

Near-complete Solidity parity. Stateful contracts. A real EVM project, @eaccmarket, running on BCH*. One year of active development, and more than a year of tinkering before that.

None of this was possible before the BCH 2026 upgrade. The upgrade gave the VM the room. SolidCash is what you can do with it.

What SolidCash is:
- solidc, the compiler: .scash source to runtime artifacts
- solidcash, the TypeScript SDK: contracts, transactions, network providers, debugging
- solidhat, the Hardhat analog: whole-project compilation, in-process test network, deployments, generated bindings
- Ethers 5 and 6 shims, so existing EVM tooling habits carry over

What that opens up: a full stablecoin USDT contract on BCH, unwrapping to native CashTokens. ERC-20 contracts that wrap existing CashTokens. EVM bridges. The EVM-like DEXes, lending and DeFi that BCH has been missing. Embrace them.

If you can write Solidity, you can write SolidCash.

Try it: npm create @solidcash/solidhat@latest my-contracts

Or point your AI at it. Solidity parity means your coding agent already knows most of the language. Hand it the agent reference at https://t.co/k1efcGuirX together with your Solidity contract, and let it do the port or cross-compilation.

Disclaimer: this is still a beta. Do not bet too much value on it. Security might need further hardening, and there will be undiscovered gaps. Found a gap? Open an issue and send the contract that broke. Let us close them together and make it better.

Thanks to molecular (@cotta3) and @toorik for the initial support.

* Under relaxed consensus rules: those contracts are larger than today's mainnet limits allow.

After observing activity on Cauldron, we realised that our users had found their own ways to TOP-UP their pools instead of creating new ones. That motivated us to introduce TOP-UP in the application and improve the LP Stats details. Check it out 🧙‍♂️

@TheBCHPodcast @THORChain @CauldronSwap @dagur @h4lvor @KentonC137 Funny thing people don't realize is that soft-forks also can cause chain split if done wrongly. BTC did hard-forks in the past, and even maintained a list to track such proposals https://t.co/qYmJVfIIft. Later along the way they Core adopted the soft-fork crutch.

Accidentally increased my reps at the bench since last session while listening to this episode at the gym. The hype is real 🏹🎯

Hey Cashies!

We’ve been busy behind the scenes and Agent Tokenization is coming to Bitcoin Cash. 🤖💚

After extensive testing on Chipnet, things are looking sharp.

Stay tuned-this is gonna be a big one. 🚀

Did You Know Tuesday: Spotlight on Halvor Bakke-Veiby
It’s Did You Know Tuesday - that special time when we pause to shine a warm light on the builders, dreamers, and quiet heroes who make the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem feel like home.

Today we’re celebrating Halvor Bakke-Veiby, known on X as @h4lvor - co-founder of @RiftenLabs and @CauldronSWAP, co-builder of Moria and WizardConnect, and one half of the original Shadow Wizards. His story is a rare one: from a young Norwegian rocket founder who aimed for the stars, then pointed that same fire at making money more free. Pull up a seat, this one has engines, courage, and a second horizon.

The Kid From Trøgstad Who Aimed at Space
Halvor was born in the late 90's and grew up in Norway with the kind of ambition that does not wait for permission. He started at NTNU, then left the conventional path and founded Solstorm Rocket Propulsion - a company built around rocket engines and a bold idea: do something useful with the junk we have left in orbit. In 2021 he later said they called something like a hundred investors. Norwegian press even placed the young founder on a list that also included Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

He named a company after a solar storm, registered Bakke-Veiby Rocket Propulsion Systems, and set off to build a future among the stars.

Then He Chose a Different Destination
What makes Halvor’s journey feel so BCH is not that the first chapter was perfect. It is that he kept the hunger and refocussed the target.

The same passion. The same refusal to wait for the “right” institution. The same willingness to knock on a hundred doors. He pointed all of it at a different, but very serious, problem: money that can be stopped, frozen, gated, and talked down to by people in suits.
He did not go looking for a quieter life. He went looking for a freer one.

The Shadow Wizard at Riften Labs
Today Halvor builds as a Shadow Wizard at Riften Labs, alongside Dagur Valberg Johannsson (@dagur) and the rest of the Shadow Wizard gang. Together they are a Nordic team making DeFi on Bitcoin Cash that's a pleasure to use, with the fastest DEX in crypto.

Their flagship is Cauldron - the first DEX on Bitcoin Cash, built with CashTokens, using a clever micro-pools design that fits the UTXO model instead of fighting it. It is fast, playful, and serious at the same time. The SOCK token from the alpha still says everything about their spirit: a real pair of physical Cauldron socks, redeemable in the world, tradeable on-chain, enchantable into something a little more magical.

Beside it sits Moria: lock BCH, borrow MUSD, a decentralised USD-pegged stablecoin that's transparent and censorship-resistant rather than another IOU from an issuer who can say no.

They shipped WizardConnect so BCH apps can talk to wallets without leaning on flaky borrowed plumbing. They have shown up on @TheBCHPodcast, at @bchbliss, and in the unglamorous important work of docs, audits, and shipping.

Halvor’s public posture is not corporate. It is closer to “your suit-wearing banker’s worst nightmare” - said with a grin, and then backed by contracts that actually run.

From Cleaning Orbit to Opening the Money Rails
Halvor once wanted to clear the sky of wreckage so the next generation could go further. Now he is trying to clear the financial sky of gatekeepers so ordinary people can go further.
Same instinct. Same altitude.

The rocket engineer became a wizard because he found a place where that ambition could still serve freedom.

Thank You
Halvor, thank you. Thank you for aiming at space when most people would have aimed at a safe job. Thank you for not disappearing when things got challenging. Thank you for Cauldron, for Moria, for WizardConnect, for the jokes and the socks and the serious work underneath the magic. You make Bitcoin Cash stranger, faster, and more free.

Want to show Halvor some love?
Like, repost, and drop your words in the comments - let’s celebrate him together.
Tag @h4lvor and @RiftenLabs.

@cotta3 @heybubblz New crypto users unable to explain which time travellers put PoW verified transactions in the BCH blockchain from 2009 to 2016.

@BCHp2p_es I swapped the LTC straight back to BCH as soon as the transfer cleared 😆

Dropping a BIG update to https://t.co/eozPxFtle8. LMK what u think 📡📡📡

@monsterbitar Nice recap. Looking forward to meet all these awesome people again

[#9 @ShadowWizardNo9]

@_paytaca_ Will there be a stream?

[#9 @ShadowWizardNo9]

@ASvanevik I'm in! 🇧🇻🇧🇻

[#9 @ShadowWizardNo9]

EU shot themselves in the foot leaving 90% of crypto businesses incompliant a few days ago. As always regulating local innovators away from growth. Of course as ~6/8 indicated in this space, the majoroty would probably leave or rot in compliancy bureaucracy. Great job! 💩

[Dash @Dashpay]

Should crypto companies comply with the new MiCA regulations? Or should they just leave the EU entirely?

Come debate with us! Crypto Quorum Ep. 58, sponsored by @EdgeWallet and co-hosted by @zano_project and @RUNEBondApp, this Thursday at 5pm UTC!
