Today we launch the new BCH-1.
A new chapter for Bitcoin Cash.
The entire ecosystem visible in one place, every funded project, with what it promised and what it delivered, a proposal pipeline, and a direction built to expand its reach.
BUILT BY THE COMMUNITY
Since 2020, Bitcoin Cash holders have donated 18,201 BCH through crowdfunding. That's about 10 million dollars.
That money built wallets, node software, developer tools, merchant services and media. It came from people who want this network to win, with nothing asked in return.
Bitcoin Cash launched in August 2017, and adding the years before 2020 would likely make that figure even higher.
That record deserves to be seen. Until now it was spread across hundreds of campaign pages, Telegram threads and code repositories. BCH-1 brings it together.
TWO AUDIENCES, ONE RECORD
Stakeholders want a clear view of the ecosystem. Holders, donors and builders should be able to check what was funded and what it produced without digging through old threads.
Investors and companies need a way in. Bitcoin Cash competes for capital with every other chain, and people with money to deploy look for evidence of real work before they commit. A public record gives them that evidence and gives builders a better shot at raising.
But there is more, how do we move the needle on Bitcoin Cash on issues that fall to the tragedy of commons, doesn't fit fundme and require coordination?
MONERO SOLVED THIS A DECADE AGO
Bitcoin Cash has already proven that its community will fund development. What Monero added was accountability.
Every Monero CCS proposal is broken into milestones, and funds are released only when each milestone is delivered. Every coin spent is visible on a public record, and contributors publish progress reports as the work moves forward. Donors don’t have to take anyone’s word for it, because they can check.
Others have built on the same idea. OpenSats publishes its grants alongside the results they produced. The MAGIC Monero Fund shows that a small committee can research proposals, fund them and explain every decision in public.
BCH-1 brings that standard to Bitcoin Cash. The Core Team is unpaid and invitation-only, so decisions stay about the work.
The Core Fund is not a monthly burn. When no proposal meets the bar, the money stays in the fund. Every transaction is published against a public ledger.
Operations are clearly stated for minimum upkeep, designed to run on fumes if needed.
Donors donate if they see useful work, thats it.
THE SOLUTION
BCH-1 is an accountability layer that sits on top of the crowdfunding Bitcoin Cash already uses. https://t.co/24MhoyP4kp handle the fundraising.
BCH-1 records what each campaign raised, what it promised and what it delivered, and who consistently delivers results.
Tracking a whole ecosystem by hand would take a full-time team, and the cost would eat the funds it’s meant to protect.
So BCH-1 is designed to be partly autonomous scaffolding. AI agents gather sources, watch repositories, track commitments and draft the reports. People step in where judgment matters.
The same record drives new funding. Anyone can propose work, and the Core Fund pays for it in milestones, the way Monero’s CCS does. Delivery reports show whether each milestone landed before the next payment goes out.
BCH-1 takes no side in consensus. It advances Bitcoin Cash technology and reach and stays out of protocol politics, and every project is judged on the same criteria.
That neutrality is what lets holders, builders and investors all trust the same record.
ECOSYSTEM DASHBOARD
One unified stakeholder terminal showing everything going on in Bitcoin Cash, fundmes, proposals, project updates.
PROJECT REGISTRY
207 projects in one registry, searchable by category, funding source and activity. Each entry links to its campaigns, sources and history, so anyone can trace a project from first raise to latest release.
EVERY FUNDME AND FLIPSTARTER CAMPAIGN
Every campaign since 2020 is recorded in one place, from Flipstarter to https://t.co/24MhoyP4kp. Each one links back to the project it funded, which turns years of separate raises into a single history of what the community has backed.
CONTINUOUS REPO TRACKING
BCH-1 watches project repositories continuously and records new commits as they land.
BCH-1 REPORTS
Lists what was promised and tracks delivery item by item, with links to the sources. Scores, evaluations and deliverable details are recommendations that help donors and investors. Human review is still required at final report.
PROPOSALS
Anyone can submit a proposal to the core fund. Each one moves through a public pipeline from submission to to research stage to delivery milestones or bounties.
Each of these features gets its own post over the coming weeks.
WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY AT
A preliminary work group has already formed. Its members are testing the platform, reviewing the first proposals and giving feedback. BCH-1 is now ready for public feedback.
Each proposal that advances gets its own work group. The people best placed to deliver and review that work form around it, so expertise grows one proposal at a time.
THIS IS AN MVP, WE NEED FEEDBACK
BCH-1 is an MVP. Some data will have gaps and some reports will need correcting. Launching in public is how they get fixed. If something looks wrong or missing, tell us.
Post a wish, submit a proposal, send a correction or support the Core Fund.
Bitcoin Cash is ready to be seen. Live now at https://t.co/A7wWbquLk2, and we want your feedback.
🔥 #BCH meets #XMR, wtf?! Sent to one address, but a different address got the bitcoin-cash:native? Something is off here >> or is it just private? I think #Zcash just got serious competition. This tx is already post-quantum, verified on-chain. Let that sink in $ZEC.
@cculianu At least personal learning and work can progress with an AI helper.
People across the board stopped talking to me, even in the fringe groups. I must be insufferable in one way or another.
I can believe it, because numerous thing in rl and cyber space, are insufferable for me 2
@cculianu Allegedly, there's a cloning industry, and celebrities are being replaced all the time.
To name one example (of many), Alex Jones aka known as James Jones though I think clone Jones is cooler.
If you lay two profile picture next to each other from then and now, it's undeniable.
@Scavacini777 Lightning is such garbage.
Final settlements for micro txs on L1 is obviously possible (BCH) and it is the way.
BTC: Got a node? Now you need another node. Gtfoh.
LN shit really flurps when you compare Nostr with BCHNostr.
Most have custodial Lightning anyway, pathetic.
Want a fast, snappy, buttery smooth BCH powered Nostr client?
Try it here 👉 https://t.co/99E4pwes0e
Big shoutout to @Replyguy245375 for shipping this. It's not only fun and fast to use, it also fully supports @RiftenLabs Wizard Connect login.
No fuss, just instant vibes.
Uses $BCH natively for zaps instead of Lightning. Perfect way to drive real on-chain volume and let creators get paid peer-to-peer cash the way Satoshi intended 💰
Go check it out and send some of your favourite posters some sats in Bitcoin Cash
#BitcoinCash #Nostr #BCH #WizardConnect
I like to back new developments in Bitcoin Cash, and BCH Nostr is one of my favorite projects, so I decided to use this platform for a fundraising campaign to bring Bitcoin Cash back to universities in Venezuela.
Support the adoption of BCH in Venezuela.

The SYSTEM is CRACKING, and it *WILL* FALL.
It didn't start 24hrs ago.
It's not gonna get FIXED in 24hrs, but the CRACK IN THE WORLD is getting BIGGER.
KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING IS THE KEY TO BREAKING THE CYCLE & THE CHAINS‼️‼️‼️
#LAWANDORDER is one thing...
#FREEDOMTOLIVERIGHTFULLY is being RESTORED, but IT TAKES TIME.
Every day is another day closer to that ULTIMATE FREEDOM.
#STAYPOSITIVE
🇺🇸🤘��🤘🇺🇸
🗣️Remember…. Everything will be changing and our favor in the new era.. we are going to be receiving exactly what YAHUSHA / Jesus had intended from us from day one.
In regards to privacy, for me,
Monero is number 1
Bitcoin Cash is number 2 (CashFusion, shielded pools coming with ZKPs), potential to become number 1 in the future
ZCash is Zionist, "trusted setup" trash, bankers will pump it
Whitney Webb just said the quiet part out loud.
Flock cameras are only one part of a “constellation” of surveillance tech.
“They can really spy on you … now from space.”
“You can’t cut those down.”
“This is getting extremely dire.”
“The surveillance state has expanded so much.”
“Flock cameras are bad.”
“But they are one of a constellation … of companies.”
“They are private companies.”
“But they are totally in bed with the national security apparatus.”
And that national security apparatus is quickly moving into something worse than just surveillance.
They’re using surveillance tech to build an AI-powered “predictive” crime apparatus.
“That type of power is weaponized to curb and target dissent.”
“If you’re moving to a paradigm where you can target dissent before it happens, that’s terrible.”
“What we’re talking about here with the Merlin constellation and Satellogic and Palantir is literally what you’re worried about with Flock in space.”
Mark Goodwin: “In April 2022, the first Edge AI-enabled satellite in space was launched by Satellogic and Palantir with assistance from SpaceX.”
Webb: “This is about predictive stuff.”
“It’s about what an algorithm thinks you may do in the future.”
“Or, like, you were at this place where a crime happened … so the algorithm is like, people associated with this hotspot could also be criminals.”
“It’s totally insane.”

@FELibrary_ This is the end game.
The most important message nobody wants to hear.
I'm coming from experience, harping on this topic. Few care seemingly.
@LightngStorm@JOKAQARMY1@grok The nanoparticles are tracking technology at a bare minimum and,
the 'cloud, AI deal' is in all likelihood the infrastructure that receives and processes the data coming from said nanoparticles.
@Mt_GoX_@yourfriendSOMMI Bitcoin Cash is awesome btw.
The price action not so much rn, unless you're buying.
If people are honest and ask, which Bitcoin chain is the realest? It certainly is Bitcoin Cash.
CashTokens are the solid foundations that will outclass Ethereum in time. You just watch.
