ECX

eCash is a Bitcoin hard fork initiated by Bitcoin developer Paul Sztorc. The project aims to preserve Bitcoin's core architecture while introducing native support for Drivechains (BIP-300) and additional Layer 2 functionality.

The network is designed as a near-copy of Bitcoin Core, using the SHA-256 proof-of-work algorithm and maintaining compatibility with the existing Bitcoin software stack wherever practical. Bitcoin holders will be able to claim eCash on a 1:1 basis after the fork.

The project's objective is to provide an alternative Bitcoin-compatible network focused on experimentation with scalability, programmable sidechains, and protocol development while preserving the familiar Bitcoin user experience.

eCash is an open-source project. Development is led by Paul Sztorc, the creator of the Drivechain proposal, with source code, technical documentation, and development updates published publicly. The project seeks to enable innovation through optional Layer 2 networks while maintaining a simple and transparent Layer 1 protocol.
