Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that originated as a hard fork of the original Bitcoin network on 1 August 2017. It was created through a community-activated protocol upgrade designed to address on-chain scaling limitations in Bitcoin Core, principally by increasing the block size limit from 1MB to 8MB. This larger block capacity allows the network to process a significantly higher number of transactions per block, resulting in faster confirmation times and lower transaction fees compared to the chain it forked from. The project positions itself as preserving the monetary qualities envisioned in the original Bitcoin software. Rather than implementing changes through soft forks such as Segregated Witness, Bitcoin Cash carries out protocol upgrades primarily through hard forks, while keeping the original issuance schedule and economic rules of Bitcoin intact. It operates as a Layer 1 blockchain secured by a Proof of Work consensus mechanism and is classified among the major Bitcoin forks. In November 2018, a hash war within the BCH community led to a further split, producing the separate Bitcoin SV network alongside what continued as Bitcoin ABC.
