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. FundMe.cash 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 FundMe.cash. 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 bch-1.org, and we want your feedback.

The BCH-1 Hackcelerator 2026 is complete. In November we opened applications. In March we announced the winners. Then came the part most programs skip: we kept working. THE PROGRAM IN NUMBERS 255 builders registered. 209 hackers competed. 53 projects entered Phase 2. A community Flipstarter doubled the prize pool to $40,000 mid-sprint. Those are the program numbers. They were never the story. THE COHORT 53 projects entered the Phase 2 sprint. The roster, as we introduced them in February: @CashMintLabs · @FundTokens_Cash · GSM Cash · @OPTNLabs · @nexopsbch · @coingraze · Farmer's Dream · CashLabs · @flowguard_ · PayOnce · AuraTrades · CashDropKit · RoastMyBag · Bastian's Confidential Assets · BCHubKey · @rabbitexp_bch · BAZAAR · BCH Ghost · CashAgent · TrustBCH · TripFi · Agent X402 · InvoiceFlow · sendX · Shardium (Dead Hand Protocol) · VChess · SecureVote · TicketScan · ChainKit SDK · dance.cash · @bchintents and more A few of these like dance.cash were mature projects before BCH-1, so credit is not all claimed here. One winner auditing another, half a dozen live products, and a longer tail still building. That's a cohort. AFTER THE PRIZES Most hackathons end at demo day. We treated March 6 as a midpoint. For the six months since, BCH-1 ran continuous post-hackcelerator support: guidance calls, contract review connections, alumni spotlights, introductions, month after month. The goal was never a demo video. It was shippable, investable projects. The teams met the moment. NexOps, our overall winner, audited the contracts of CashMint, our runner-up became the flagship NFT marketplace on Bitcoin Cash, before launching AI agents launched. @BCHMinty graduated its bonding curve in four hours and climbed to a top-ten Cauldron ranking. BCH Intents shipped order types and an SDK. FlowGuard went live streaming payments with a real stablecoin. OPTN shipped a covenant wallet on Google Play and an x402 payments package on npm. Fun(d) Tokens deployed its first on-chain basket. Alumni auditing alumni. Alumni launching tokens. Alumni building through a flat summer. WHAT COMES NEXT The Hackcelerator chapter is closed. The relationships are not. For the next hackathon on Bitcoin Cash, check out @bchblaze . They will continue to bring more projects onboard Bitcoin Cash this year. Bitcoin Cash is just getting started. Our work with these teams continues into the next phase of BCH-1. The evolution is coming. bitcoin-cash:native
