"Sztorc confirmed the split will be 1:1, noting that a holder with 4.19 BTC will receive 4.19 eCash. Holders can sell, keep, or ignore the new coins entirely."
"The project describes itself as a permanent fix to Bitcoin's scalability and governance problems, not a stopgap measure. Sztorc's eCash is set to drop in 118 days."
"The development team plans to change seed nodes, the network name, and the network magic while continuing to merge changes from Bitcoin Core going forward."
"The fork will replay all transactions at the time of the split, and the team will release a coin-splitter tool. Sztorc wrote that users are receiving four months of advance notice."
eCash, a new Bitcoin hard fork, is set to launch in August 2026 with a 1:1 coin split for holders. The project aims to address Bitcoin's scalability and governance issues through BIP300 and BIP301 Drivechains. A 30-day code freeze will occur before the fork, with bug bounty contests planned for summer 2025. The eCash network will be a near-copy of Bitcoin Core, utilizing SHA-256d mining. The fork will replay all transactions at the time of the split, and a coin-splitter tool will be provided for users.
