About Bitcoin Cash

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a cryptocurrency created in 2017 as a Bitcoin fork designed to enable fast, low-cost peer-to-peer payments. Bitcoin Cash increases the blockchain's block size limit from 1MB to 32MB, allowing significantly more transactions per second than Bitcoin. This design choice prioritizes transaction throughput and practical usability for everyday payments over store-of-value properties. Bitcoin Cash has strong merchant adoption, particularly in regions with underdeveloped banking infrastructure. The BCH ecosystem includes the CashToken protocol for native token issuance and smart contract capabilities. BCH continues to be popular among users seeking Bitcoin's original vision of digital cash for peer-to-peer transactions.

How to Swap BCH

Swapping Bitcoin Cash (BCH) on SyntheticSwap requires no registration or KYC. BCH runs on its own blockchain, supported by dedicated wallets. Open SyntheticSwap, select BCH as source or destination, enter your receiving wallet address, and confirm the floating rate. Send BCH from your personal wallet to the deposit address shown — once your transaction is confirmed on the network, the destination asset is automatically delivered to your specified wallet. Fully non-custodial.

How to Store BCH

Bitcoin Cash is stored in BCH-compatible wallets. Ledger hardware wallets offer maximum security, while Electron Cash and Bitcoin.com Wallet provide desktop/mobile options. All BCH wallets require a seed phrase backup — store offline and never share. Remember that BCH on centralized exchanges is custodial; move significant amounts to your own wallet for security.
