About eCash

eCash (XEC) is a cryptocurrency that evolved from Bitcoin ABC — itself a fork of Bitcoin Cash — focused on becoming a global electronic cash system. Rebranded from BCHA to XEC in 2021, eCash uses a denomination of 1 million XEC = 1 pre-split BCH, making individual coin prices low for psychological accessibility. eCash implements Avalanche pre-consensus (separate from the Avalanche blockchain) alongside its PoW chain to achieve near-instant transaction finality. The project is led by Amaury Séchet, original lead developer of Bitcoin Cash, who aims to make eCash the best electronic cash system.
