The Bitcoin Cash (BCH) ecosystem is thriving with groundbreaking updates, from technological migrations to real-world adoption. Here’s a deep dive into the latest advancements shaping BCH’s future.
Counterparty Protocol Migrates to BCH Blockchain
What is Counterparty?
Counterparty is a Bitcoin-based protocol enabling decentralized financial applications like asset issuance and peer-to-peer trading. It operates by embedding metadata in small Bitcoin transactions ("burning" BTC to create XCP tokens).
Why BCH?
With Bitcoin Cash’s low fees and fast confirmations, Counterparty’s migration unlocks new possibilities. The BCH-compatible version, Counterparty.cash (XCPC), will facilitate:
- Asset name registrations
- Decentralized exchange (DEX) functionality
- Community-governed tokenomics
Launch Date: March 1, 2018
