Where Bitcoin adopted SegWit, the Bitcoin Cash side chose to raise the block size limit instead, aiming for cheap, everyday on-chain payments at low fees. It kept the same SHA-256 proof-of-work as Bitcoin and lifted the block cap to 8MB, then 32MB, giving each block far more transaction capacity. The 2023 CashTokens upgrade added native tokens and NFTs directly on the chain, and merchants such as Newegg and Namecheap accept BCH through payment processor BitPay.
