What is eCash?
eCash (XEC) is the rebranded form of Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHA), which split from Bitcoin Cash (BCH) in November 2020. The project took the eCash name in July 2021, carrying a plan to build electronic cash that is quick, dependable, and easy for anyone to use. It keeps the proven Bitcoin codebase while adding changes aimed at everyday usability and scale.
As a layer-1 blockchain, eCash settles peer-to-peer payments directly between users without a middleman. It folds in Avalanche consensus alongside its original proof-of-work design, which brings faster transaction finality and stronger resistance to attacks. Low transaction costs and high throughput mean it is shaped for real payments, from small micropayments through to larger transfers.
XEC also uses smaller, more practical denominations than its predecessor, so the units suit day-to-day spending. Holders use XEC to send payments across the network and take part in how the protocol runs.

FAQ
Buying eCash: FAQs
What is the smallest amount of eCash I can buy?
Begin small if you want. There is no need for a whole unit of XEC, so a modest amount of AUD gets you started. Buy as little or as much eCash as fits your plans and top up whenever you like.
How quickly can I buy eCash after I join?
Minutes for most people. With the account made and the quick ID check done, a PayID deposit in AUD usually lands in under a minute, and you can then buy XEC at the live price on this page.
Can I sell my eCash back to AUD later?
Yes. Any time you want out, change your XEC back into AUD on Digital Surge and withdraw the Australian dollars to your linked bank. There is no fixed term, so hold your eCash as briefly or as long as you like.
What makes eCash different from Bitcoin Cash?
eCash grew out of Bitcoin Cash ABC and added several changes, chief among them Avalanche consensus for faster finality, smaller everyday denominations, and improvements aimed at scale. The goal is a network better suited to routine digital payments rather than a straight copy of Bitcoin Cash.
How does the Avalanche consensus in eCash work?
eCash runs Avalanche consensus alongside its proof-of-work layer. The pairing gives quicker confirmation of transactions and adds resistance to attacks, so payments settle faster while the network keeps the security of its underlying blockchain design. It is part of what shapes eCash for everyday use.
