Why does eCash have 2 whitepapers?

eCash builds on both Bitcoin’s foundation and Avalanche’s innovative protocol to create a highly scalable and feature-rich blockchain. Here’s why it merges both: 👇

Bitcoin Whitepaper (2008) 📜

The foundation of eCash, providing a decentralized, proof-of-work-based electronic cash system.

Avalanche Whitepaper (2018) ⚡️

Introduces Avalanche consensus, which eCash integrates for faster finality, better security, and on-chain governance.

Why Two Whitepapers?

eCash retains Bitcoin’s core design but enhances it with Avalanche's speed and flexibility:
✅ Instant finality and real-time tx processing
✅ Staking for economic security and incentives
✅ Future subnet capabilities and more

Structured Roadmap 🛣
eCash has a clear roadmap that ensures structured development, investor predictability, and alignment of long-term vision. It outlines key milestones that improve scalability, usability, and protocol extensibility without disruptive forks.

Future Upgrades on the Horizon: 🚀

🔹 Avalanche Pre-Consensus → Instant finality and real-time tx processing
🔹 EVM Subnet → Smart contracts & DeFi on eCash
🔹 UTXO Commitments → Blockchain pruning, faster initial sync

The Vision 🎯

eCash is evolving beyond Bitcoin while staying true to its mission: fast, reliable digital cash for everyone. 💸🌐
