eCash Day 2024 - Celebrating Three Years of eCash (XEC)
๐ Happy eCash Day! ๐ Today we celebrate three amazing years since the eCash rebranding! ๐ฅณJoin us as we reflect on the incredible milestones and achievements we've made since the last eCash Day! ๐๐ผ ๐ Staking Rewards Went Live ๐
๐น On November 15th, 2023, we marked a pivotal moment in the eCash journey with the successful launch of Staking Rewards for Avalanche enabled nodes! This novel approach has set eCash apart as a leading Bitcoin fork that includes staking rewards, a completely permissionless feature that has significantly boosted the networkโs security and efficiency. In this period, the overall staked amount has skyrocketed from 69.4 billion XEC to an impressive 242 billion XEC, making it even harder for malicious actors to attack the network. In fact, the cost of attempting a double-spend on eCash now surpasses that of BTC. The number of nodes has also surged from 33 to 94, and the Avalanche Peers have increased from 19 to 73, and we are just getting started! ๐ฅ โน๏ธ Learn more about XEC staking and requirements โก๏ธ https://e.cash/staking ๐จ๐ปโ๐ป IFP as Miner Policy ๐น The infrastructure funding protocol has been turned into a miner policy. This means funding addresses can be changed in minor releases, and the new rule will be applied as soon as enough nodes upgrade to the new addresses, constituting a decentralized and independent self-funding mechanism subject to market forces. โ๏ธ CashFusion Launched ๐
๐น We launched CashFusion (Opt-in Privacy) with stable liquidity marking a significant milestone in the eCash Usability Roadmap. โ โน๏ธ Learn more: https://e.cash/blog/opt-in-privacy-a-cash-fusion-guide-for-ecash ๐ Chronik Indexer Launched ๐
๐น With the release of Bitcoin ABC v0.29.0, the integration of the Chronik Indexer with the eCash node software was fully completed, marking a major achievement! ๐ฅ With the integrated Chronik indexer, eCash provides a robust indexing tool that is super fast, scalable, and secure. Developers can create their apps with ease, without having to deal with the usual limitations of third-party indexing software. โคต๏ธ Learn more: https://twitter.com/eCashOfficial/status/1775923219616174105 ๐ Block Reward Halving Completed โ ๐น The eCash network has completed its first-ever block reward halving!
