Discussion

An archive of past and future ideas for Bitcoin Cash ongoing at Bitcoin Cash Research (BCR). Collaborating participants have recorded their thoughts and concerns about various potential ideas & implemented improvements.

CHIP Process

Protocol changes, software standards and application specifications may be proposed by anyone. The recommended process for consensus building and conflict reduction is known as the Cash Improvement Proposal (CHIP) Process.

Previous consensus changes, May 2023:

Anyone may propose an improvement to Bitcoin Cash, but the responsibility is on the CHIP owner to see the idea through to fruition and build consensus.
