the airdrop

at block ~973,728 (mainnet, on or around 31st October 2026), every bitcoin address is credited with permanent $ECX, one for one. alpha and beta are separate rehearsals; mainnet starts from a fresh bitcoin snapshot. no claim, no form, no snapshot registration. wallet access and replay protection still matter.

your BTC is untouched. eCash is a new chain that starts from bitcoin's ledger, and adds what bitcoin can't. what to expect → Read about accessing ECX and coin splitting.

bitcoin has
ossified

no meaningful upgrade has shipped since taproot in 2021. every proposal dies in review. that's good for stability, and fatal for progress.

eCash forks bitcoin to ship drivechains: opt-in sidechains for privacy, scale and experimentation, without touching the main chain's rules. why hardfork →
