eCash (XEC) aims to deliver scaling solutions and introduce features like staking and subchains while maintaining the core technology of Bitcoin. XEC tokens are used for minting custom tokens, paying transaction fees, and participating in governance. eCash has protocol upgrades twice a year, and it was rebranded from Bitcoin Cash ABC to eCash in July 2021.

eCash (XEC) is a cryptocurrency built by the experienced team of developers who founded Bitcoin Cash. It is a fork of Bitcoin, but with a more aggressive technical roadmap. eCash aims to deliver on key blockchain scaling promises, introduce features never seen before in a Bitcoin project, such as staking, fork-free network upgrades, and subchains, while also maintaining the core technology behind Bitcoin's success, including the same fixed supply, halving schedule, and genesis block.

eCash (XEC) was created by an experienced team of developers, led by Amaury Sechet, who initially founded Bitcoin Cash. On July 1, 2021, Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHA) was rebranded to eCash (XEC). This rebranding was not a token swap, and there were no changes to the blockchain. Rather, it simply changed how things are displayed to users in wallets and exchanges. For example, the primary unit is now bits (2 decimal places) instead of BCHA (8 decimal places), and the conversion is 1 BCHA = 1,000,000 XEC.
