Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHA) is a specific implementation of Bitcoin Cash (BCH). It emerged as a result of a hard fork in the Bitcoin Cash network that occurred in November 2020, leading to a division within the Bitcoin Cash community.
The Bitcoin Cash ABC fork was the result of differing opinions within the community regarding changes to network protocols and rules. Supporters of Bitcoin Cash ABC advocated maintaining the original protocol to remain compatible with Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Bitcoin Cash ABC aims to provide faster and cheaper transactions by implementing a series of optimizations and protocol upgrades, enabling peer-to-peer digital cash transactions on a global scale.
