Simply Explained: eCash (XEC)
ECash (XEC), formerly known as Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHA), is a fork of Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). The rebrand from BCHA to XEC occurred in July 2021, and eCash has continually looked to distinguish itself from its predecessors. A key change XEC stressed was a change in the denomination of its currency. Although the tokenomics reflect the same supply and total decimal points as BTC and BCH, XEC removed the decimals to make its supply easier to understand.
The base units of eCash are called “bits” and replace the tedious decimal places of other cryptocurrencies. Instead of sending 0.00001 BTC, you send 10 bits. This makes things a lot more accessible for people entering from a traditional background. The transition to base units might appear small but it was a big part of the rebranding as the flushing team believed the removal of decimals would greatly impact adoption.
“No other money has eight decimal places. Why should crypto?” - Amaury Sechet
Upon the rebranding, eCash announced it would convert all BCHA coins to XEC at a ratio of one to one million.
The three main objectives of the cryptocurrency are;
- Scaling transaction throughput
- Reducing time to finality
- Allow for upgrades without the need for forking
What Makes eCash Unique?
eCash (XEC) is designed with the intention of offering Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatibility and being interoperable with the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector on Ethereum (ETH). EVM compatability is a huge step in the right direction toward making XEC more widely adopted.Some key objectives targeted by eCash
- Allow for anonymous transactions
- Ensure the authenticity of transactions
- Keep transaction costs affordable to nil
- Offer fast finality times for real-world usage
Who are the Founders of eCash?
ECash is currently led by Amaury Sechet- a software engineer at Facebook, former lead developer of Bitcoin Cash, and the man who forked that blockchain to establish the BCHA blockchain (the predecessor of eCash).What are the Tokenomics of XEC?
Like many of the other Bitcoin clones and forks out there, eCash shares many of the same tokenomics as Bitcoin.ECash has the same supply cap as Bitcoin: 2.1 quadrillion satoshis. However, instead of those 2.1 quadrillion satoshis being divided by 100 million to end up with 21 million BTC, they were divided by 100, leaving a total supply of 21 Trillion.
As a note, XEC is not an ERC-20 token. It is its own blockchain, similar to Bitcoin (BTC). However, ECash is looking to be EVM-compatible, meaning compatible with the Ethereum network.
How Is the eCash Network Secured?
The developers of eCash plan to add proof-of-stake (PoS) to speed up transactions and make the blockchain more scalable. This would help with transaction throughout, and time-to-finality. The aforementioned Avalanche consensus would mean fork-free upgrades are also possible. The Avalanche layer is set to be added on top of the existing PoW in order to leverage the benefits of both.Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL OR INVESTMENT ADVICE.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
