eCash is a Layer 1 digital-cash network developed by Bitcoin ABC. The supplied profile describes it as combining a Bitcoin-style proof-of-work base with Avalanche consensus, a combination intended to distinguish it from earlier Bitcoin-related networks and other Bitcoin clients. The stated design goals include quicker transaction finality, staking rewards, subnet capability, and protocol governance that can support ongoing development. Its roadmap also refers to higher throughput, faster payments, and upgrades that avoid conventional chain forks. XEC is the network’s native asset, though the available description does not explain its issuance schedule, transaction-fee role, staking economics, or governance mechanics in detail. eCash is categorized as a Bitcoin fork, Layer 1, and proof-of-work network. Its defining feature in the supplied material is the attempt to combine Bitcoin-derived foundations with Avalanche-based consensus and flexible protocol development.
