eCash is a cryptocurrency that’s designed to be used as electronic cash. Just like the invention of emails made it possible to send direct messages online,{' '} eCash makes it possible to send money directly to other people online. This includes being able to use{' '} eCash to pay for goods and services.
), }, { question: 'How do I get eCash?', answer: (Since eCash transactions go directly between you and whoever you’re paying or getting paid by, you don’t need a bank account to own it. Instead, you just need an electronic wallet. Once you have a wallet, you can get{' '} eCash by buying it on a cryptocurrency exchange and then sending it to your wallet. Other people can also send{' '} eCash to your wallet.
), }, { question: 'What can I use eCash for?', answer: (You can use eCash to send and receive payments without the need for a bank account. It’s available in every country, and you can use it to send and receive cross-border payments anywhere in the world.

eCash price information is available at all leading crypto
research sources, like{' '}
eCash has the same fixed supply as bitcoin. The
default base unit of eCash has 2 decimal places
(100 satoshis). The default base unit of bitcoin (BTC) has 8
decimal places (100,000,000 satoshis).
90% of all the eCash that will ever exist has
already been mined. The inflation rate for{' '}
eCash is already low (less than 2% as of 2021),
and will decrease to zero.
No. We think XEC is valuable, and therefore we will not burn
any.
It is also important to realize that eCash is different from
other new tokens where the founding teams often hold a large
proportion of the total supply. In those other coins, the large
amount of coins that the team holds is still waiting to be
released into the market, causing future inflation. XEC, on the
other hand, is already about{' '}
XEC is not an ERC-20 token, it is its own blockchain similar to
Bitcoin (BTC).
There is a "Wrapped XEC" token available on the
Binance Smart Chain, with{' '}

eCash (XEC) uses a base unit of 100 satoshis, which makes it easy to send small payments because you no longer have to handle unwieldy decimal places. For instance, instead of sending 0.00001000 bitcoins (which was the base unit used by BCHA), you’ll simply send 10 XEC!
), }, { question: 'How do I protect myself from scammers?', answer: (
The exponential growth in crypto has unfortunately led to
similar growth in scams. Here are some common ones to watch out
for.
Email Phishing
Some scammers will send you an email impersonating a member of
an official team and ask for money, a 12-word wallet seed, or a
private key. Official team members will never send you an
unsolicited email. For tech support, we will never ask for your
wallet seed or private key. Never share your private key or your
wallet seed with anyone.
URL Phishing
Scammers may send you a link to a website that looks like an
official crypto website but does not have the same URL. You may
think you are sending funds to your own wallet, for example, but
are in fact sending them to a cloned page that is not your
wallet. Always make sure the URL in your browser URL bar is
correct. Always confirm a scanned QR code address matches what
you expected.
Fake wallets
Always verify the SHA256 hash when you are downloading an
official cryptocurrency wallet.
No, eCash is its own blockchain.
It is important to differentiate the Avalanche protocol, from
the cyptocurrency project known as “Avalanche” or
“AVAX”.
eCash's Avalanche implementation is
completely separate and distinct from the Avalanche (AVAX)
project. They have no connection, other than both using the
protocol described in the{' '}
On November 15, 2020, the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) blockchain split into two chains. One of those chains was called BCHA for a time. This chain was what eventually became eCash.
), }, { question: "What's the difference between eCash and Bitcoin ABC?", answer: (
eCash is a cryptocurrency, whereas Bitcoin ABC
is the software businesses use to interact with and maintain the{' '}
eCash network. The team behind the Bitcoin ABC
software also operates under the same name.
You can learn more about Bitcoin ABC at{' '}
eCash was briefly known as Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHA). The eCash branding came into effect on July 1, 2021. Exchanges are strongly encouraged to update their older listings accordingly. You may still see{' '} eCash listed as BCHA on some exchanges if they haven't yet made the switch.
), }, { question: 'I have coins on the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) network. How do I retrieve my eCash?', answer: (
If you have Bitcoin Cash from before November 15th 2020, it is
possible that you also have corresponding eCash (XEC). This is
because eCash and Bitcoin Cash share a common history, and
became separate currencies via a blockchain split. You can split
the coins and retrieve your eCash by following the instructions
