BCH AND XMR ATOMIC SWAPS GET AN AXE-CELLENT UPGRADE WITH AXESWAP.NET
The decentralized exchange AXESwap has officially launched, offering trustless atomic swaps between Monero (XMR) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) without intermediaries. Built by developer Mainnet Pat with support from the BCH and XMR communities, the web-based tool uses peer-to-peer messaging and cryptographic proofs to enable secure, private trades. The project aims to expand to other cross-chain swaps like BCH-BTC and BCH-DOGE in the future. With XMR facing delistings on major exchanges, AXESwap could become a handy on-ramp for privacy-minded traders. Documentation and roadmap details are available on the AXESwap site.
PROSTATE CANCER STUDY CUTS THROUGH PAYWALLS WITH BITCOIN CASH
A new prostate cancer clinical study from Zambia, peer-reviewed across three continents, has gone open-access thanks to the crowdfunded with Bitcoin Cash, JOGS model. Published in the Journal of Global Surgery (ONE), the research was unlocked after readers chipped in micropayments as low as $0.10 — proving that even niche medical knowledge can bypass traditional paywalls. The journal uses a “pay-to-unlock” system where articles become free under a CC BY 4.0 license once costs are covered. Payment options include BCH, PayPal, and credit cards, ensuring global accessibility.
KNUTH JS-WASM PACKS BITCOIN CASH POWER INTO YOUR BROWSER

UNSTOPPABLE DOMAINS NOW OFFERS .BCH ADDRESSES
Bitcoin Cash now has its own naming option in the Unstoppable Domains ecosystem with the launch of .BCH addresses. Like other Web3 domains (.crypto, .x), these human-readable names aim to simplify crypto payments and identities — though their full integration with Bitcoin Cash wallets and apps will depend on future support from the BCH ecosystem. For early adopters, .BCH domains offer a way to claim a persistent Web3 identity while showing support for Bitcoin Cash. They can already be used where Unstoppable’s system is supported (like IPFS websites or select dApps), with potential for broader BCH utility down the road.
