BITCANN LAUNCHES DECENTRALIZED NAMING AND IDENTITY PROTOCOL ON BITCOIN CASH
The BitCANN Protocol is rolling out a decentralized naming and identity system on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain, letting users claim domains (like .bch or .sat) that double as payment handles, uncensorable social profiles, and even passwordless logins. With features like cross-chain payments via RPA paycodes and IPFS content resolution, BitCANN aims to be the “phonebook of Web3” — just don’t lose your NFT keys. Developers can peek at the GitHub repos ahead of its tentative July 2025 launch, though the team warns: “Audits are pending, so bid on that ‘definitelynotscam.bch’ domain at your own risk.” Join the chat on Telegram for updates.

BTC’S CIVIL WAR 3? BCH VETERANS JUST POP POPCORN
The latest episode of The Bitcoin Cash Podcast (#151) dissects the ongoing drama in BTC-land, where Bitcoin Mechanic battles spam transactions and a hijacked narrative. Hosts Jeremy and Jett explore why BTC’s identity crisis — jpeg storage vs. “monetary network” — mirrors BCH’s own history, complete with censorship, gaslighting, and chaotic upgrades. Key takeaways? The “issue is never the issue” (it’s the revolution), and BTC’s lack of a clear vision is biting back. Meanwhile, BCH keeps shipping annual upgrades through the CHIP process while BTC devs bicker with no clear road to consensus and core merge changes as they see fit.
FROM WAGYU TO WALLETS: HOW PAYTACA’S BCH APP IS WINNING OVER FILIPINO MERCHANTS
BCH focused company, Paytaca, is turbocharging real-world crypto adoption — one Tacloban taco at a time. The recent Masadya bazaar in the Philippines saw 16+ local merchants (from wagyu beef vendors to handmade jewelry makers) now accepting Bitcoin Cash via Paytaca’s self-custody wallet. Meanwhile, at TechUnity 2025, the team demoed their BCH vending machines and financial inclusion partnerships with DSWD Regional Office VIII. Paytaca also offers POS gateways, P2P exchanges, and a global merchant network, Paytaca’s betting that cheaper, faster, fairer commerce starts with ditching middlemen. Learn more at Paytaca.com
PARITYUSD’S $1 PEG SECRET? LETTING THE MARKET SET THE RULES
ParityUSD’s new blog post breaks down how their Bitcoin Cash-backed stablecoin maintains its $1 peg through a clever redemption mechanism — anyone can swap 1 PUSD for $1 worth of BCH at any time, creating instant arbitrage if the price dips. The system uses market-driven interest rates (where borrowers compete to avoid redemptions) and a Stability Pool that liquidates risky loans while rewarding stakers with yield, all powered by BCH’s low fees and decentralization. Unlike algorithmic or governance-heavy stablecoins, ParityUSD’s design is self-correcting: redemptions tighten supply, interest rates balance borrowing, and stakers act as the system’s safety net. Learn how it works in their latest deep dive: ParityUSD Stability Mechanism. Follow them on Twitter or join their Telegram to discuss.
LESSONS FROM GP SPACES: HOW BITCOIN CASH GROWS STRONGER THROUGH OPEN DEBATE
The latest General Protocols discussion (watch here) tackled one of BCH’s thorniest questions: How much should Bitcoin Cash prioritize compatibility with other chains? Hosts and guests (including developers from BCH Bull, XO Stack, and ParityUSD) explored tradeoffs — from mining hardware constraints to wallet standards — while unpacking war stories. Some breaks are necessary, but others (like Cash Connect’s wallet innovations) push BCH forward without fracturing the ecosystem. For builders, the verdict seems clear: Balance pragmatism with boldness — because in crypto, evolution isn’t optional.
