BCH’S NEW GYM FRIEND: PAYTACA LAUNCHES LIFT TOKEN TO PUMP UP ADOPTION

BCH wallet and POS pioneer Paytaca has unveiled its LIFT token, a community-driven effort to “lift” Bitcoin Cash adoption — literally. Inspired by the Filipino tradition of Bayanihan (where villagers carry houses together), the token rewards users for pushing BCH forward with perks like fee discounts and app features. The 1-billion-token supply includes allocations for early backers, community incentives, and a reserve fund, with whitelisting now open for seed, private, and public sale rounds.

Developer Andrew#128 is crowdfunding 25 BCH ($10k) on FundMe.Cash to build CashScript-Py — a Python SDK that would bring BCH smart contract capabilities to one of the world’s most popular programming languages. The tool aims to enable server-side applications like automated DeFi bots and Electron Cash plugins, filling a gap left by the existing TypeScript-focused CashScript SDK. The project has already raised ~16% of its goal, offering Python devs a smoother path to working with AnyHedge, Cauldron, and other BCH contract systems.

Dreyzehner noted existing implementations for some proposals are already in testing, urging community feedback.
