Not a sales pitch. A workbench.
In 2020 the Bitcoin Cash community funded this site in five hours. We still show our work. BCH Works explains how Bitcoin Cash works, what it's good at and where it falls short. Then it helps you try it yourself.

Who paid. What it bought.
Read it like a Bitcoin Cash transaction. Our funders are the inputs. What their money became is the outputs.

Four rules we don't fork.
Every page on this site follows them. Here is what each one looks like in a sentence. Tell us when a page breaks one.
- rule_01 data_first
Show the number.
Fees, block sizes and upgrade dates. We show you the number, not an adjective.
- We write
- “A test transaction costs about $0.001.”
- We don't
- “Near-zero fees, lightning fast!”
- rule_02 limits
Say what's weak.
BCH has a small ecosystem, thin liquidity, 10-minute blocks and no default privacy. We say so, next to the good parts.
- We write
- “Payments show up in seconds. Final settlement takes about 10 minutes.”
- We don't
- “Instant, final payments.”
- rule_03 hands_on
Let you try it.
We point you at things you can try yourself, not things to take on faith.
- We write
- “Send yourself a few cents and watch it arrive.”
- We don't
- “Trust us, it works.”
- rule_04 no_price
No price talk.
We don't predict prices or promise returns. This site is about what BCH does.
- We write
- “BCH is volatile. Hold only what you can afford to lose.”
- We don't
- “BCH to $10k by the next halving.”
Where BCH falls short.
The weak spots, in one place. Why Bitcoin Cash covers the strong ones.
| Limit | In short | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Settlement | ~10 min per block | Payments appear in seconds. For a large sale, wait for a block before you hand over the goods. |
| Liquidity | thin | Fewer exchanges and order books than BTC or stablecoins. Big trades move the price, so check the spread first. |
| Privacy | public by default | Anyone can read an address's history. Use a fresh address for each payment you receive. |
| Ecosystem | small | Fewer wallets, merchants and developers than larger chains. Ask a shop before you pay with it. |
