Jedex: Decentralized Exchanges on Bitcoin Cash

Jedex: Decentralized Exchanges on Bitcoin Cash

Jedex is a technical demonstration of a massively-parallel, non-custodial, censorship-resistant decentralized exchange (DEX) built directly on Bitcoin Cash using CashTokens.

Bitcoin Cash Upgrade 2022 Livestream

Bitcoin Cash Upgrade 2022 Livestream

I joined the Bitcoin Cash Upgrade 2022 Livestream hosted by Satoshi's Angels to answer questions and discuss new use cases made possible by the upgrade.

CashTokens: Token Primitives for Bitcoin Cash

CashTokens: Token Primitives for Bitcoin Cash

CashTokens enable decentralized applications comparable to Ethereum contract functionality, while retaining Bitcoin Cash's >1000x efficiency advantage in transaction and block validation.

BCH Network Discussion: Introspection

BCH Network Discussion: Introspection

I joined the September 2021 Bitcoin Cash Network Discussion about introspection opcodes. These opcodes enable far more secure wallets, efficient recurring payments, and more.

CHIP: Ranged Script Numbers

CHIP: Ranged Script Numbers

The Ranged Script Number (RSN) format is derived from the existing Script Number format used within the BCH VM, but it includes a prefix which allows RSN values to be safely parsed from serialized transaction messages.

CHIP Revised: Bigger Script Integers

CHIP Revised: Bigger Script Integers

A new revision to the Bigger Script Integers CHIP has been published. This revision adds a full technical specification and an extensive Rationale section documenting design decisions made in the specification.

CHIP Revised: Native Introspection Operations

CHIP Revised: Native Introspection Operations

A new revision to the Native Introspection Operations CHIP has been published. This revision clarifies several technical details and adds an extensive Rationale section documenting design decisions made in the specification.

BCH Network Discussion: PMv3

BCH Network Discussion: PMv3

I presented PMv3 in the June 2021 BCH Network Discussion panel. We described several PMv3 use cases, possible alternatives, implementation costs, and implications for future BCH development.

CHIP: Bounded Looping Operations

CHIP: Bounded Looping Operations

Two new BCH opcodes, OP_BEGIN and OP_UNTIL, would enable loops in BCH contracts without increasing processing or memory requirements.

CHIP: Targeted Virtual Machine Limits

CHIP: Targeted Virtual Machine Limits

By fixing poorly-targeted limits, we can make Bitcoin Cash contracts more powerful (without increasing validation costs).

Video: Prediction Markets on Bitcoin Cash

Video: Prediction Markets on Bitcoin Cash

I spoke with George Donnelly about hashed witnesses, PMv3, CashTokens, prediction markets, synthetic assets, decentralized exchanges, BCH scaling considerations, comparisons with ETH, and more.

RFC: OP_PUSHSTATE Draft Spec

RFC: OP_PUSHSTATE Draft Spec

This is a request for comments on a draft specification for a new Bitcoin Cash opcode, OP_PUSHSTATE, which is now available on GitHub…

CashChannels: Recurring Payments for Bitcoin Cash

CashChannels: Recurring Payments for Bitcoin Cash

CashChannels let users pre-approve future transactions, valued in any currency, to another person or company.
