Ecosystem intelligence
BCH-1 tracks funding and development activity across the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem. Stakeholders see where funding went and what it produced. Quarterly reports turn the data into a clear account of ecosystem health.
ABOUT BCH-1
Useful work. Voluntary support.
BCH-1 shows stakeholders where Bitcoin Cash funding goes and brings Bitcoin Cash to people outside the existing community.
Outreach and business development
BCH-1 works to bring companies and investors to Bitcoin Cash. That means building partnerships and giving new capital a clear way in.
CURRENT GOALS · Q4 2026
Goals are set each quarter.
Goals are set by the Core Team and reviewed every quarter. Each review is published with the results and the reasons behind any change. Until the Core Team forms in Phase 2, goals are set by the public lead on the same quarterly schedule.

OUR POSITION
BCH-1 takes no side in consensus.
BCH-1 exists to advance Bitcoin Cash technology and grow its reach. It holds no position on protocol changes and does not take part in consensus decisions.
Members of BCH-1 are stakeholders in their own right. They can state personal views and support CHIP proposals in their own name. Those views belong to them. BCH-1 does not adopt them.
BCH-1 funds work on Bitcoin Cash as it exists today. Research it supports is published openly and makes no protocol recommendation.
BCH-1 supports companies and projects when their work advances Bitcoin Cash adoption. The same criteria apply to everyone.
The Core Team sets BCH-1's goals each quarter based on what it judges will move Bitcoin Cash forward. The goals and their results are published.
HOW THE WORK IS ORGANIZED
Accountability through results.
slowsynapse is the public lead. The Core Team is invitation-only and is formed in Phase 2.
Setup and operations are funded separately. The Core Fund pays for public goods delivered by others, deployed when the Core Team judges the timing right. It is not a salary. When no proposal meets the bar, the fund holds and the quarterly report says so.
FundMe continues to fund independent projects. BCH-1 can review campaigns, recommend strong ones and fund projects directly through recorded decisions. Support does not confer control.

THE OPERATING PRECEDENT
Monero proved this works.
Monero has funded development for over a decade through voluntary donations, with no dev tax and no token. Its Core Team stewards a small General Fund and lets the community fund proposals directly. BCH-1 adapts that model for Bitcoin Cash. The scope and structure are its own.
