Community Projects

Large-block scaling sidechain. The most actively merge-mined chain on the test networks.

Identity and DNS sidechain in the Namecoin tradition. Register a name once and use it as a login, a domain and an encrypted messaging address.

Tokens, NFTs and stablecoins. Its licence is currently All Rights Reserved, which has blocked some community development.

Prediction markets, based on Paul Sztorc's Truthcoin paper. Not expected to be ready at mainnet launch.

Zcash-style shielded privacy, built on the Orchard crate by an outside contributor rather than LayerTwo Labs.

Quantum-resistant sidechain.

Cross-coin atomic swaps.

Blockstream's Elements platform ported to a drivechain, with OP_CAT, exotic signature schemes and CTV. Confidential transactions are enabled. Built by a community developer.

A Solana sidechain pegged to ECX at 1 SOL per bECX, with 400ms blocks. SPL Token and Raydium run on it at their real Solana addresses.

Community-built sidechain. Reverted from Rust to MIT-licensed C++ after a licence conflict, and is adding reproducible GUIX builds with GitHub attestation.

Avalanche EVM subnet adapted as a drivechain, using BTC as the native gas token.

A slot active on the test networks with no published repository or announcement. Purpose unknown.

A proposed merged-mining booster that would let sidechains produce fast blocks without changing the base layer. Design stage.

The main desktop application. Runs Bitcoin Core, the BIP 300/301 enforcer and each sidechain together in one interface.

The Electrum wallet for ECX. Not the same project as Electrum ABC, which is for the unrelated XEC coin.

Android wallet on Google Play. Version 0.2.2 does not yet recognise sidechain deposit addresses.

Browser extension wallet for the Elements+ sidechain.

Mining pool with on-chain governance: miners vote on whether the pool approves sidechain proposals, and the result sets the pool's actual stance. Also publishes community seed nodes for several sidechains.

Mining pool with enforcer-validated voting on drivechain proposals and withdrawal bundles.

Mining pool. Had an enforcer bug producing empty blocks early in the beta, which the operator acknowledged publicly and fixed.

Official dashboard showing market data for eCash and related coins.

Official news hub. Has gone long periods without updates despite being labelled as daily.

Live status for every sidechain slot: activation progress, merged-mined blocks and open bids.

Esplora block explorer for the Elements+ sidechain.

Run by the project. Wraps and unwraps beta ECX for a wrapped token tradeable on Solana, with a 1% fee. Beta coins only, and it stops before mainnet.

Community bridge that lets you buy wrapped beta ECX by card inside Telegram. The operator holds the backing coins, so you are trusting them completely. Publishes a proof-of-reserves page.

Community faucet for practice coins, plus bridge tooling.

Community-run decentralised exchange for wrapped eCash.

Official binaries for the eCash L1 node and the BIP 300/301 enforcer.

Technical reference for BIP 300 and BIP 301, maintained alongside the specifications.

The project's integration guide: sidechain slot registry, port conventions and proposal mechanics.

Community tool for analysing how Bitcoin transactions replay onto the eCash chain.

An AssumeUTXO snapshot at block 967,000 that cuts initial sync to about an hour. Independently verified against a full sync from genesis.

A small JSON-RPC server for publishing the data a BitName commitment points to.
