      <title>Defi Warhol: eCash Fork Snapshot Lands Right at a Difficulty-Cycle Boundary</title>
      <link>https://x.com/Defi_Warhol/status/2079895990744858730?s=20</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="false">https://news.ecash.com/#defi-warhol-ecash-fork-difficulty-cycle-boundary</guid>
      <pubDate>Wed, 22 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Defi Warhol recaps @Truthcoin&apos;s planned eCash hardfork: hold 1 BTC at the fork and you keep it, while an equal 1 ECX balance exists on the new independent chain — not an ERC-20, not a conversion. Urges self-custody before the snapshot since exchange support isn&apos;t guaranteed, and flags that the target block (~963,648, expected around August 22) lands exactly at the start of a new 2,016-block difficulty cycle. Contrasts the attempt with Bitcoin SV&apos;s adoption struggles and SegWit2x&apos;s cancellation, wondering if Drivechains can succeed where those forks didn&apos;t.</description>

      <title>Stacy Muur: BIP-110 vs. eCash — Two Different Forks, Same Bitcoin Block</title>
      <link>https://x.com/stacy_muur/status/2079650623667245251?s=46</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="false">https://news.ecash.com/#stacy-muur-bip110-vs-ecash-two-forks-explainer</guid>
      <pubDate>Wed, 22 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Stacy Muur untangles why next month&apos;s Bitcoin forks confuse people: BIP-110 is a softfork tightening data rules on the existing chain, while eCash is a hardfork launching a separate chain with Drivechains built in. At approximately Bitcoin block 963,648, every BTC holder receives an equal amount of ECX with no changes to their Bitcoin — she recommends moving BTC to self-custody before the snapshot since exchange support isn&apos;t guaranteed.</description>
