What we do
Building a public payments network at mass scale
eCash provides the bandwidth for every economic transaction in the world, at any size.
The digital payment landscape is on the verge of explosive growth.
At projected rates, global demand could reach 100 billion daily transactions — far beyond what today’s payment infrastructure can support.

Avalanche
Avalanche is a breakthrough consensus algorithm integrated with eCash's Proof-of-Work, enabling instant transaction finality, greater flexibility, and unmatched security.
Staking
Staking rewards incentivize running eCash Avalanche nodes to improve the security and performance of the network. Anyone can now earn while holding their XEC.
Subnets
Subnets enable customized networks such as EVM or Zero-Knowledge privacy. Build faster with permissionless subnets powered by eCash Avalanche technology.
Chronik
Chronik is a high-speed, reliable indexer built into the node, giving developers easy, scalable access to all native eCash network features.
Tokens
eCash supports tokens that anyone can create in a few clicks. Instantly mint tokens or NFT collections and trade them within your wallet's integrated DEX.
CashFusion
Privacy is fundamental to sound money. CashFusion offers anonymity comparable to the top privacy coins while maintaining an auditable supply cap.

Avalanche-Enhanced
Instant Finality
Pre-consensus makes transactions irreversible before they are included in a block, reducing settlement time on eCash from 10 minutes to 3 seconds – more than 1000 times faster than Proof of Work-only cryptos like Bitcoin, which take about an hour for strong finality.
51% Attack Protection
Networks with low hash rates are vulnerable to mining attacks. With Avalanche, eCash is protected. An attacker would need not only most of the hash rate, but also most of the staked eCash. Avalanche consensus selects the chain miners will mine on, and the nodes that make up the network are weighted by their stake.
1-block Finality
Post-consensus makes each new block irreversible by locking it in as the valid chain tip. Once a block is finalized it cannot be removed from the chain. This also lays the foundation for Instant Finality, which applies the same principle directly to individual transactions.
Staking Rewards
Staking Rewards strengthen the network by incentivizing honest nodes. Each additional coin staked makes the network more invulnerable to attacks. Staking Rewards also fuels eCash’s economic engine, allowing XEC holders to earn passive income, incentivizing holding, and supporting the price by reducing available supply.
Consistent Block Times
Minority networks suffer from erratic block times due to abrupt hash switching. Avalanche makes it possible to enforce a much more steady stream of blocks by penalizing blocks that come in too early. Regular block times are also useful for legacy businesses that opt to continue relying on blocks in their business logic.
Real-time Transaction Processing
Since the network will not have to wait for a block to validate transactions, transaction throughput increases. Real-time Transaction Processing allows eCash nodes to prepare for each block before confirmation, significantly reducing the amount of work required when a block comes in.
Dynamic Block Size
The maximum block size can be decided by Avalanche consensus to allow the network to scale gradually based on the number of transactions. The eCash network will be able to scale with market demand while mitigating spam attacks, and keeping the bandwidth under control.
Dynamic Transaction Fees
eCash fees can be adjusted dynamically depending on demand, making it possible to send transactions with very minimal or even no fee at all.
Subnets
Subnet validation enables unlimited second layer protocols with virtually no impact on the main chain. Privacy, smart contracts, and other popular features proven out by other chains would be supported on eCash.
Fork-Free Upgrades
The introduction of Avalanche consensus on eCash allows network upgrades to take place quickly and behind the scenes without disrupting users or builders. Avalanche is able to take responsibility for network policy rules, rather than being hard-coded and requiring node operators to upgrade before the changes go live.
For developers
Robust infrastructure, powerful tools, zero dependencies
Fast WebSocket APIs, native libraries, and well-maintained tools for unmatched performance. Flexible hooks for custom implementations, backed by comprehensive test coverage — all within a unified open-source monorepo.
// Initialize a Chronik client for eCash
import { ChronikClient } from 'chronik-client'

const chronik = new ChronikClient(['https://chronik.e.cash/'])
// Get an indexed Tx by txid
async function getTx(txid: string) {
try {
const tx = await chronik.tx(txid)
console.log('tx', tx)
} catch (err) {
