What's eCash?
IntroductionIntroductionIntroduction
eCash is digital cash for the internet. You can send it directly to other people just like sending a text message. It works through a decentralized network of computers across the world, without any middlemen. If this sounds like Bitcoin, that’s because eCash is based on Bitcoin’s software and shares many of its technological fundamentals.
However, eCash is specifically optimized for scalability and speed, making it the ideal internet cash. It’s also easily extensible and can seamlessly interoperate with the wider DeFi ecosystem.

-Friedrich Hayek“I think that the internet is going to be one of the major forces for reducing the role of government. The one thing that's missing, but that will soon be developed, is a reliable eCash.”
