Wu said that Bitcoin developer Paul Sztorc announced he is assisting in creating a new Bitcoin hard fork called "eCash," which is expected to launch in August this year. Bitcoin holders will receive eCash at a 1:1 ratio. The project's Layer 1 code remains compatible with Bitcoin Core, will activate BIP300/301 via CUSF, and introduce support for seven Drivechain second-layer networks that enable merged mining. Sztorc stated that, unlike the BCH fork in 2017, the eCash name does not include "Bitcoin," and he issued a warning four months in advance. The team will provide token split tools to replay all initial transactions.
