The Avalanche/Nakamoto hybrid brings real-time consensus to eCash $XEC . A historic first for PoW blockchains. Here’s what this unlocks:
For the first time on a trustless PoW chain, the network can agree almost instantly on the state of a transaction. That’s what enables Instant Finality, bringing settlement down to about 3 seconds with the confidence users expect from real-world payments.
The network keeps up with that speed because it doesn’t sit idle between blocks. With Real-time Transaction Processing, nodes verify activity continuously. When a block arrives, all nodes have already done most of the processing work, so performance stays smooth even at a large scale. To make this consistency possible, 1-Block Finality locks each new block the moment it appears. This removes reorg uncertainty and dramatically raises security, giving builders and businesses a dependable foundation.
Staking Rewards strengthens this design. By combining staking with hash power, eCash becomes much harder to attack than any Bitcoin-style chain. It delivers the most complete security model of all Bitcoin implementations, gaining the strongest security even at low hashrate. And because this architecture does the heavy lifting, it naturally supports more advanced capabilities: Subnets for new ecosystems, dynamic fees and block sizes for flexible scaling, and upgrades that can happen without the friction of forks.
These highlights only scratch the surface of what this architecture enables on eCash. You can explore the full vision at https://e.cash
