Bitcoin SV emerged from a Bitcoin Cash hard fork in 2018, which itself forked from BTC a year earlier during blocksize wars. BSV claims fulfilling the original Bitcoin protocol vision as described in Satoshi Nakamoto's whitepaper, early client software, and known Satoshi writings. The cryptocurrency aims offering scalability and stability aligned with Bitcoin's peer-to-peer cash system original description plus distributed data network supporting enterprise blockchain applications. Removing artificial block size limits and re-enabling disabled historical Script commands and technical capabilities purportedly allows processing tens of thousands transactions per second while maintaining extremely low micropayment fees plus advanced capabilities including tokens, smart contracts, computation, and other data uses. The BSV network claims unique unbounded on-chain scaling capacity while maintaining stronger original Bitcoin design alignment than any other blockchain.
nChain developed BSV node software and regularly delivers protocol updates restoring original Bitcoin functionality, now providing the BSV Infrastructure Team advancing node software and network infrastructure tools. Former nChain Chief Scientist Craig Wright, claiming to be Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto, supported BSV since the 2018 BCH split following controversial protocol changes proposed by several BCH developers. Entrepreneur Calvin Ayre advocates vocally for BSV and pursues investment opportunities in BSV-building projects. After BSV split from BCH, the Switzerland-based BSV Association non-profit was formed supporting global growth and BSV blockchain digital cash adoption.
BSV differs from other Bitcoin versions through alleged original protocol adherence and focus on realizing the Bitcoin whitepaper and Satoshi Nakamoto writings network vision. BSV aims providing scalable and usable blockchain for efficient consumer, enterprise, and government electronic cash payments and distributed applications. Thanks to unbounded block size, BSV scales meeting market forces and any application and payment network demands without second-layer solutions. In 2021, BSV network mined world-first gigabyte-level blocks—reaching 2 GBs in August 2021, contrasting with BTC's 1MB cap (2GB equals 2000 times BTC's limit). BSV block capacity continues expanding supporting more transaction volume and data use cases. BSV Infrastructure Team testing has demonstrated 1,000,000 transaction per second capacity expected on mainnet with further growth, rivaling VISA payment processing capabilities at fraction user costs. BSV offers scalable developers production-ready blockchain platforms, scaling with user adoption ensuring low fees and rapid transactions.
Original Bitcoin protocol defines maximum 21 million BSV circulating coins. Fresh circulation coins distribute to BSV miners via block rewards earned along with transaction fees validating blocks. Block rewards halve at predefined periods gradually shifting miner reliance from subsidies to transaction fees while reducing new token flow approaching maximum quantity.
BSV uses proof-of-work consensus as described in Bitcoin's whitepaper—miners solve complex mathematical problems using computer processing power to add transaction-containing blocks to blockchain. The miner first solving problems earns block rewards and transaction fees with their block added to chain. As more blocks build atop their block, transactions now stored on chain become ratified by other nodes, becoming extremely difficult or virtually impossible to alter.
BSV is listed on major exchanges including OKX, KuCoin, HTX, and other cryptocurrency platforms.
