Frequently asked questions

Smart Bitcoin Cash (SmartBCH) is an EVM-compatible sidechain to Bitcoin Cash (BCH) mainnet that runs Solidity smart contracts while using BCH for gas. It powers low-fee DeFi, DEX trading, NFTs, gaming, and BCH-denominated payments, with bridging routes to move BCH into and out of EVM dApps. Typical performance includes sub-cent average fees (often <$0.01), ~5-second blocks, and burst capacity in the hundreds+ TPS, enabling cost-effective, high-frequency activity.

SmartBCH is unique for combining full Ethereum tooling with BCH-native gas and UX, so users pay fees and settle in BCH rather than ETH. Its short block intervals (~5s) and consistently low gas costs keep most transactions at fractions of a cent even during peaks, while current on-chain activity is lighter than major L2s, minimizing congestion. Compared with other EVM chains, it targets high throughput (hundreds+ TPS) for payments-focused DeFi on BCH, giving BCH holders a direct, low-cost path into Web3 without leaving the BCH ecosystem.

Smart Bitcoin Cash uses BCH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain BCH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.

To bridge BCH to Smart Bitcoin Cash, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Smart Bitcoin Cash as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.

To build on Smart Bitcoin Cash you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.

To add Smart Bitcoin Cash to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.

To send BCH on Smart Bitcoin Cash, ensure your wallet is connected to the Smart Bitcoin Cash network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of BCH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
