🚀 What's Happening Now
BCH-1 doesn't stop at Phase 2.
Most hackathons fail the moment prizes are distributed—momentum dies, teams scatter, prototypes collect dust.
We designed BCH-1 to bridge the gap between "working prototype" and "fundable MVP," because that gap kills more good ideas than bad execution ever will.
Right now:
Winning teams are in individual MVP guidance sessions. Product positioning that makes sense for BCH's ecosystem structure.
Post-Hackcelerator Support (Multi-Month):
- Go-to-market strategy for MVP
- Structured ecosystem introductions.
- Fundraising pathway guidance from BCH-1
- Technical infrastructure support.
- CashScript and CashTokens integration guidance, smart contract security review access, deployment support—whatever keeps teams moving instead of stuck.

📈 Why This Matters
The programmable era of Bitcoin Cash isn't theoretical anymore. We have proof.
@nexopsbch shipped an AI-assisted CashScript IDE with a benchmarking system that's already live.
@BCHcash_mint built a CashToken minting platform and is planning mainnet deployment.
@intents_swap finalized the contract architecture for an intent-based DEX.
@rabbitexp_bch is optimizing a BCH block explorer, and studying building infrastructure for
$BCH
Those are just the top-line winners. Nineteen other teams are in active development right now.
The programmability layer works when builders have the right tools and support structure.
We also proved something bigger: builder interest exists when pathways are clear.

🔭 Looking Ahead (Subject to Time Hiccups)
March-April:
Completing support for winning teams and select high-potential projects. Focus: Business Intelligence.
BCH-1 will expand visibility moves. Updates to BCH-1 website and resources.
Plans to pivot BCH-1 to a full ecosystem pipeline layer for
$BCH is being worked on.
May:
Connecting qualified projects with ecosystem funding sources. Polished projects will be presented at
@bchbliss.

To the 255 builders who registered, the 53 teams who submitted, the 9 winners (
@nexopsbch @BCHcash_mint @rabbitexp_bch @OPTNLabs @trustbch1 @tripfiapp @intents_swap
@flowguard_ @FundTokens_Cash), and 19 honourable mentions, you're building the proof that Bitcoin Cash's programmable era is real.
The pipeline is active. More updates as teams hit milestones.
