Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash is a blockchain protocol that hard-forked from Bitcoin in August 2017. A hard fork is a split of the existing blockchain, which means that Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash blockchains were one and the same before the split. The division was a consequence of a debate in the Bitcoin community on how to process a larger amount of transactions per minute. There were two main solutions put forward. The first was to reduce the amount of information included in each block through SegWit2x technology. The second suggestion was to increase the block size, an option suggested by a group of people skeptical of the actual benefits of SegWit2x.
This group of people eventually split up and forked into a new blockchain, namely Bitcoin Cash.
To summarise, the main differences between Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin are: the block size of 32 MB instead of the 2MB and the scalability solution based on the increased block size rather than on Segwit2x.
Crypto APIs supports Bitcoin Cash mainnet and testnet APIs.
