🏁 BCH-1 Hackcelerator Phase 2 — Winners Announced The BCH-1 Hackcelerator Phase 2 sprint has officially concluded. First, a huge thank you to every builder who participated. The level of experimentation, creativity, and execution across the cohort was impressive to watch unfold. In total we saw: 👨‍💻 255 registered builders 💬 188 members active in the Telegram builder channel 🚀 53 projects progress into Phase 2 of the sprint Many teams pushed real prototypes, early infrastructure, and ambitious ideas into the ecosystem. Some projects joined late or ran out of time to complete their technical implementation, but still showed strong potential. Several of those teams will continue receiving guidance after the program. BCH-1 was designed to accelerate projects from idea → traction, and that next phase of support now begins. 🧭 How Projects Were Evaluated How Projects Were Evaluated Winners were selected based on the evaluation criteria outlined on DoraHacks and BCH-1.org. Projects were assessed across several dimensions: • Technical execution – working code, live demos, or deployed prototypes • Clarity of product vision – how clearly the project communicates its purpose and value • Impact on the BCH ecosystem – whether the project meaningfully expands the utility of Bitcoin Cash • Originality and design – novel mechanics, new product categories, or thoughtful adaptation of proven models • Public momentum – builder communication, social visibility, and engagement with the community • Follow-through – the likelihood that the team will continue building after the sprint Many teams delivered strong work across these categories. Ultimately, however, we had to make difficult selections. 🏆 Overall Winners: 🥇 Overall Winner: @nexopsbch $5,000 + $5,000 retroactive reward upon specification and MVP completion. 🥈 Overall Runner-Up: @BCHcash_mint $2,500 + $2,500 retroactive reward upon specifcation and MVP completion. 🛠 Technology Track: Winner: 🥇 @rabbitexp_bch $3,000 Runner-Up 🥈 @OPTNLabs $1,000 🧩 Application Track: After review, no clear overall winner was declared. The strongest contestant here, did not enough backend, and we cannot assign a winner based on just vision and front-end. Runner-Up: 🥈 @trustbch1 $1,000 🥈 @tripfiapp $1,000 💸 CashTokens Track: Winner: 🥇 @intents_swap $3,000 Runner-Up: 🥈 @flowguard_ $1,000 🥈 @FundTokens_Cash $1,000 ⭐ Honourable Mentions These teams delivered promising ideas, strong experimentation, or notable prototypes: Farmer's Dream @FarmersDreamP2E PayOnce Cash @PayOnceCash Cash Agent @CashAgent86522 Paysats @trypaysats Roast CashDropKit AuraTrades @AuraTradesBCH Milestara @jovan_0406 CashToken Studios Agent X402 Cash Launch BCHUBKey GSM Cash @gsmcash Confidential Assets BCH Ghost BCH Cashalyst @bch_cashalyst Atomic Cash @AtomicCashBCH TobbyPOS @tabbypos ------- What Happens Next BCH-1 does not end with the sprint. Selected teams will receive continued post-hackcelerator guidance, including: • help refining product direction • support preparing for launch or deployment • introductions where appropriate • continued ecosystem visibility Several projects that were technically incomplete but showed strong potential will also receive follow-up support where possible. The goal of BCH-1 is not just to run a hackathon — it is to create a pipeline of real products launching on And based on what we saw during this sprint, that pipeline has begun. More updates soon. We will be letting CHIP points run until Sunday, then we will close it for what comes after.

BCH-1 Phase 2 Sprint starts today. 🟢🟢🟢 Over 45 approved teams (selected from 209 hackers) are now building on Bitcoin Cash, and the work is already moving inside project rooms. Bitcoin Cash is in green pastures: low fees, real scalability, and smart contract capability directly on a Bitcoin base layer. The surface area for new applications is wide open. BCH-1 exists for one reason: to turn that opportunity into shipped products. This week is simple: - Teams lock their demo target - Socials go live, project receive points for X activity - Prototype check-in mid-week - Mentors jump into chats to unblock builders - More Spotlights coming Over the next two weeks, this sprint converges into demo-ready releases. $BCH will start showing its full potential through the next generation of talent, in the midst of stale projects as we move into the top 10.

The BCH-1 Hackcelerator builder rewards pool has doubled from $20,000 to $40,000. 🚀🚀🚀 $BCH is green pastures 🏞️ you can build on. This is big for builders who find it hard to find visibility in a overcrowded field on other cryptos. It was one of the best-performing L1s last year and briefly returned to the top ten. The upgrades matters: a Bitcoin chain where you can build directly on the base layer with smart contracts, low fees, fast settlement, and scalability designed for real usage. You keep Bitcoin’s core advantages while gaining the ability to ship applications that can grow without becoming unusable. BCH-1 exists to make that opportunity visible by bringing serious builders to Bitcoin Cash and helping them ship polished, fundable products. Porting, adapting, and improving apps on other chains for BCH is a fast path to ownership and differentiation in an ecosystem with real surface area all for the taking. Phase 2 timeline: • Now: Phase 1 in its final gear, mentors being assigned • Feb 6 – Phase 2 begins (warm-up phase) • Feb 13 – Initial BUIDL submission (vision & idea) ; sprint officially starts • Feb 26 – Final submissions Apply here: dorahacks.io/hackathon/bch-1…

🚀 BCH-1 Phase 1 Update: We now have 125 registered hackers. There are 22 projects that have had their project vision and MVP challenge approved, ready for the phase 2 sprint. Their names are (I'll let you guess what they propose to do 😀): AuraTrades, Dance Cash, MavenPride, TicketScan, BCH Pay, BCH Ghost, Cashinals, Confidential Assets, BCHUBKey, CashDropKit, AxisPay, Soma, SecureVote, Farmer's Dream, RoastMyBag, NexOps, Fun(d) Tokens, CashLabs, Fortress Vault, FlowGuard, USSD Cash, PaySats, CoinGraze, Movia, OPTN Labs, CoinDrop, BCH Trend Navigator The work continues to bootstrap even more $BCH project tadpoles. This week the focus will be on app logic, product messaging and CashScript implementation challenges. We have put everyone into the 4 different groups from A to D, depending on where their idea is, and how much help they need to be onboarded onto the $BCH ecosystem Every week, each group is assigned its focus for the week on our TG group chat. All builders should get engaged with our TG channel for maximum interaction with our lovely community at Bitcoin Cash: (in reply)

BCH-1 Hackcelerator is a 4-week track built for $BCH native builders. Phase 1 opens the gates. Phase 2 is where execution happens. From idea to demo day - with visibility, ecosystem support, and potential funding. An ignition track for Bitcoin Cash’s programmable era. It's time for investors to see what is possible on $BCH
