bitcoinabc/bitcoin-abc-dev repository overview

The goal of Bitcoin ABC is to create sound money that is usable by everyone in the world.

The project aims to achieve this goal by implementing a series of optimizations and protocol upgrades that will enable peer-to-peer digital cash to scale many orders of magnitude beyond current limits.
