What is XEC crypto?

eCash is the rebranded version of Bitcoin Cash ABC and a fork of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. The digital currency claims it is designed to be used as electronic cash and aims to be crypto for making transactions to buy goods and services.

Amaury Sechet founded the XEC crypto, and he was the lead developer of Bitcoin Cash. Mr Sechet took the initial fork away from Bitcoin in 2017, and he was reportedly a software engineer at Facebook before coming into cryptocurrencies.

eCash combines a proof-of-stake consensus layer, and it is called Avalanche. However, it is not the same as blockchain Avalanche. When it was rebranded, eCash had announced that it would convert all Bitcoin Cash ABC coins to SEX at a ratio of one to one million.
