BITCOIN CASH UPGRADES LOCKED IN FOR MAY 2025 IMPLEMENTATION
The 2025 Bitcoin Cash upgrades have been locked in as of November 15 and are set to go live on May 15th, after garnering significant support from BCH stakeholders. Two major proposals, authored by Jason Dreyzehner, will be implemented as part of the upgrade: CHIP 2021–05, which will increase the power of the Bitcoin Cash contract system by replacing poorly-targeted virtual machine limits, and CHIP 2024–07, which will introduce high-precision arithmetic capabilities by increasing the maximum length of virtual machine numbers from 8 bytes to 258 bytes.

REAPER NFT COLLECTION NOW BRIDGEABLE TO CASHTOKENS
The Reaper NFT collection, originally launched on the SmartBCH (SBCH) network in January 2022, can now be bridged to Bitcoin Cash as CashTokens. A new bridging solution allows holders of Reapers to transfer their digital assets from SBCH to the Bitcoin Cash network, where they will exist as CashTokens. Please note that this bridging process is one-way only, meaning Reapers cannot be returned to SBCH once bridged. The move is expected to breathe new life into the Reaper collection, which was left in need of a solution following the collapse of SBCH.
