In November 2020, BCHN added an RPC command for double spend proofs (DSProofs). Now, double-spend proofs are available via bch-js. Users can put in a TXID in the interactive Explorer UI offered by FullStack.cash and see if it generated a double-spend proof.
Josh Green, the founder of BCH full node client Bitcoin Verde, made a proposal called CHIP 2021-07 UTXO Fastsync. This proposal defines a method for nodes to generate, distribute, validate, and consume UTXO snapshots via the BCH P2P network. This method of synchronizing allows new nodes to join the network within a couple of hours (or less), instead of the current average of 8+ hours. Furthermore, this method of synchronizing (alongside block pruning methods) allows for BCH to scale in the medium-to-long term as the blockchain grows from gigabytes to terabytes.
A Flipstarter campaign to raise 75 BCH for the development of a Badger Wallet rewrite has begun. Badger Wallet was the first BCH wallet to support sending and receiving tokens via the SLP protocol.
