BCH Weekly News#42 (Aug 23rd, 2021)

The first decentralized exchange (DEX) on **SmartBCH**, a sidechain of BCH, has been deployed by **BenSwap**. Originally a DEX project on the BSC chain, you can check it out here: **bchdex.benswap.finance.** https://smartbch.org/ https://bchdex.benswap.finance/#/

Cryptocurrency exchange **CoinFlex** now supports the cross-chain transfer of BCH. Users can deposit BCH and then withdraw it to the **SmartBCH** chain via CoinFlex, thus enabling cross-chain transfers. Likewise, users can withdraw BCH from the smartBCH chain to the mainnet via CoinFlex. https://coinflex.com/ https://smartbch.org/

BCH power wallet **Electron Cash** has released **v4.2.5**, which not only fixes a few bugs, but also improves **CashFusion**. CashFusion is a fully decentralized privacy protocol that allows anyone to create multi-party transactions with other network participants. This process obscures user's real spending and makes it difficult for chain-analysis companies to track your coins. https://electroncash.org/ https://github.com/Electron-Cash/Electron-Cash/releases https://cashfusion.org/ **Jason Dreyzehner,** a former BitPay employee and now a BCH software developer, proposed a new **CHIP** (CasH Improvement Proposal) -- ZCEs, or Zero-Confirmation Escrows. According to him, ZCEs enable instant, incentive-secure payments on Bitcoin Cash, and are particularly useful in point-of-sale, ATM, and vending applications where payers have no prior or ongoing relationship with the payee. https://blog.bitjson.com/ https://github.com/bitjson/bch-zce **CashFusion Red Team's** **Flipstarter campaign** to raise funding of 18BCH was a success. They will probe for weaknesses in the privacy guarantees of the **CashFusion** protocol and user utilization of it, and inform **Electron Cash** developers to fix or mitigate. CashFusion is a clever implementation of the CoinJoin concept released in July 2020, and it has provided a potent tool to BCH users who want to protect their privacy. https://github.com/Rucknium https://flipstarter.redteam.cash/ https://cashfusion.org/ https://electroncash.org/ **Koingfu.com**, a web community for the next generation of crypto adopters and a gateway into Bitcoin Cash decentralized finance, has successfully completed its **Flipstarter campaign** to raise 158 BCH. The funds will be used to cover the costs of servers, development, and security framework. https://www.koingfu.com/ http://flipstarter.koingfu.com/
