A frequent myth that you can hear around the Bitcoin Cash world is that there is no Developer Ecosystem, but this statement is completely false, since BCH can be used to build amazing things or just answer common needs.
The first resource that you can check, to get an idea of the complete ecosystem that BCH has is by visiting https://bitcoinprotocol.cash/ This specification was initially created by Software Verde, LLC, the creators of Bitcoin Verde, in association with Bitcoin Unlimited which provided both funding and content to ensure the project's success.
A quick overview:
Bitcoin Cash is a decentralized cryptocurrency with a public distributed ledger. Transactions are validated and transmitted over the Bitcoin Cash peer-to-peer (P2P) network, and stored in the blockchain. Bitcoin Cash utilizes the Proof-of-work timestamping scheme with SHA-256 hash function, and targets a 10-minute block time. It also utilizes the secp256k1 parameters with ECDSA and Schnorr algorithm for digital signatures. The ticker symbol for Bitcoin Cash is BCH.
The main functionalities are:
-Transactions
Bitcoin Transaction — Unlocking Script — Locking Script — Transaction Signing
-Blocks
Bitcoin Blocks — Block Header — Merkle Tree — Transaction Ordering
-Script (Bitcoin transaction language)
Script — Operation Codes (opcodes)
-Transaction validation
Transaction Validation — Block-Level Validation Rules — Network-Level Validation Rules
-Proof of Work (PoW)
Proof of Work — Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm — Mining — Stratum Protocol — Mining Pools
-Cryptography
Bitcoin Keys (Public/Private) — Signatures (ECDSA/Schnorr) — Multisignature (M-of-N multisig) — Bitcoin Signed Message

Bitcoin Cash is a true marketplace, where anyone can build anything — no permission needed!
