根據 U.Today 報導，比特幣現金開發商 Jason Dreyzehner 宣布啟動比特幣現金主網重大升級，計劃於 2025 年 5 月啟動。
A major upgrade to the Bitcoin Cash mainnet has been activated at block 227,228 on the chipnet, incorporating two Bitcoin Cash Improvement Proposals (CHIPs).
比特幣現金主網的重大升級已在晶片網路的第 227,228 號區塊激活，其中包含兩項比特幣現金改進提案（CHIP）。
The Targeted Virtual Machine Limits CHIP optimizes Bitcoin Cash's denial-of-service defenses by increasing compute capabilities for real contracts by over 100 times while reducing worst-case node compute utilization by 50%. This adjustment simplifies contracts, streamlines contract audits, and bolsters overall security. The upgrade improves contract efficiency, making advanced use cases more feasible, such as post-quantum cryptography, stronger escrow and settlement strategies, zero-knowledge proofs, and homomorphic encryption. It also introduces new tooling and a cross-implementation benchmarking technique to consistently verify node performance.
目標虛擬機器限制 CHIP 透過將真實合約的運算能力提高 100 倍以上，同時將最壞情況下的節點運算利用率降低 50%，優化了比特幣現金的拒絕服務防禦。此次調整簡化了合約、簡化了合約審核並增強了整體安全性。此次升級提高了合約效率，使高階用例更加可行，例如後量子密碼學、更強大的託管和結算策略、零知識證明和同態加密。它還引入了新的工具和跨實施基準測試技術，以一致地驗證節點效能。
The BigInt CHIP, also known as High-Precision Arithmetic for Bitcoin Cash, significantly reduces contract lengths by over tenfold, making previously theoretical applications immediately practical. This includes advanced automated market-making and exchange protocols, decentralized stablecoins, collateralized loan protocols, cross-chain and sidechain bridges, zero-knowledge proofs, post-quantum cryptography, and homomorphic encryption. The upgrade leverages Bitcoin Cash's scalable architecture to provide superior math capabilities, surpassing those of Ethereum, with "bare metal" performance, more byte-efficient, and cost-effective transactions. These enhancements are now accessible to Bitcoin Cash contracts on "layer one," ensuring censorship resistance and cross-contract compatibility without increasing compute requirements, allowing fully archiving Bitcoin Cash nodes to operate on low-cost consumer hardware.
BigInt CHIP，也稱為比特幣現金高精度算術，可將合約長度顯著縮短十倍以上，使先前的理論應用立即變得實用。這包括先進的自動化做市和交易協議、去中心化穩定幣、抵押貸款協議、跨鍊和側鏈橋、零知識證明、後量子密碼和同態加密。此次升級利用比特幣現金的可擴展架構來提供超越以太坊的卓越數學功能，並具有「裸機」性能、更高的位元組效率和更具成本效益的交易。這些增強功能現在可供「第一層」上的比特幣現金合約使用，確保審查阻力和跨合約相容性，而無需增加計算要求，從而允許完全存檔比特幣現金節點在低成本消費硬體上運行。
Following the announcement, the price of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) showed a modest increase, rising 5% in the last 24 hours to $442, marking the second consecutive day of gains since November 15.
消息公佈後，比特幣現金（BCH）的價格小幅上漲，在過去 24 小時內上漲 5%，至 442 美元，這是自 11 月 15 日以來連續第二天上漲。
