About
Bitcoin SV (BSV)

Bitcoin SV (BSV), standing for Satoshi Vision, is a digital asset that emerged from a contentious hard fork of the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) blockchain. Its fundamental mission is to restore what its proponents believe to be the original Bitcoin protocol as detailed in Satoshi Nakamoto's whitepaper. The project's core philosophy centers on massive on-chain scaling, primarily by removing the block size limit, allowing for an unbounded block capacity. This technical approach is designed to facilitate a high volume of transactions with extremely low fees, enabling practical micropayments and large-scale data operations directly on the digital ledger.

Operating on a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, the BSV network leverages the established Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model for its cryptographic security. Beyond its function as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, BSV is engineered to be a global data carrier. The native BSV token is used not only for transaction fees but also for writing data to the blockchain, powering complex applications and smart contracts through its robust Scripting language. This has led to the development of the "Metanet," a concept for an on-chain internet. BSV positions itself as a foundational layer for enterprise-level Web3 infrastructure, aiming to provide a single, stable, and scalable public blockchain for global use.
