Bitcoin Cash Prepares Adaptive Blocksize Limit Upgrade, Commits to Network Scaling

Bitcoin Cash, the usability-focused Bitcoin hard fork, is set to implement a blockchain-wide upgrade on May 15th. This upgrade includes the integration of an adaptive blocksize limit algorithm (ABLA), which will allow the network to scale and adapt to future increases in demand without the need for manual interventions. By automating the response to changes in block size utilization, the network will be better equipped to handle increased transaction volume. This upgrade also protects against social attacks and infighting within the network, as decisions will be delegated to the algorithm itself. The implementation of ABLA is seen as a long-term solution to the continuous debate around increasing the blocksize limit. The upgrade also addresses an economic vulnerability that occurred in 2010 and led to the BCH/BTC network split in 2017. While the current blocksize limit is not close to being reached, the commitment to adapting to future demand increases demonstrates Bitcoin Cash’s forward-thinking approach.
