🏁 BCH-1 Hackcelerator Phase 2 — Winners Announced The BCH-1 Hackcelerator Phase 2 sprint has officially concluded. First, a huge thank you to every builder who participated. The level of experimentation, creativity, and execution across the cohort was impressive to watch unfold. In total we saw: 👨‍💻 255 registered builders 💬 188 members active in the Telegram builder channel 🚀 53 projects progress into Phase 2 of the sprint Many teams pushed real prototypes, early infrastructure, and ambitious ideas into the ecosystem. Some projects joined late or ran out of time to complete their technical implementation, but still showed strong potential. Several of those teams will continue receiving guidance after the program. BCH-1 was designed to accelerate projects from idea → traction, and that next phase of support now begins. 🧭 How Projects Were Evaluated How Projects Were Evaluated Winners were selected based on the evaluation criteria outlined on DoraHacks and BCH-1.org. Projects were assessed across several dimensions: • Technical execution – working code, live demos, or deployed prototypes • Clarity of product vision – how clearly the project communicates its purpose and value • Impact on the BCH ecosystem – whether the project meaningfully expands the utility of Bitcoin Cash • Originality and design – novel mechanics, new product categories, or thoughtful adaptation of proven models • Public momentum – builder communication, social visibility, and engagement with the community • Follow-through – the likelihood that the team will continue building after the sprint Many teams delivered strong work across these categories. Ultimately, however, we had to make difficult selections. 🏆 Overall Winners: 🥇 Overall Winner: @nexopsbch $5,000 + $5,000 retroactive reward upon specification and MVP completion. 🥈 Overall Runner-Up: @BCHcash_mint $2,500 + $2,500 retroactive reward upon specifcation and MVP completion. 🛠 Technology Track: Winner: 🥇 @rabbitexp_bch $3,000 Runner-Up 🥈 @OPTNLabs $1,000 🧩 Application Track: After review, no clear overall winner was declared. The strongest contestant here, did not enough backend, and we cannot assign a winner based on just vision and front-end.

Selected teams will receive continued post-hackcelerator guidance, including: • help refining product direction • support preparing for launch or deployment • introductions where appropriate • continued ecosystem visibility Several projects that were technically incomplete but showed strong potential will also receive follow-up support where possible. The goal of BCH-1 is not just to run a hackathon — it is to create a pipeline of real products launching on And based on what we saw during this sprint, that pipeline has begun. More updates soon. We will be letting CHIP points run until Sunday, then we will close it for what comes after.

BCH-1 Phase 2 Spotlight 💡: TripFi 🧵 TripFi is building an AI-native travel booking experience powered by Bitcoin Cash. Instead of navigating multiple booking sites, comparing tabs, and re-entering the same data, users interact with an AI assistant that understands where they want to go and presents structured options instantly. Key capabilities include: • AI-driven travel discovery based on user intent • Natural language trip planning instead of multi-site comparison • Unified booking flow from search to checkout • Direct BCH payments for flights, hotels, and experiences • Integrated tipping in BCH for guides and service providers AI simplifies decision-making. BCH simplifies settlement. Travel is one of the most globally distributed industries. Pairing AI-driven coordination with peer-to-peer digital cash creates a system where planning and payment operate in the same environment. $BCH Is satoshi's original vision of peer to peer cash, instant transactions, used for commerce, perfect for human-AI economy.

BCH-1 Phase 2 Sprint starts today. 🟢🟢🟢 Over 45 approved teams (selected from 209 hackers) are now building on Bitcoin Cash, and the work is already moving inside project rooms. Bitcoin Cash is in green pastures: low fees, real scalability, and smart contract capability directly on a Bitcoin base layer. The surface area for new applications is wide open. BCH-1 exists for one reason: to turn that opportunity into shipped products. This week is simple: - Teams lock their demo target - Socials go live, project receive points for X activity - Prototype check-in mid-week - Mentors jump into chats to unblock builders - More Spotlights coming Over the next two weeks, this sprint converges into demo-ready releases. $BCH will start showing its full potential through the next generation of talent, in the midst of stale projects as we move into the top 10.
