Building on Bitcoin Cash shouldn't mean reinventing the infrastructure every time. The XO Stack handles much of the complexity behind templates, blockchain connections, indexers and oracles, so developers can focus on their applications.

A clear reminder from Steve Thurmond, shared by General Protocols: external rescue isn't coming Financial independence comes from individuals building and using better tools, including peer-to-peer money. Short clip here: youtube.com/shorts/-TA79yPSO…

Are crypto oracles rewarding the wrong thing? Many oracle systems incentivize producing data. But what if the better approach is to reward data when it's actually consumed? @EmergentReasons explains why getting the incentives right matters.

What could XO unlock for Bitcoin Cash? Recurring payments. Conditional payments. Liquidity pools. New oracle systems. By reducing the cost and complexity of building on BCH, XO could make a whole new range of applications practical. @monsterbitar explains the possibilities👇

Ethereum helped pioneer DeFi, but its success also came with architectural baggage. Building exciting applications is one thing. Scaling them to millions or billions of users is another. @EmergentReasons explains why scaling matters for Bitcoin Cash 👇

What happens if the website you used to create a smart contract goes offline? With XO, compatible wallets can retrieve verified templates and manage contracts independently of the original application. @monsterbitar explains how it works 👇 youtube.com/shorts/55KUHQDKX…

Why aren't more applications being built on Bitcoin Cash? Custom integrations are expensive, and limited wallet support creates a vicious cycle. XO Templates aim to break that cycle by making protocols reusable across compatible wallets. @EmergentReasons explains below👇

XO comes with one of the most powerful debugging tools on the market, with clear insights for a scripts execution and full stack for every step of the script. At BCH Blaze 2026, the @GeneralProtocol team will be showing how tools like this fit into the wider XO workflow.

Why are loops important for Bitcoin Cash? They allow smart contracts to handle varying numbers of inputs and outputs, removing limitations that previously constrained transaction design. @monsterbitar explains what this unlocks for BCH👇 youtube.com/shorts/w7Se8ZJmu…

Why does crypto need XO? To reach millions or billions of people, building useful applications needs to become easier and cheaper. XO is now reaching the proof-of-concept stage. Once the hard problems are solved, things can start to accelerate. @EmergentReasons explains 👇

Privacy matters. But is privacy enough on its own? Users also want payments, contracts, DeFi and applications they can actually use. @monsterbitar explains why privacy is valuable, but can't be the only feature 👇
