Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

AnyHedge is UTXO DeFi Derivatives Contract Template for Bitcoin Cash and I Scraped On-chain Data for Total Settled Volume
It is non-custodian betting on price of supported assets paired against BCH, both parties put their money into the contract's pot and later the contract parses an oracle message and calculates how much they can take out. Made possible with Introspection opcodes and int64 upgrades to Bitcoin-tech Script VM, which activated in May '22 on Bitcoin Cash blockchain.
- What is the technological case for BCH?
- Is it there a continuation to the book “Mastering Bitcoin” but that explains the changes in BCH?

BCH May 15, upgrade, what benefits does it bring?
I dug around a bit and it seems to be this one: CHIP-2021-02-Bigger-Script-Integers.

What are your biggest criticisms towards the Lightning Network?

- BCH Unlimited 1.10.0 now out. Let’s get ready for the May upgrade!
- I was hesitant to trust my BCH on the smartBCH chain but after a few days I'm sold! It is ALL the benefits of ETH's smart contracts and ALL the benefits of Bitcoin in one! Just one question...

Introducing Unforgeable Groups for Bitcoin Cash - Using Groups as Owners
The latest "Group" proposal (v4.2) is more than just "tokenization". It got simpler and more powerful at the same time. It now enables generic BCH output groups that can be used to create persistent Script covenant contracts that can prove their genuineness. This is something that current contracts cannot do, even with the new Introspection opcodes. Group would make it possible because the groupID is a commitment to the whole genesis transaction, but this is not a post about that.

Coming soon to Pokket.cash: SmartBCH support!
Will you soon shut up about BCH being shit against "superior chains" when I point you to the CHIPs such as Native Introspection Opcodes, Bigger Script Integers which allows better smart contract functionality coming in 2022, and PMv3 and Group Tokens which allow better token and transaction formats that are coming in 2023?
-
Introspection opcodes are so cool, here's a teaser
You can't, because it requires a sibling output (same prevout txid as the contract, but index 1 instead of 0) to be spent alongside it and it verifies it using introspection opcodes that will be available in May. Only the owner of the sibling can spend the contract.

Bitcoin Cash Weekly News August 7 2023
Bitcoin Cash upgrades through the CHIP emergent consensus system. Developer bitcoincashautist has published a new CHIP which aims to end the scaling debate by having the BCH blocksize scale via algorithm and is now implementation ready. For details on testing please see the CHIP.

General Protocols: Opinion on BCH Maxblocksize Scaling
One time increases in maxblocksize are an ongoing and unpredictable effort. While the CHIP process offers some stability and transparency to the effort, it nevertheless subjects the network to regular episodes of uncertainty regarding what some would consider its raison d'etre. Putting a predictable, sane plan into action reduces that uncertainty and increases confidence for all parties - users, businesses, infrastructure providers and developers.

An "Official Statement from the CEO of Bitcoin Cash"
"Our Dispute Resolution: We circumvent the need for one" which alludes to our permissionless nature, much of which is encapsulated in the CHIP process.

The Real Enemy
Along the way, we have the CHIP process to help keep us going in a good direction.

For anyone wondering what Bitcoin misinformation looks like…
Yeah, I think I'll move that to a CHIP and see if we can get consensus for it

More BTC maxi drama: “Core devs are currently trying to attack Bitcoin by forcing a pet agenda…This attack includes bitcoin-dev mailing list lies and lobbying, code changes in Core node, and bribery attempts to miners.”
BCH ecosystem is unique in crypto that it booted even the reference client. Not just a random minor client that no one mines with. Now BCH ecosystem uses the CHIP process (some chips) rather than following a reference client or company. Huge difference. Also note that CHIP is a full on process, not just a technical document like BIP.
