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 Node Roadmap?
[consensus change] We want to investigate a BCH version of BIP-R10 / OP_COUNT_ACKS to allow decentralized two-way pegs to sidechains (like SmartBCH and others).
What are some alternatives?
