CashScript
High-level smart-contract language for Bitcoin Cash — Solidity-like syntax.

For developers who want to deploy.
BCH is a scriptable UTXO chain. Write covenants in CashScript, sign with Libauth, index with Chaingraph — no EVM, no gas market, no bridges.
// Post-Layla · May 15 2026
Bounded loops, Pay-to-Script, OP_DEFINE / OP_INVOKE, and bitwise ops are live. What used to require unrolled scripts or off-chain math is now a few lines of CashScript.

Test on chipnet before mainnet
Chipnet is BCH's staging network — new upgrades ship there ~6 months before mainnet. If your contract exercises new opcodes, exercise it there first.
