eCash.com Airdrop: tasks and status
eCash is a Bitcoin hard fork that maintains Bitcoin's core architecture while adding support for Drivechains and Layer 2 solutions. Participants can claim test tokens during the beta phase and receive the mainnet token at a 1:1 rate to their Bitcoin holdings on October 31, 2026.
About the project
What is eCash
eCash is a Bitcoin hard fork created by developer Paul Sztorc, designed to preserve Bitcoin's core properties while introducing native support for Drivechains (a protocol proposal for scaling) and Layer 2 functionality. The network uses the same SHA-256 proof-of-work algorithm as Bitcoin and maintains compatibility with Bitcoin's software stack where practical.
The project aims to serve as an alternative network for experimenting with scalability solutions and programmable sidechains while keeping the Bitcoin user experience familiar and transparent. Development is led by Sztorc and published as open-source software with public documentation and updates.
How the Airdrop Works
eCash distributes its token to Bitcoin holders through a two-phase approach. All holders of Bitcoin in non-custodial wallets at block 963,648 (the alpha snapshot) qualify to receive the mainnet token at a 1:1 ratio when the network launches on October 31, 2026.
The project currently runs a beta test phase where participants can claim test tokens called pECX for their Bitcoin holdings. These test tokens can later be burned or converted to mainnet tokens at a rate of 1 pECX = 0.02 ECX during the beta period. Test tokens are bonus rewards on top of the 1:1 mainnet airdrop and currently hold no value.
Participation Requirements
To participate, you need Bitcoin in a non-custodial wallet you control privately. The process involves downloading the eCash wallet, generating a wallet address, and importing your Bitcoin wallet's private key into the eCash interface to claim test tokens. Most participants complete this in under 10 minutes with no cost.
No deposit is required. The private key import is read-only and does not move or convert your Bitcoin holdings. You may optionally withdraw your Bitcoin to another wallet before importing the key if you prefer added security. The mainnet launch snapshot is scheduled for October 31, 2026, after which Bitcoin holders included will receive the eCash token at 1:1 ratio automatically.
What to Know
Test tokens (pECX) are currently valueless and exist only during the beta phase. The conversion mechanism to mainnet tokens is not yet available in the wallet and will be added in future updates. Rewards are not guaranteed and depend on holding Bitcoin at the specified snapshots.
The mainnet launch date of October 31, 2026, is tentative and subject to change. A new and final snapshot for the 1:1 airdrop will be taken at mainnet launch, separate from the beta snapshot. Early participants who claim test tokens during beta receive additional rewards beyond the main 1:1 airdrop.

Risks and what to watch for
- Test tokens (pECX) have no current value and may never convert to mainnet tokens if the project does not launch or if you fail to hold Bitcoin at the mainnet snapshot.
- Importing a private key into any wallet carries a small risk if the device is compromised or the wallet software contains vulnerabilities.
- The mainnet launch date is tentative and may be delayed or cancelled, which would affect the final 1:1 airdrop.
- Rewards depend entirely on holding Bitcoin in a non-custodial wallet at specific block heights; holders of Bitcoin on exchanges or custodial services are not eligible.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need Bitcoin to participate in the eCash airdrop?
Yes, you must hold Bitcoin in a non-custodial wallet you control privately at the time of the snapshot to be eligible for the airdrop. Bitcoin held on exchanges or in custodial services does not qualify.
When will I receive the mainnet eCash token?
The mainnet is tentatively scheduled to launch on October 31, 2026. A snapshot will be taken at that time, and all Bitcoin holders included in the snapshot will automatically receive the eCash token at a 1:1 ratio. Actual distribution timing depends on the launch being completed as scheduled.
What is pECX and why is it different from the mainnet token?
pECX are test tokens distributed during the beta and alpha phases to early participants. They currently have no value and are separate from the mainnet eCash token. You can convert pECX to ECX at a set rate, and the conversion feature will be added to the wallet in future updates. Converting test tokens is a bonus on top of your 1:1 mainnet airdrop.
Is it safe to import my Bitcoin private key into the eCash wallet?
Importing your private key is read-only and does not move or convert your Bitcoin holdings. It only grants the eCash wallet access to view your address and claim test tokens. If you are concerned about security, you can withdraw your Bitcoin to another wallet before importing the key.
How much does it cost to participate?
There is no cost. The airdrop is free, and claiming test tokens requires only the time to download and set up the wallet, typically around 10 minutes.
