Bitcoin SV is a Bitcoin Cash fork that follows its own approach to block size and protocol rules. It is a separate network and separate asset from Bitcoin.
November 15, 2018 — Bitcoin SV split from Bitcoin Cash
Built by: A community/project fork; separate from Bitcoin's creator identity
Bitcoin SV emerged from a Bitcoin Cash network split and follows its own rules and development path. “Satoshi Vision” is a project name and philosophy, not evidence that a person is Bitcoin's creator.
What makes it different
Its own rules, its own trade-offs.
BSV is a distinct SHA-256 proof-of-work chain, not Bitcoin (BTC) and not Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
Not the same as: a guarantee, a bank account, or a customer-service payment rail.
How a transaction becomes real
From wallet to chain.
Transactions are signed, relayed, checked by nodes, and collected into blocks.
SHA-256 miners compete to produce valid blocks.
Nodes that follow BSV's rules accept and extend the BSV chain.
Supply and incentives
Why the token exists.
BSV follows a 21 million-unit maximum supply and a Bitcoin-derived reward schedule, on its own independent network.
Use it safely
What can go wrong.
Names and tickers are easily confused. Confirm BSV support on both sending and receiving services before moving funds.
Verify it yourself
Look at the chain.
A block explorer lets you inspect public transactions, blocks, addresses, and fees. Never paste a recovery phrase or private key into one.
