#Scash : The fusion of Bitcoin's underlying architecture with the Monero algorithm, SCASH, is an innovative Proof-of-Work (PoW) cryptocurrency that cleverly combines Bitcoin's core protocol with Monero's (Monero) RandomX algorithm, aiming to recreate Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision: a truly decentralized network where ordinary users can participate in mining and consensus building using household computers. This integration is not a simple copy but a faithful inheritance of Bitcoin's UTXO model, block structure, and consensus rules, while injecting RandomX's resistance to ASICs to ensure more even distribution of computing power and lower participation barriers. In SCASH's architecture, Bitcoin's foundational framework provides a stable, scalable base: a fixed supply (similar to Bitcoin's 21 million cap), halving mechanisms (rewards halved every four years), and compatibility with advanced features like Taproot. This allows SCASH to seamlessly inherit the Bitcoin ecosystem's toolchain, such as wallets, explorers, and sidechain extensions. Meanwhile, Monero's RandomX algorithm replaces Bitcoin's SHA-256, ensuring mining relies more on CPUs than specialized hardware, thus realizing the democratized ideal of "One-CPU-One-Vote." The network launched in February 2024, with no pre-mining, no development tax, and fully open source. The current block reward is 50 SCASH, with approximately 950,000 coins mined. This combination not only restores Bitcoin's early fairness but also leaves room for future expansion: the community can activate features via drivechains or OP_CAT to easily integrate Layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network or optional privacy modules, without compromising the transparency of the main chain. SCASH is not a privacy coin—its on-chain data is publicly accessible—but it emphasizes community governance. If demand is strong, zero-knowledge proofs or mixing functions can be added via sidechains to ensure compliance and innovation coexist.
