HandCash
Username-based BSV wallet. The closest thing to "Venmo for Bitcoin" anyone has shipped. Developer SDK exposes payments in two lines of code.

Bitcoin for builders.
BSV is the original Bitcoin protocol - restored, scaled, and built to do work. We're the developer community shipping things on it: tooling, curated resources, a real apps showcase, and a 1-BSV lifetime founding membership for the people who want in.
Showcase
Built on BSV
Real apps shipping on the original Bitcoin protocol. Some are wallets, some are infrastructure, some are weird experiments. All on chain.

Resources
The good stuff, curated.
Most BSV documentation lives in three places and reads like it was written by three different committees. We read it so you don't have to - and we tell you which bits are worth your time.
- 01
Tutorials
Step-by-step builds, from first transaction to production app. No "what is a blockchain" filler - each tutorial ships a runnable thing.
- 02
Ecosystem
Wallets, SDKs, infrastructure - the working list. If it's broken or abandoned, we drop it. If it works, we tell you why.
- 03
Tools
Block explorers, signers, key tools, dev utilities. The everyday utility belt for BSV development. Free, mostly open source.
- 04
Community
The people actually shipping on BSV. Conversations, projects, who's hiring. Forum, not a Discord ghost town.
Technical papers
The reference. Read these once, return to them often.
The foundational documents that shaped what BSV is. Protocol papers, primers, technical references and deep research. Every entry annotated with a one-line take from us and a link straight to the source.
- Paper·2008
Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System
Satoshi Nakamoto · bitcoin.org
Nine pages. Still the entire BSV thesis. Read it cover to cover at least once before you write a BSV opinion - most people haven't.
- E-Book·BSV Association
BSV Association e-books: protocol primers + deep dives
BSV Association · bsvassociation.org
The dense reference set. Start with "An Introduction to BSV"; come back for the supply-chain and tokenisation primers when you need them.
- Docs·BSV Blockchain
docs.bsvblockchain.org: the technical reference
BSV Blockchain · docs.bsvblockchain.org
The closest thing to canonical reference docs. Use it when you need to know the actual behaviour, not the marketing description.
- Research·nChain
nChain Research: patents and papers
nChain · nchain.com
Heavyweight research output: scaling, payment channels, identity, micropayments. Mostly written for engineers, not marketers.

BSV Association Meets SEC Task Force
The BSV Association recently sat down with the SEC Crypto Task Force to hash out how BSV’s token design, governance, and network rules position its tokens as utility and data infrastructure - not speculative securities. Key Impacts and Insights According to statements from the Association, this meeting aimed to clarify distinctions in token types, hoping to guide regulators toward rules that support blockchain projects focused on data integrity and enterprise use. Why does this matter for th

Bitcoin. A Feature Film by Doug Liman
