Bitcoin holders are set to receive new eCash tokens through a phased hard fork scheduled to begin in August 2026, according to a report originally published by Pluang. The rollout is described as a phased process rather than a single network change.

A hard fork is a blockchain upgrade that changes a network’s rules and can result in a separate chain or new asset. In this case, the planned event is positioned as a mechanism for distributing eCash tokens to Bitcoin holders.

Bitcoin is the largest and best-known blockchain network, while eCash is a separate digital-asset project. Token distributions tied to major blockchain events can draw attention from holders, exchanges, wallet providers and other market participants because they may require operational support or eligibility decisions.

Further details on the distribution process, including how Bitcoin holdings would be recognized and how the phased hard fork would be implemented, were not included in the available report summary. The planned start date is August 2026.
