Account identity
Aperture derives and validates the public account under Bitcoin Cash rules. It does not assign a generic address from another network family.
Supported production mainnet
Bitcoin Cash in Aperture.
A network-aware home for BCH—with Bitcoin Cash addresses, fees, asset identity, transaction state, and safety boundaries kept visible.
Understand the network
Bitcoin Cash is not just a ticker.
Bitcoin Cash is a separate UTXO blockchain. Transactions spend previous outputs, create recipient and change outputs, and accumulate confirmations on the Bitcoin Cash chain.
Address format. Bitcoin Cash mainnet commonly uses CashAddr, including the bitcoincash: prefix, while some tools may display compatible legacy encodings.
Prefer the explicit CashAddr form Aperture provides. Verify that the sender or exchange has selected Bitcoin Cash, not Bitcoin.
Native asset and tokens
BCH is the native asset and fee unit. Similar ancestry and some compatible-looking address encodings do not make BCH interchangeable with BTC.
Fees and transaction state
Fees depend on transaction size and the fee rate. A broadcast must be confirmed on Bitcoin Cash; a Bitcoin explorer does not describe BCH state.
Mainnet boundary
This catalog entry is Bitcoin Cash mainnet. Aperture’s production catalog does not expose testnet balances, endpoints, or transaction routes.
Receive safely
The network is part of the address.
In Aperture, choose Bitcoin Cash and the exact asset before copying an address or QR code. The sender, exchange, or bridge must use the same mainnet. A matching symbol, logo, or familiar-looking string does not prove compatibility.
- Confirm the receive screen says Bitcoin Cash.
- Copy or scan the complete address; do not retype it.
- Check whether the sending service requires an additional memo, tag, or network-specific field.
- For a new route or meaningful amount, consider a small test transfer first.
- Keep the receive screen available until the sender has verified the same network.
Send deliberately
Review what the signature will authorize.
Aperture keeps asset selection, recipient validation, amount, fee review, authorization, broadcast, and finality as distinct stages. Before authorizing a transaction on Bitcoin Cash, review the full recipient, the BCH amount, and the network fee together.
Blockchain transfers may be irreversible. Aperture cannot cancel a confirmed transaction, recover an incorrect destination, or move an asset that was sent through the wrong network.
Transaction signing happens on the device. Public account data, fee requests, transaction history, and the signed transaction may reach network infrastructure; the private signing key is not part of the broadcast payload.
