Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Network – Fast, Low-Cost Transactions
Bitcoin Cash was created to offer faster transactions and cheaper fees than Bitcoin. It uses the same UTXO model, but with bigger block sizes, helping keep fees low even when the network is busy.
How Bitcoin Cash Fees Work
Your BCH transaction fee depends on:
The size of your transaction (measured in bytes)
Current network congestion
Edge connects to public Bitcoin Cash nodes to estimate a smart fee in satoshis per byte.
Example: Larger transactions (more inputs/outputs) cost a little more, but BCH fees stay very low overall.
Fee Options You Can Choose
High – Fastest confirmation, even during spikes
Optimal (default) – Smart balance of speed and cost
Low – Slowest confirmation, cheapest fee
Custom – Manually set your sat/byte fee
To adjust: Start a send → Tap fee settings gear → Choose your speed or enter a custom rate.
Average Cost
Sending BCH usually costs around $0.002 to $0.01 USD—almost nothing compared to Bitcoin!
Why It Matters
Bitcoin Cash is perfect for fast, cheap everyday payments. Edge helps you pick the right fee automatically so you always get great value without overpaying.
