What the native network does

BSV claims to follow the original vision of the Bitcoin protocol as described in Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper. The project aims to provide a peer-to-peer electronic cash system with high scalability and stability. It is designed as a distributed data network to support advanced blockchain applications for enterprises.

To achieve this, the network removed artificial block size limits and re-enabled Script commands that were restricted in the BTC blockchain. These changes purportedly allow the network to process tens of thousands of transactions per second. This design is intended to keep transaction fees low for micropayments. The network also supports tokens, computation, and smart contracts.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

BSV is a native coin and is not a token on another platform. You must verify the withdrawal network supported by your exchange or wallet to avoid loss of funds.

Users can use the Bitcoin SV explorer to check addresses and transactions. For those who want to inspect the implementation, the source code is available on GitHub.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Deposit and withdrawal support for the exchanges listed above is not verified. You should check the current status of deposits and withdrawals on the exchange before transferring funds.

Account features and KYC requirements vary by country. A common mistake is assuming that every exchange listing BSV supports the same network or has the same withdrawal limits. Always verify the network and country restrictions before opening an account.
