Bitcoin Additional Launches BTCa v2: Upgraded Blockchain with Ethical PoS Consensus and Enhanced Ecomining

Bitcoin Additional (BTCa), a blockchain fork of Bitcoin built on Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Islamic ethical principles, announces the launch of BTCa v2, a major network upgrade designed to strengthen scalability, reliability, and accessibility for the global Muslim community and ethical investors.

Key Upgrade Highlights

  • Masternode Collateral – Running a masternode now requires 1 BTCa collateral only, opening access to a wider pool of investors.
  • Block Rewards – Each masternode validating transactions will earn 0.001 BTCa per block, distributed automatically.
  • Total Supply – Capped at 210,000 BTCa, with minting set at one coin per 1,000 minutes (0.001 BTCa/min).
  • Pre-mine Allocation – Approximately 2,200 BTCa pre-mined and fully distributed to active masternodes.

New Features in BTCa v2

  • Improved Ecomining – Lower entry thresholds and optimized staking-like yield generation.
  • Multi-node Capability – Increased efficiency for masternode operations.
  • Lightweight Wallets – New wallets consume fewer server resources.
  • Reliability Boost – Enhanced stability and security for node operators and users.
  • All tokens minted previously on Bitcoin Additional v.1 will be swapped  1:1 – all BTCa holders will receive a new BTCa v2.

Why BTCa Matters

BTCa was launched in 2022 to enable fair, low-cost, and transparent microtransactions, particularly for charitable giving (zakat, sadaqah, personal aid). Unlike Bitcoin, where high fees and slow transaction speed hinder small transfers, BTCa provides:

  • Low fees suitable for distributing small donations.
  • Fast transaction finality for community use cases.
  • A system aligned with Shariah principles by avoiding interest, excessive speculation, and unjust enrichment.

For over three years, BTCa has powered blockchain-based charity and integrated with the Quan2um ecosystem, with adoption across Central Asia, the Caucasus, Middle East, Turkey, and Africa.
