Bitcoin Cash Network Activates Layla Upgrade with Turing-Complete Scripting

The Bitcoin Cash community has successfully activated the Layla Upgrade, a significant development that brings Turing-complete scripting language to the network. This upgrade expands Layer 1 decentralized finance capabilities, allowing for more complex financial primitives and smart contracts.

One of the key features of the Layla Upgrade is the introduction of post-quantum security support through Quantumroot technology. This adds an additional layer of protection against quantum computer attacks, ensuring that wallets can securely store BCH, CashTokens, and DeFi assets on Android and iOS devices.

The rollout enables new on-chain applications such as decentralized exchanges, perpetual futures trading, prediction markets, stablecoin lending, and AI agent micropayments. These features are made possible by the x402 payment protocol, which allows for seamless AI agent and API monetization.
