As the cryptocurrency market presses on during Q2, this week’s choices are set to benefit from network upgrades and project developments that should strengthen their market positions and also result in increased amounts of attention to their respective currencies over the coming weeks.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Bitcoin Cash was created on August 1st 2017 as a hard fork of Bitcoin. While being very similar to Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash uses a larger 32MB block size which allows each block to hold more transactions. High profile supporters of Bitcoin Cash include Roger Ver, a well-known investor who supported the proposal to increase the block size, which led to the creation of BCH.

Why Bitcoin Cash?

The Bitcoin Cash (BCH) network will be upgraded on May 15, and will result in a hard fork that will introduce an optional new way to sign BCH transactions. This method is called Schnorr Signatures and will improve security, privacy, and speed across network transactions. While Bitcoin Cash has fallen from the spotlight in recent times, the hardfork will be of interest of anyone who still holds or trades BCH and the team elaborate more here.

TomoChain also includes a 150-Masternode architecture with a Proof of Stake Voting (POSV) consensus for almost zero fee, instant transactions.

Why TomoChain?

The TomoChain team continue to stay hard at work and after launching their mainnet at the end of 2018, and switching to mainnet TOMO tokens, the team have announced partnerships with Lition, BlackCat and Morpheus Labs, as well as their first International Game Dappathon. They are also in the process of unveiling their P2P protocols including TomoX, TomoDEX, and TomoSWAP which will enable users to trade and exchange a range of digital assets while making use of TomoChain’s enhanced functionalities.

Nebulas (NAS)

Nebulas is a decentralized platform designed to facilitate the searching all blockchains. The NAS token provides incentives for PoD bookkeepers, and the team aim to also provide cross-chain search capabilities, and build an ecosystem that accurately reports the blockchain economy, and contains data analysis for market forecasting, and on-chain data monitoring and analysis for on-chain interactive marketing.

Why Nebulas?

The network will undergo an upgrade on May 6 that will support a NAT token airdrop. NAT is an NRC-20 token that will serve as the only voting medium within the Nebulas ecosystem governance, and all users with a Nebulas mainnet address can pledge their mainnet NAS to receive an airdrop based on their Nebulas Rank (NR) and take part in Nebulas on-chain voting to get NAT. The team have outlined the process here and mainnet users can pledge NAS via smart contract from May 5, 2019 (00:00, BJ time UTC+8).
