Meet Chronicle – the final step in restoring BSV to the original Bitcoin Protocol.
The mandatory upgrade honours our vision of a pure, unrestricted protocol, breaks down unnecessary barriers & allowing developers to innovate without limits.
Breakdown & documentation below.

✅ All Chronicle behavior is OPT-IN.
This design ensures stability for wallets, businesses & users.
To opt in to the new rules, transactions must:
► Use the new CHRONICLE sighash flag [0x20], or
► Have a transaction version > 1 [0x01000000]
Existing apps continue to work without changes.
MANDATORY UPGRADE: All nodes must update to support Chronicle.
Nodes that don’t will no longer follow the main network. Stay current to ensure connectivity & compatibility.
With protocol freedom, Chronicle empowers developers to build the next generation of BSV apps.
