Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash increases the block limit to 8 MB. This immediately increases the number of transactions that can be processed in one block to a much larger number as compared to 1 MB limit in original Bitcoin protocol. It uses PoW as consensus algorithm, and mining hardware is still ASIC based. The block interval is changed from 10 minutes to 10 seconds and up to 2 hours. It also provides replay protection and wipe-out protection.
