We are excited to announce that the voting for Bitcoin Unlimited Improvement Proposals (BUIPs) 209, 210, and 211 has successfully concluded with all proposals receiving approval. These proposals which outline significant dedication for the organization’s future have passed.
BUIP209: B.U. Long-term Mission Focus on NEXA 7:0:0 passed
BUIP210: Re-elect Peter R for Bitcoin Unlimited Secretary 7:0:0 passed
BUIP211: Continuing the Publication Grant to Ledger Journal 6:0:0 passed
BUIP209: B.U. Long-term Mission Focus on NEXA
BUIP209 formalizes Bitcoin Unlimited’s long-term focus on NEXA, the cryptocurrency that the organization has been developing since 2022. This proposal sets B.U.'s development and marketing priorities on NEXA for the next decade (2024–2033). While B.U. has played a pivotal role in supporting Bitcoin Cash (BCH), the proposal acknowledges that BCH has become a mature network with extensive ecosystem support. Therefore, B.U.'s resources will now be directed exclusively toward NEXA, while allowing for potential volunteer-driven support for BCH, particularly in maintaining compatibility with future hard forks.
This shift represents a strategic realignment, reinforcing NEXA as the core mission of Bitcoin Unlimited.

BUIP210: Re-elect Peter R for Bitcoin Unlimited Secretary
Peter R has been re-elected as Secretary of Bitcoin Unlimited for another two-year term, continuing his long-standing commitment to the organization’s leadership. In his role, Peter will ensure responsible and efficient management of B.U.’s funds, as he has done over the past eight years. He will also remain focused on B.U.'s overarching goal of promoting the widespread adoption of peer-to-peer electronic cash systems, with an emphasis on NEXA.
In addition to administrative duties, Peter will continue exploring advanced research, particularly in FPGA and ASIC hardware, which could enhance cryptocurrency scalability. His re-election ensures stability and ongoing progress in B.U.'s operations.

BUIP211: Continuing the Publication Grant to Ledger Journal
BUIP211 extends Bitcoin Unlimited’s support for the Ledger Journal, an academic journal dedicated to blockchain and cryptocurrency research. Previously supported through BUIP163, this proposal seeks to continue funding the journal’s Managing Editor position for three more years. The grant has enabled Ledger to weather recent challenges, including the pandemic and the “crypto winter,” allowing it to maintain high-quality academic publications.
The journal has grown under the leadership of Professor Claudio J. Tessone and is increasingly recognized as a key platform for blockchain research. BU’s continued support aligns with its commitment to fostering knowledge and innovation within the cryptocurrency space. Additionally, Ledger is working towards financial independence by developing partnerships and introducing author-fee models to support its operations.
