Freewallet users receive Bitcoin Cash after August 1st hard fork

In an official statement, Freewallet, the developer of mobile user-friendly crypto-wallets, has announced that all users who had bitcoins prior to the hard fork have received their legal Bitcoin Cash (BCC or BCH) coins.

Bitcoin hard fork took place on 01 August 2017, splitting the network into two and creating a new cryptocurrency, Bitcoin Cash. Freewallet was the first to release a special wallet for the new cryptocurrency, launching Bitcoin Cash Freewallet on July, 29th.

Freewallet said that the interest for the app has been growing rapidly since the release day. It released the wallet beforehand in order to ensure customers confidence and to provide the access to the new asset in a timely manner. Right after the fork, all users who had BTC coins in their accounts were promptly credited with the same amount of Bitcoin Cash.

In addition, Freewallet it did not suspend bitcoin transactions and allowed all customers to make transactions and manage their portfolios before and after the hard fork. According to the crypto-wallet developer, this was achieved by deploying a timely solution created in close collaboration with Bitcoin developers.

“We are noticing a great interest in the new currency and are proud to be the first mobile wallet to support it. All Bitcoin holders on Freewallet received the equal amount of Bitcoin Cash. Freewallet was operating without any downtime both before and after the hard fork. We take pride in keeping the functionality up and running along with maintaining the high security level during the scaling measurements. Our support team continues receiving thank you letters and is ready to provide necessary consultations,” said Alvin Hagg, Freewallet’s co-founder.
