The BCH Bliss conference held on May 14-15 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, emerged as a pivotal event for Bitcoin Cash enthusiasts, marking the launch of the network’s groundbreaking adaptive block size limit through the "Jessica" upgrade. Jonathan Silverblood, co-founder of General Protocols and organizer of BCH Bliss 2024, highlighted the conference's significance in a recent YouTube video shared on social media, capturing the essence of the event.

Supported by BCH Bull, General Protocols, The Bitcoin Cash Podcast, Ravish, and Commercial Kitchen Stop, BCH Bliss 2024 showcased a diverse array of insights into Bitcoin Cash. Notable speakers included Calin Culianu, Dagur Valberg, Elliot Price, John Nieri, Kilian De Roovere, Mathieu Geukens, Ray Hatten, and Rosco Kalis. The conference featured panels discussing strategies for driving adoption among the next billion users, reflecting the community's proactive approach to expanding BCH's utility.

In a statement to Bitcoin.com News, Jonathan Silverblood emphasized the event's success in fostering deep technical discussions and practical demonstrations of BCH's real-world applications, from everyday transactions to conference ticket sales. "The Bliss 2024 conference celebrated the Bitcoin Cash upgrade to dynamic blocksize with thought-provoking presentations, deep technical discussions, and real-world use of BCH," remarked Silverblood.

The conference not only served as a platform for knowledge sharing but also facilitated networking opportunities that are expected to catalyze collaborative projects and innovations throughout the year. Builders and VIPs engaged in exclusive social events and networking sessions, harnessing the momentum generated by the Bitcoin Cash halving at block height 840,000.

Central to the discussions was the implementation of the adaptive block size limit (ABLA), a cornerstone of the "Jessica" upgrade. ABLA sets a base block size of 32 MB and dynamically adjusts based on network demand, preemptively increasing or decreasing block size limits to optimize network efficiency and reduce infrastructure costs.

As the BCH community looks ahead, buoyed by the success of BCH Bliss 2024 and the innovative strides made with the Jessica upgrade, optimism abounds for scaling efforts and widespread adoption. The commitment to technological advancement and community engagement positions Bitcoin Cash as a frontrunner in the evolving landscape of blockchain technology, poised for substantial growth and development in the coming years.
