Wanchain (WAN)
Wanchain is a public blockchain that supports the development of smart contracts using Solidity. It incorporates ring signature-based private transactions and decentralized cross-chain functionality.
Overview
Wanchain offers a blockchain infrastructure featuring cross-chain interoperability, privacy, and full smart-contract capabilities. It allows both public and private blockchains to connect and facilitate inter-ledger asset transfers. The network operates on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm. The Wanchain token is used for staking in PoS and cross-chain bridging nodes, as well as for transaction fees.
Supported tokens
Wanchain supports the following tokens:
- Bitcoin
- Ethereum
- Maker (MKR)
- Dai (DAI)

WAN token
WAN, also known as Wancoin, is the native currency of Wanchain. It powers all transactions, cross-chain activities, and smart contracts on Wanchain. WAN is utilized as a stake in the PoS system and serves as a bond for Wanchain’s cross-chain Storeman nodes. Unlike ERC-20 tokens, WAN and Wanchain-based tokens have distinct characteristics.
