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.
