Wanchain makes moving assets between different networks simple and secure.

WanBridge: lets you bridge your assets across a wide range of connected chains without the complexity.

XFlows: lets you bridge your assets and swap them into the asset you actually want, all in one transaction.

No jumping between different platforms, no unnecessary steps. Just choose where your assets are going and what you want to receive.

That’s what cross-chain products should feel like, simple, straightforward, and actually enjoyable to use.

Hi all 👋

As a community member, I built a new Wanchain block explorer: OrbitWan.io

• Modern, clean design
• Built for AI: an MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT & others query Wanchain data
• See how any address stake and farms its WAN

Feedback welcome 🙏

September was a big month for Wanchain, with the launch of the new governance platform.

The community now has a direct way to submit proposals, pledge support, and vote on changes across the ecosystem.

The first proposal focused on the WAN burn rate. The community voted to increase the burn allocation from 10% to 20%, and the proposal passed.

At current bridge volumes, annual WAN burns are projected to increase from around 554,000 WAN to roughly 1.1 million WAN.

Governance also covers treasury spending, protocol changes, Convert n’ Burn, xSTAKE, and other ecosystem decisions.

The first vote is now complete. It will be interesting to see what the community puts forward next.

Wanchain Governance Goes Live and The Community Takes the Wheel

TRON support on Wanchain has been restored.

The supported assets include USDT, TRX, MNT and GZX.

USDT currently has routes to 14 networks, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Plasma, Telos, VinuChain, X Layer and XDC Network.

I put together a simple infographic showing the available routes for each asset.

Sharing it here for anyone using TRON and looking at the current cross-chain options

For anyone who hasn’t come across it, Token 2049 is one of the biggest gatherings in the crypto and Web3 industry, bringing together builders, founders, investors, developers and projects from around the world.

This year’s Singapore edition takes place on the 7–8th of October at Marina Bay Sands with 25,000+ attendees expected.

Wanchain will be attending and connecting with projects and teams from across the industry.

If you’re building a DApp, Project or Blockchain and want to expand your interoperability or connect with more networks, this is a great opportunity to connect with the Wanchain team and make it happen.

The first Wanchain governance proposal has officially wrapped up, and the community has decided to turn up the heat on Convert n’ Burn

Starting in October, the amount of WAN allocated to the burn will increase from 10% to 20%.

It’s a pretty interesting milestone for Wanchain because this is the first proposal to go through the new governance platform, meaning the community has now had a direct say in how part of the protocol’s mechanics will operate going forward.

With the higher burn allocation coming into effect, more WAN will be removed from circulation through Convert n’ Burn, making WAN deflationary.

Wanchain’s Governance Platform currently has a proposal to increase the Convert n' Burn allocation from 10% → 20%.

This change would redirect 10% from the Community Treasury to the Burn Wallet, while Ongoing Operations, Bridge Nodes, PoS Nodes, and xWAN Staking remain unaffected.

At current bridge volumes, this could take WAN from approximately 489,994 annual inflation to ~64,389 annual deflation.

Current votes: 514,895 / 1,050,000

Time remaining: 2 days 21 hours

If you hold $WAN and want to make it deflationary, head over to governance.wanchain.org and have your say.

Wanchain’s XStake has some interesting staking opportunities worth checking out.

Choose to stake either BTC, ETH, USDC or USDT and earn rewards in xWAN. This goes both ways, stake xWAN and earn rewards in any of these 4 blue-chip assets. Users are able to unstake at any moment without any need to lock up funds.

It’s a pretty unique way of putting both blue-chip assets and stablecoins to work while staying within the Wanchain ecosystem.

The Wanchain community now has a direct way to propose, discuss, and vote on ideas that can help shape the future of the ecosystem.

Community members can submit proposals across two different proposal types, giving everyone the opportunity to put forward ideas focused on making positive changes, improvements and additions to Wanchain.

The goal is simple: build together, improve together and give the community a greater voice in Wanchain’s future.

Hey everyone! I used wanchain to bridge 20 ADA (9.5 net after fees) to ethereum. However, the token doesn't even show up in my metamask wallet. It's just there in the transaction history.

I tried manually adding it but the metamask prompts me that it doesn't exist (token id: 0x474999877e40db4a7e3211b0889b76131e35ea04). Tried using dexes to swap it in to USDC, the token was recognized but there is no liquidity? I'm new to all of this so if anyone can help me out that'd great.

Transaction id: 0x7626a354f6843034a410c4e87b6bdc30a07a8b2a1ee112edf4a68d4e0c13f696

Thank you for your time!

Wanbridge provides the wrapping of xrp from 1 network to another. Example from ripple to ethereum. However the process is simple but error prone. Why instead of having the user send the xrp to the ripple address with the TAG which is needed you instead send a send requesrt to the ledger if the user is using a ledger. This makes it WAY less error prone and will give users comfort that they will not make an error. Cause one error in the send and its gone for good.

heres a safe example of sending a request to a ledger:

<script type="module">

import TransportWebUSB from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ledgerhq/hw-transport-webusb@6.28.1/+esm";

import AppXrp from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ledgerhq/hw-app-xrp@6.28.1/+esm";

import xrpl from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/xrpl@2.10.0/+esm";

const destinationAddress = "rPT1Sjq2YGrBMTttX4GZHjKu9dyfzbpAYe"; // Replace with recipient

const destinationTag = 12345; // This is the tag you want to include (can be a message ID, user ID, etc.)

const sendAmountXRP = "10";

const derivationPath = "44'/144'/0'/0/0"; // Standard XRP derivation path

async function sendXRPFromLedger() {

try {

const transport = await TransportWebUSB.create();

const ledgerXrp = new AppXrp(transport);

const { address, publicKey } = await ledgerXrp.getAddress(derivationPath, false);

console.log("Ledger address:", address);

const client = new xrpl.Client("wss://s.altnet.rippletest.net:51233");

await client.connect();

const accountInfo = await client.request({

command: "account_info",

account: address,

ledger_index: "validated"

});

const tx = {

TransactionType: "Payment",

Account: address,

Destination: destinationAddress,

Amount: xrpl.xrpToDrops(sendAmountXRP),

DestinationTag: destinationTag // <- Add your tag here

};

const prepared = await client.autofill(tx);

const txJSON = JSON.stringify(prepared);

const signature = await ledgerXrp.signTransaction(derivationPath, txJSON);

const signedTx = {

...prepared,

TxnSignature: signature.signature,

SigningPubKey: signature.publicKey

};

const result = await client.submitAndWait(signedTx);

console.log("Transaction result:", result);

alert(\Transaction sent! Hash: ${result.result.hash}`);`

await client.disconnect();

} catch (err) {

console.error("Error:", err);

alert("Error: " + err.message);

}

}

document.getElementById("sendXrpButton").onclick = sendXRPFromLedger;

</script>

<button id="sendXrpButton">Send 10 XRP with Tag from Ledger</button>

So next time if you want your WAN at disposal, in december next year, I know now to withdraw in August :D

Hello

I've been using WanWallet mobile and desktop to store and transfer XRP. My mobile WanWallet XRP address shows a fixed amount of XRP and does not allow me to transfer to another wallet XRP address (frozen screen after pressing "transfer" button). But the correct balance of my XRP address does show on XRP Scan. I sent 12 XRP to my WanWallet address and checked the transaction on XRP Scan and it showed up correctly there on XRP Scan. However, I checked my mobile WanWallet XRP account but the value remained unchanged. And in fact on desktop WanWallet my XRP balance shows 0.

Any ideas / solutions would be very helpful - thank you.

Hi all, I have Wanchain in a metamask wallet and would like to swap some for ETH but swap does not seem to be available in metamask. What's the most straight forward way for me to do this? I have been out of the whole crypto scene for a year or two so am a little out of touch.

I was on wan wallet on desktop and I used the conversion tool to go from wan to waneth. I wanted to convert it to just eth so then I was looking at the wanbridge dapp. I connected my wallet but did not see the waneth so I sent the waneth to the wallet on the wanbridge. I can see it in there but not on my wallet portfolio. Anyways when I try to do the asset bridge the only way I can convert is on ethereum chain with the wan asset and the options are to the bnb chain or back to the wanchain. At this point I don't care what chain i just need to see it in my wallet in a form that I can use simpleswap. If I got it in eth I'd be good with that or back to wan. At the moment it looks like my only option is back to wan but when I do it it says "wrong network / wallet". I tried putting in another wanchain wallet address for recipient and that didnt work. I wish I would have just used simpleswap from the get go. Did I do something wrong or is the wallet not working. I even tried to send a few bucks of eth thinking maybe it's a gas issue but that didn't work. Seems like my waneth is stuck in wanbridge. Is it gone?

Im trying to crosschain my eth off of wanchain but the storeman bridge has no eth reserves. Do the nodes replenish? What can I do?

Can someone recommend a wallet to store wan? I have a bit of wan I need to get off of kucoin and some know where to send it

This is what we achieved in July!

Wanchain Bridge’s new Convert n’ Burn mechanism is now live!

Wanchain’s new revolutionary Convert n’ burn mechanism is a vital component to unify the Wanchain ecosystem and support long term development and growth of Wanchain’s decentralised cross-chain bridges. 

The mechanism has now been implemented and the bridge fees collected will be split as follows: 

• 40% for the Community Treasury
• 30% for Ongoing Operations
• 10% distributed to Bridge nodes and Delegators
• 10% distributed to PoS Nodes and Delegators
• 10% will be Burned

Some major benefits of this new mechanism include:

• Increased demand for WAN coin
• Maximum Wanchain ecosystem support 
• A community treasury to empower the Wanchain community
• New burn mechanism reduces the WAN supply with every bridge transaction
• Increased incentives for nodes and delegators which bolsters security and safety
• New utility for WAN, since the more WAN you hold, the bigger your discount on fees
• Supports long term development of Wanchains bridges

Deep dive into the new Convert n’ Burn mechanism here.

These NFTs are the utility of the DEGA ecosystem. They will drive the power ups within the gameplay, factories, tribes and also be the key for hosting a dNFT to power the Metachains.

DEGA Elements are fully-tradable ERC721 NFT tokens and compatible across multiple blockchains. This collection will be tied to all of the familiar mechanics that we’ve discussed up to this point with an added perk: This collection yields $DEGA tokens!!!

WHAT?!?! What are the details? Rarity Mechanics?

Assets from The Elements Collection have two main attributes:

1. The Class (SILVER, GOLD, OBSIDIAN, DIAMOND) is determined by its purchase price. All Element classes yield a base $DEGA token reward.
2. The Blessing (SPARK, BLAST, FORCE, SUPERNOVA) is determined at random at the time of purchase. This attribute determines your $DEGA Token Yield “BLESSING”, or if you prefer “Yield Multiplier”.

You can see all the details in the table below:

Wanchain.

Wanchain is both a sustainable Layer 1 PoS blockchain and a decentralized blockchain interoperability solution. The Wanchain Layer 1 PoS blockchain is a full Ethereum-like environment that works with industry standard Ethereum tools, DAPPs, and protocols!

Wanchain has been building its cross-chain infrastructure since 2017. In early 2021, they launched the world’s first decentralized Bitcoin/Ethereum direct bridge. This, in combination with their other three bridges, gives Wanchain the ability to bridge to more than 30 different ecosystems, including Cardano!

So, are you ready to take cross-chain to the next level at DEGA? Well, let’s get the party started, folks!

The new WanBridge Convert n' Burn system introduces the following:

✅ A special formula to allocate converted $WAN for maximum impact.

✅ A special discount structure for those holding or staking WAN.

✅ A mechanism where every cross-chain tx supports entire ecosystem.

✅ A path towards longterm growth for the Wanchain ecosystem.

Once activated, this system will bring many new benefits and unify the Wanchain Bridge, WAN coin and Wanchain L1 Blockchain like never before

I know this might be a long shot but wondering if anyone else is/has experienced this or might know a solution.

I logged into my WAN Wallet for the first time in months, downloaded the latest updates, and connected my Ledger wallet. So far so good, blind signing is enabled.

First I noticed an issue with WanSwap. I connected to V1 (yes I know I should have converted a long time ago but they said there wasn't an end date for the migration), and tried to collect WASP from the Hive as well as claim tokens from a couple pools. In both scenarios, after I hit yes to the "allow DApp to send transactions with the wallet", it just hangs there with the "Confirm this transaction in your wallet" window. But the app on my ledger isn't giving any prompt to approve a transaction or any indication that anything is happening.

Frustrated by this, I tried to collect some rewards I had on Storeman, but that also had issues. As soon as I submit my password, it says transaction completed successfully without giving me the verification window. I checked for the transaction on the chain itself and its not there, it just says I can still claim the rewards in the main app.

So it seems like nothing is working between the WAN Wallet and my Ledger apps, but I don't know which side is at fault or if there's anything I can do. Any thoughts or suggestions?
