Wanchain is trying to create a broader market for digital assets by establishing connections between various standalone chains. The platform has been able to develop a series of applications via smart contracts, security systems and its own coin (WAN).

Most cross-chain transactions are completed through third-party platforms. Wanchain’s uniqueness lies in its decentralization. The platform employs multi-party computing and threshold secret-sharing technology to manage accounts autonomously.

The platform has three major cross-chain functionalities. One of these functionalities is the registration module. It also possesses a cross-chain transaction data transmission module and a transaction status query module. The three components are involved from the start to the end of a connection. Similar projects to Wanchain include Ripple (XRP) and ICON (ICX).

The native token of the platform, WAN, is used in payments and on-chain governance. The total amount of tokens sold during the initial coin offering (ICO) was 107,100,000, worth about 120,000 ETH at the time. The maximum supply is 210,000,000 WAN, while the circulating supply is 169,028,581 WAN as of March 2021.

39% of the total supply of tokens has been allocated to the founders of the project, 51% to the investors, and 10% to airdrops and rewards. WAN is used for transactions both within the parent chain and across chains.

WAN is a fork of Ethereum and uses proof-of-stake (PoS). Wainchain issued ERC-20 WAN tokens to all ICO participants. When the mainnet launched in 2018, the ERC-20 token was adapted to Wanchain’s native chain.

The platform’s validation nodes are divided into Vouchers (verify cross-chain transactions), Storemen (manage locked accounts) and Validators (perform regular verifications). Nodes need to stake WAN before they can validate transactions on the network. The locked accounts are created through cryptographic encryption.

WAN tokens can be purchased on exchanges such as:

• Binance
• KuCoin
• Huobi Global

Validators can also earn WAN as a reward for validating transactions.
