Wanchain is a Layer 1 blockchain whose purpose is connecting other blockchains. It runs its own proof-of-stake network and, on top of it, a set of decentralized bridges that move assets between chains with no native way to talk to each other. The project's framing is that the industry will not converge on one chain, so the useful thing to build is the connective tissue between them.
WAN is the native coin of that Layer 1. It pays gas, secures the chain through staking, and is the collateral bridge node operators must post to be allowed to hold cross-chain assets.
This is a long-running project, which raises a fair question about whether anything is still being built. It is. Verified on September 11, 2026, the Wanchain mainnet RPC reports chain ID 0x378, which is 888 in decimal, running node software gwan/v3.0.3 built on June 24, 2026, and the project's GitHub organization shows commits on the day this page was written. Wanchain is an actively maintained network, not an abandoned one.

Wanchain was founded in 2017 by Jack Lu, who had previously co-founded Factom. The project raised through a token sale that year and launched its mainnet in January 2018, making it one of the older interoperability networks still operating.
Its arc explains the current product. An early phase focused on privacy-preserving cross-chain transactions between a few chains. The Jupiter hard fork then made the chain fully EVM compatible, with EIP-155 and later EIP-1559 support. The current phase has moved the center of gravity away from the Layer 1 itself and toward the bridge network, which now connects dozens of chains, most of which are not Wanchain.
Two systems run in parallel and it is important not to conflate them.
Galaxy Consensus secures the Layer 1. Galaxy Consensus is Wanchain's proof-of-stake protocol, derived from Ouroboros with modified randomness generation and block production. It uses two stake-weighted groups. Random Number Proposers run a distributed key generation and signing process across three phases to produce a shared random number no single participant can bias. Epoch Leaders use that randomness, via a Unique Leader Selection algorithm, to determine anonymously which member proposes each slot's block. Slots are grouped into epochs and rewards are split between the two groups.
Bridge nodes secure cross-chain transfers. The bridges do not rely on a company holding keys. A decentralized group of bridge node operators, historically called Storeman nodes, jointly control cross-chain assets using secure multiparty computation and a threshold signature scheme. No operator ever holds a complete key, and a threshold of the group must cooperate to sign a release. Operators post staked WAN as overcollateralization against the assets they secure, and the group is rotated and re-elected on a recurring cycle so membership does not calcify.
Applications sit on top. WanBridge handles asset transfers, XFlows handles cross-chain liquidity routing, and XStake handles delegated staking. Because the chain is EVM compatible, standard Solidity contracts and Ethereum wallets work against it directly.

Supply works differently from most proof-of-stake networks and is worth stating precisely. Wanchain documents a total of 210 million WAN, and staking rewards are not funded by new issuance. The documentation is explicit: rewards come from a fixed 21 million WAN allocation, being 10 percent of total supply, set aside by the Wanchain Foundation, released on a declining schedule that starts at 2.5 million WAN in the first year and falls by 12 percent annually, alongside transaction fees. So WAN staking does not dilute holders the way an inflationary model does, but the reward pool is finite and shrinking, which means long-run validator economics have to shift toward fee revenue.
Wanchain's bridge security is cryptographic and economic rather than custodial. Many bridges are, in practice, a multisignature wallet operated by a known set of parties. Wanchain distributes key material so that no operator ever reconstructs a full key, requires a threshold to act, forces operators to overcollateralize with staked WAN, and rotates the group periodically. Its reach is the second differentiator: the bridges connect networks with very different transaction models, including Bitcoin, XRP Ledger, Cardano, Polkadot and Solana alongside the usual EVM set, and supporting non-EVM chains is substantially harder than supporting another rollup.
Security has two separable surfaces:
Bridges remain one of the most attacked components in the industry. Wanchain's design reduces specific well-understood failure modes, particularly single-key compromise and static operator sets. It does not make cross-chain transfer risk-free.
Wanchain built a decentralized cross-chain bridge before most of the industry treated interoperability as a distinct problem, and it is still shipping code eight years later. For anyone studying how cross-chain security can be built without a custodian, its use of multiparty computation with staked collateral and rotating operators remains an instructive reference implementation.
WAN is listed on a range of centralized exchanges and also trades on decentralized venues on Wanchain and on chains where a bridged representation exists. Availability, pairs and regional access vary by venue.
WAN is often available on:
Common pairs include WAN/USDT and WAN/BTC where supported.
After purchase, WAN can be held:
Mind the distinction between native WAN on chain ID 888 and bridged WAN representations on other networks. They are not interchangeable at the address level, and sending one to the other's address will not deliver funds.
