Updates from February 2020
Wanchain Community,
As we head into the third month of 2020, the Wanchain team continues to work around the clock and delivers the much-anticipated EOS integration on mainnet. WRDEX also begins phase 3 trials with mobile wallets. Wanchain also recently announced the Quarterly Writing Competition - do you have a good understanding of Wanchain and enjoy writing technical articles? Read on if you'd like to earn some WAN for your writing skills!
Let's take a look at the top updates from February!
Remember, hunting is still on!
Cross-chain EOS Has Hit the Mainnet!
The integration of WEOS to the Wanchain network is a significant step forward for Wanchain. As the second-largest smart contract and DAPP platform after Ethereum, EOS in an incredibly important segment of the public blockchain ecosystem, both economically and technologically. The Wanchain community looks forward to more interactions and integrations with the EOS community and ecosystem moving forward, and we welcome the EOS community and developers to work together with us! We encourage EOS users to check out the Wanchain wallet and explore both its EOS based functions as well as the WEOS cross-chain implementation on the Wanchain blockchain itself.
The WEOS token is now available for cross-chain transactions on the Wanchain mainnet! You can now manage your native EOS account, including CPU, NET, and RAM, directly through the Wanchain wallet, and can transact with cross-chain WEOS tokens on the Wanchain Mainnet through the Wan Wallet’s cross-chain interface.
Wanchain 4.0 T-Bridge Framework Tech Explainer: Part 1 — General Overview
One of Wanchain’s core missions is to tackle the tough challenge of blockchain interoperability. The importance of cross-chain interoperability has only grown more apparent with the proliferation of different public and private blockchains. The problem is compounded by the fact that many popular blockchains are heterogenous (meaning the blockchains are built with fundamentally different technological architectures — consensus mechanisms, smart contract languages, etc.).

Wanchain Founder Jack Lu — The 2019 Novel Coronavirus Epidemic & its Affect on the Blockchain Industry
In early 2020 China was unexpectedly hit with the 2019 Novel Coronavirus epidemic, which not only threatens the lives and health of the people throughout the country but also poses a considerable challenge for economic development. The blockchain industry is not immune.
In light of the epidemic, Mars Finance has launched a series of articles — “Industry Watch: China’s Blockchain Industry in the Epidemic,” in which prominent figures from the industry directly address the current status of the industry in light of the epidemic.

Wanchain and blockchain Interoperability
Interoperability Research and Development
Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) formed a Cross-chain Interoperability Task Force (CITF) to tackle the increasingly important challenges in bridging public and private blockchains.
Wanchain is excited to be collaborating with Consensys, Clearmatics, and other EEA members on this.
Cross-chain Interoperability Integration
STASIS will bring the EURS stablecoin beyond Ethereum to Bitcoin and EOS blockchains via Wanchain
Interoperability Overview Series
Wanchain strengthens the blockchain space through interoperability (Part 1)
Since the inception of Bitcoin in 2009, blockchain technology has transformed tremendously. Bitcoin — as the most well-known cryptocurrency — has paved the way for decentralized P2P networks, smart contracts, DAGs, and practical enterprise use cases. Blockchain, as a whole, has allowed greater transparency, efficiency, and security. These are some of the critical factors for enterprises when evaluating new services and solutions.
Nevertheless, there is one prominent area that needs more focus — blockchain interoperability. Blockchain interoperability means that different networks (blockchains) can freely share value and data outside of their ecosystems.

Ambassador Program Updates
A few months have gone by since we first introduced the Global Ambassador Program. Throughout this time, we have seen significant work, dedication, and enthusiasm from many of our community ambassadors. We are delighted with the results and look forward to working even more closely with everyone.
Wanchain Roadmap 2020
2019 — Galaxy Consensus Was Born
2019 was a pivotal year for Wanchain; most notably our consensus mechanism was upgraded from permissioned proof of work (PPOW) to proof of stake (POS) using Galaxy PoS Consensus. The new POS consensus mechanism developed by Wanchain’s research team and draws from the research done by IOHK for Cardano with the Ouroboros proof of stake algorithm.
2020 - Focus on Applications
While 2019 was all about Galaxy Consensus, in 2020, we are making a significant pivot to focus on making Wanchain a better choice for dApp developers. This will be done both through additional tools that make the Wanchain dApp building process more accessible than ever, as well as upgrades to GWAN, the Wanchain core protocol client.
