Let's take a look at the top updates from March!
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 heterogeneous (meaning the blockchains are being built with fundamentally different technological architectures — consensus mechanisms, smart contract languages, etc.).
USDT Hits the Wanchain Mainnet
Wanchain has successfully implemented the mainnet cross-chain integration of USDT , the largest stablecoin by market cap. As a stablecoin USDT with the largest number of users and the most abundant application scenarios, this cross-chain connection paves the way for the creation of new applications and more integrations with the wider ecosystem.
Strategic Cooperation updates
Strategic Cooperation Established with Bitllywood, a Leading Blockchain Based Film IP Platform
The China Based Blockchain Platform Leverages Wanchain to Protect Intellectual Property Related to Films
In March of 2020, Wanchain has reached a strategic cooperation with Bitllywood, the Beijing based film IP blockchain services provider.
The two parties worked together to establish a blockchain based model for the protection of intellectual property related to film and television.
The model works to realize the protection of various forms of intellection property including video, images, music, text, and other formats, and to allow for the blockchain based circulation of such intellectual property.

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.
