Wanchain Roadmap 2020
2019 β 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 Wanchainβs 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.
