Wanchain Discloses Information through Due Diligence Provider Xangle

By practicing disclosure on Xangle, we are tackling information distortion and working to ensure that the public has the information they need to make informed decisions. As a part of this partnership, Wanchain went through a strict due diligence process by Xangle to publish a report which will be made available to Xangle’s partner exchanges. Exchanges will have access to this regularly updated institutional grade report to perform continued evaluation of projects before and while they are listed.
