Top updates from the month of April!
Wanchain Community,
April proved to be yet another productive month for not only Wanchain, but the whole Wanchain ecosystem! With new integrations, new partnerships, and some major development updates, let’s get right into it!
On April 15th, the Wanchain Mainnet underwent a hardfork dubbed “Jupiter”. This hardfork makes Wanchain fully compatible with Ethereum. This paves the way for the launch of Wanchain’s highly anticipated Ethereum Layer-2 solution. The “Jupiter” hard fork also gives Wanchain access to popular Ethereum-based tools such as MetaMask. A full guide on getting started with MetaMask on Wanchain network can be found here.
