Updates from January 2023

Top updates from the month of January!

Feb 01, 2023

Dear Wanchain Community,

Last year was ‘make it or break it’ year for many projects in the crypto space, but Wanchain remained true to its vision and delivered an almost endless list of updates. This new year will be no different as Wanchain continues to strengthen its position as an industry leader by expanding its bridge solution far and wide! 2023 started off with a bang, from new integrations to ecosystem updates to bridge upgrades, let’s dive right in!

ICYMI, get caught up on the 2022 year in review here.

XFlows - Native-to-native crosschain transfers will soon welcome a new coin!

Total crosschain transaction cost = less than $0.1

Total crosschain transaction cost = $0.15

Taking a look at the above two transactions, we see that XFlows enables native-to-native crosschain transfers for just a fraction of a dollar. WanBridge is a fully decentralised, non-custodial, trustless and permissionless solution for all your crosschain needs. XFlows is about to expand even further by adding native-to-native crosschain transfer support for one of the most popular coins, can you guess what it is? Let us know on our Telegram channel!

Keep an eye out on Wanchain’s Twitter page for the #WeAreAllConnected hashtag campaign where we hold XFlows crosschain transaction competitions where you, the users, can win various prizes like the one below for simply completing an XFlows crosschain transfer!

Network Upgrades and New Integrations

Wanchain Bridge Node upgrade coming on February 1st

A Bridge Node (Storeman) agent upgrade will take place on February 1st, 2023. This upgrade is necessary to add a new major blockchain network to Wanchain’s crosschain infrastructure and to introduce new security improvements. What could the new integration be? Take a guess on our Telegram channel! #Ultrasound

This upgrade will take place at 3:00 AM UTC, February 1st, 2023.

Regular users don’t need to do anything, however, crosschain transactions will be unavailable during while node operators update their nodes. Make sure to plan ahead!
Bridge node operators will need to upgrade their nodes, read more here.

Speaking of Nodes, it’s now easier than ever to run an RPC node using Flux!

FluxNodes are hosted on Enterprise-grade hardware, geographically-spaced around the world, ensuring a truly distributed computational platform.
