Dear Wanchain Community,
April has been a massive month for the Wanchain ecosystem as WanBridge has surpassed the $1 Billion total cross-chain volume mark! This past month brought along multiple new token and blockchain integrations, a brand new WanBridge UI, a massive $WAN giveaway, as well as a new marketing manager! Let’s dive right into the updates!
WanBridge surpasses $1 billion in total cross-chain volume!
Ever since Wanchain launched way back in 2017, the team has been building bridges non-stop. From EVM to non-EVM, from Ethereum to Bitcoin, from $0 to $1 billion in volume, WanBridge has only just begun! As we surpass this major milestone, we now have our sights set on $10 billion. We will not stop until we’ve connected ALL blockchains!
See what Wanchain’s CEO has to say about this milestone here.
