Dear Wanchain Community,
August has been a monumental month, not just for the Wanchain ecosystem, but for the wider crypto space as a whole! This month brought along many new updates and integrations, most notably the Cardano integration! Wanchain has deployed decentralised, non-custodial, permissionless cross-chain bridges to Cardano, connecting the Cardano ecosystem to 11 major networks! Let’s dive right into the big Cardano news, and all the other ecosystem updates!
The big Cardano Update - bridging Cardano to 11 networks!
Wanchain has deployed new decentralised, non-custodial cross-chain bridges connecting the Cardano mainnet to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Astar, Avalanche, BNB Chain, OKT Chain, Optimism, Polygon, Tron and Wanchain. Users can now use ADA on Ethereum, and BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT and WAN on Cardano.
Wanchain’s Cardano Bridges create new opportunities for developers and users as ADA and other native Cardano tokens can be used with any Web3 application on any EVM-compatible network. Further to this, ADA, BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, and WAN can now all be brought to Cardano. Of note, this is the first time that fiat-backed stablecoins, in the form of USDT and USDC, are available on the Cardano mainnet!
