Updates from December 2023
Top updates from the month of December!
Dear Wanchain Community,
There’s no doubt that 2023 has been a monumental year for Wanchain, including Wanchain’s decentralised bridges, and the ecosystem as a whole. This past year has been incredible in terms of development as WanBridge has expanded to a whopping 30+ different chains in total! XFlows has seen massive expansion this year too as USDT USDC, ETH and BTC XFlows launched on many new chains. We also saw bridge volume surpass $700M. Without further ado, let’s jump right into Wanchain’s most prominent updates for 2023!
