Dear Wanchain Community,
February has been a huge month for Wanchain, as Jack Lu transitions to an advisory role and Temujin Louie gets appointed as the new CEO of Wanchain. The future of the project is looking bright as the new face of Wanchain will push it far and wide. We also saw a new integration this month, the approval of the catalyst proposal with Maestro, as well as a slew of other updates. Let’s dive right in!

Official Tweet
$800M in total cross-chain volume surpassed!
Next up, $900M, then the big milestone of $1B. With more than 6 years of uninterrupted uptime, and zero exploits, Wanbridge knows no limits!
Thank you to our community for supporting us through along our journey!
Catalyst Proposal with Maestro Approved!
Wanchain is humbled to share that the catalyst proposal with Maestro has been approved! Many from the Cardano governance community saw the potential in letting users trigger any on-chain logic on Cardano from any EVM network using any EVM wallet, and so many voted in support of the proposal leading to its approval.
Thank you for your support and votes!

Wanbridge updates
Following Circle’s announcement of the discontinuation of support for USDC on the Tron Blockchain, Wanchain’s USDC XFlows and cross-chain infrastructure will also discontinue support for this asset.
All other routes to and from the Tron Blockchain are unaffected, and Tron is still supported on WanBridge.
