Updates from June 2023
Top updates from the month of June!
Dear Wanchain Community,
June has been an incredible month for the Wanchain Bridge, bringing along more BTC XFlows routes, as well as a powerful upgrade to USDC XFlows! We also saw new integrations, ecosystem updates, and the launch of a brand-new DEX! Without further ado, let’s get started!
Introducing more big WanBridge XFlows upgrades!
WBTC added to BTC XFlows!
WBTC has been added to BTC XFlows! This means that users can now cross-chain transfer BTC between Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as Avalanche, BNB Chain, and Wanchain. This launch also introduces a new security feature to the Wanchain Bridge: daily transfer limits. The current daily cross-chain transfer limit for WBTC is 2 WBTC, subject to change.

Watch the guide below:
WanBridge supports the mainnet launch of Circle's CCTP on Arbitrum!
All users can now access CCTP directly on the Wanchain Bridge to transport native USDC between Arbitrum, Ethereum and Avalanche!
How this launch works: USDC is minted natively on multiple chains. CCTP burns native USDC on the source chain, fetches a signed attestation from Circle, then mints native USDC on the destination chain. CCTP is available on Ethereum, Avalanche & Arbitrum. Other networks will follow in future.
When using XFlows to transform USDC, the bridge will default to CCTP if it is available, making it a seamless integration!
Check out this Avalanche to Arbitrum cross-chain transaction using Circle's CCTP on the Wanchain Bridge, in real-time!
Value: 10 USDC
Cost: 0.0059322 AVAX (0.08$)
Route: Avalanche to Arbitrum
Time: 41s

Gather Network added to Wanchain’s cross-chain infrastructure!
Yet another new network integration arrives! Wanchain and Gather have deployed new decentralised, non-custodial bridges connecting the Gather Network to Ethereum and BNB Chain.
The first supported asset is GTH. Native-to-native GTH cross-chain transfers are now live on BNB Chain, Ethereum, and the Gather Network!
Available cross-chain routes:
Gather Network <> Ethereum: GTH
Gather Network <> BNB Chain: GTH
Ethereum <> BNB Chain: GTH
