Updates from September 2023

Top updates from the month of September!

Oct 03, 2023

Dear Wanchain Community,

September has been an incredible month for the Wanchain ecosystem, surpassing the $600M total cross-chain volume mark! This past month brought along new bridge integrations, XFlows expansions to new chains, Cardano ecosystem expansions enabled by Wanchain’s bridges, and much more. The Wanchain team also spent some time at a few offline events connecting with many projects. Let’s dive right in!

$600,000,000 in total cross-chain volume and counting!

Wanchain’s decentralised cross-chain bridges have processed more than $600M in total cross-chain volume. Next stop - $1 Billion!

ETH XFlows launches on BNB Chain

ETH XFlows has expanded to BNB Chain! You can now move ETH seamlessly between Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Ethereum, Metis and BNB Chain!

Bridge here: bridge.wanchain.org

Wanchain bridges support Circle’s CCTP expansion to Optimism

Circle’s CCTP has expanded to Optimism meaning that USDC is now natively minted on Optimism. For Wanchain’s Bridges, this means that XFlows now supports native-to-native cross-chain transfers of USDC between Ethereum, Avalanche, Arbitrum and Optimism.

When using Wanchain's XFlows to transform USDC, the bridge will default to CCTP if it is available.
