Wanchain (WAN) is a blockchain platform focused on interoperability — connecting separate networks so that assets and data can move between them without intermediaries. Its native coin, WAN, is used for transaction fees, staking, and cross-chain transfers. Think of it as a bridge infrastructure layer for the crypto world.

Frequently asked questions

What is Wanchain and how is it different from other blockchains?

Wanchain is a decentralized blockchain whose main goal is interoperability — letting different blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum and others exchange value directly. While most chains focus on their own ecosystem, Wanchain builds bridges between ecosystems. Its coin is called WAN.

How does Wanchain's consensus mechanism work?

Wanchain uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism called Galaxy Consensus. Instead of miners, WAN holders can stake their coins to help validate transactions and secure the network, earning rewards for doing so. This makes the network energy-efficient compared to Proof-of-Work chains.

What is the maximum supply of WAN coins?

WAN has a hard cap of 210,000,000 coins, meaning no more than that will ever be created. This fixed maximum supply is built into the protocol and cannot be changed casually. New coins enter circulation only through staking rewards within this limit.

How can you store and use WAN?

WAN is an ERC-20 token with the contract address 0xd310295bf9bba000863a3fd44166176a1b204a96, so it can be stored in any wallet that supports Ethereum-based tokens, such as MetaMask or hardware wallets. It can be used for staking, paying network fees, and participating in cross-chain transfers. Always double-check the contract address before making a transfer.
