An EVM-compatible blockchain focused on decentralized cross-chain interoperability, Wanchain offers non-custodial MPC/TSS bridges connecting EVM and non-EVM networks like Bitcoin and the XRP Ledger.
Wanchain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 and decentralized interoperability protocol that connects EVM and non‑EVM networks via non‑custodial, sMPC-based bridges. Primary use cases include native-to-native asset transfers (e.g., BTC↔EVM, XRP↔EVM), cross-chain DeFi liquidity routing, NFT bridging, and cross-chain messaging for dApps. As of 2025, users typically see sub‑$0.01 gas for simple transfers, ~5s block times, practical throughput around 100–300 TPS, and modest daily activity (check https://www.wanscan.org) that keeps fees predictable.
Wanchain’s standout feature is its decentralized bridge node architecture using secure multiparty computation and threshold signatures—eliminating centralized custodians while supporting both EVM and non‑EVM chains. Versus Ethereum mainnet, Wanchain provides faster blocks (~5s vs ~12s), much lower average fees (often sub‑cent vs dollars under congestion), and higher practical TPS, plus cross‑chain smart contracts that let dApps execute logic across multiple networks. WAN is the native gas token, and real‑time performance metrics (fees, block speed, activity) are available on https://www.wanscan.org for direct comparison.
Wanchain uses WAN as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain WAN by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge WAN to Wanchain, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Wanchain as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Wanchain you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Wanchain to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send WAN on Wanchain, ensure your wallet is connected to the Wanchain network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of WAN to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
