🔍 Chain Abstraction in Practice: Wanchain Overview
For years, crypto users have been forced to think in terms of blockchains — which network to use, which bridge to trust, and which wrapped asset to hold. That complexity is now fading as the industry moves toward chain abstraction.
Wanchain has been building toward this model for years. Today, it connects nearly 50 blockchains, enabling seamless value transfer without users needing to know where assets originate or settle. Transactions occur through a single, unified flow, with technical complexity handled entirely in the background.
This is not an experimental system. Wanchain has processed over $1.6 billion in lifetime cross-chain volume, with $1–2 million in daily transfers, and has operated for more than seven years without a single bridge exploit — a notable record in a sector where bridge security failures are common.
Token Utility and Economics
The Wanchain ecosystem is powered by WAN:
All Wanchain transactions use WAN
Bridge nodes stake WAN to operate
Cross-chain fees are converted into WAN via the Convert & Burn mechanism, with 10% permanently burned
If burn rates exceed Proof-of-Stake emissions, WAN becomes deflationary
Staking WAN provides:
Up to 80% discounts on bridge fees
Governance participation
yield from validators and bridge nodes
Interoperability Advantage
Unlike many competitors — including Cosmos, Polkadot, Chainlink, and THORChain — Wanchain supports both EVM and non-EVM blockchains. Live integrations include Bitcoin, $XRP , Tron, Cosmos, Cardano, Polkadot, and dozens of others.

Despite securing a live, revenue-generating interoperability layer with daily usage, WAN currently trades near its all-time low, presenting a notable disconnect between adoption and valuation.
This is what chain abstraction looks like in real-world deployment.
$WAN looks strong from a long-term infrastructure perspective.
