**Wanchain** is a public [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) the supports the development of [smart contract](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) using Solidity. Wanchain supports ring signature-based private transactions and decentralized cross-chain functionality.[\[1\]](#cite-id-23cxwqn3z56)[\[2\]](#cite-id-td0av6um10q)   
  
# Overview  
  
Wanchain is a blockchain infrastructure featuring cross-chain interoperability, privacy, and full smart-contract functionality. Public or private blockchains can integrate with Wanchain to establish connections between different ledgers and perform inter-ledger asset transfers. The Wanchain network runs on a [Proof-of-Stake](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) ("PoS") consensus Algorithm. The Wanchain token can be used for staking for PoS and cross-Chain bridging nodes, as well as for transaction fees.[\[3\]](#cite-id-in5zbkltps)[\[4\]](#cite-id-ak9osxgc8w5)

# WAN Token  
  
WAN or Wancoin is the native currency of Wanchain. All Wanchain transactions, cross-chain transactions, and smart contracts are powered by WAN. WAN is also used as a stake in Wanchain's Proof-of-Stake system and also serves as a bond for Wanchain's cross-chain Storeman nodes. WAN and Wanchain based tokens are not [ERC-20](https://iq.wiki/wiki/erc-20) tokens.[\[5\]](#cite-id-m5h6zdqiiug)
