Wanchain
$80M+ volumeMulti-chain bridge supporting BTC, ETH, USDC and 28+ networks to Cardano
What is Wanchain?
Wanchain is a multi-chain bridge connecting Cardano to 28+ blockchain networks, enabling the transfer of BTC, ETH, USDC, and other major assets to and from Cardano. With over $80M in bridged volume, it is the most battle-tested cross-chain bridge serving the Cardano ecosystem.
Key Features
28+ Network Support
