Infrastructure

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

Wanchain connects Cardano to Ethereum, Bitcoin, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, and 24+ other networks — the broadest cross-chain reach of any Cardano bridge.

$80M+ Bridged Volume

Wanchain has processed over $80M in cross-chain transfers, demonstrating sustained usage and reliability across its supported networks.

Decentralized Architecture

Wanchain uses a decentralized Storeman network of nodes to secure cross-chain transfers, avoiding the centralized custodian risk of many competing bridges.

BTC to Cardano

One of the few bridges that supports wrapping Bitcoin (wBTC) onto Cardano — enabling Bitcoin liquidity to participate in Cardano's DeFi ecosystem.
