Convert and Swap Wanchain WAN to British Pound GBP

Wanchain (WAN) is a distributed ledger that enables cross-chain transactions and interoperability among multiple chains. It is a standalone blockchain that operates autonomously, processing and maintaining records of cross-chain transactions. Wanchain is not limited to public blockchains but also facilitates transactions between private chains. As a fork of Ethereum (ETH), Wanchain incorporates some of Ethereum's features, including the autonomous processing of applications via smart contracts. The platform is fully decentralized, eliminating the need for a custodian party to manage or confirm transactions. Wanchain uses a locked account mechanism to secure and manage accounts on the network, thereby eliminating third-party interferences.

Wanchain operates by employing multi-party computing and threshold secret-sharing technology to manage accounts autonomously. This approach sets it apart from most cross-chain systems that rely on third-party platforms. Wanchain has three major cross-chain functionalities: a registration module, a cross-chain transaction data transmission module, and a transaction status query module. These components are involved from the start to the end of a connection. The platform's native token, WAN, is used in payments and on-chain governance. Wanchain's validation nodes are divided into Vouchers, Storemen, and Validators, each performing specific roles in the network. Nodes need to stake WAN before they can validate transactions on the network.

Wanchain aims to provide a broad range of use cases, including decentralized exchanges (DEXs), lending and borrowing platforms, stablecoins, crowdfunding, and multi-currency payments and settlements. By establishing connections between various standalone chains, Wanchain seeks to create a broader market for digital assets. The platform has developed a series of applications via smart contracts, security systems, and its own coin (WAN). Wanchain's decentralization and autonomous account management make it a potential choice for users seeking to conduct transactions both within the parent chain and across chains.

Wanchain was founded by Jack Lu in 2017, with headquarters in Beijing, China, and Austin, Texas. Jack Lu, an entrepreneur and technical expert with a keen interest in blockchain, was the co-founder and CTO at Factom before establishing Wanchain. The platform's native token, WAN, was introduced during the initial coin offering (ICO) in 2017, with a total of 107,100,000 tokens sold. The maximum supply is 210,000,000 WAN. Wanchain is a fork of Ethereum and uses proof-of-stake (PoS) for network security. The mainnet was launched in 2018, adapting the ERC-20 token to Wanchain’s native chain.
