May was the month the world started paying attention to what Wanchain has quietly been building. With a Rango integration on the horizon, the BridgeFi narrative spreading across the community like wildfire, and KOLs from every corner of the ecosystem writing about xWAN staking. The fleet has never had more wind in its sails.
Onwards and upwards! 🚀

Call the chiropractor, we're BACK! GM Radio returns this Friday at 5:30am UTC 🔊 Oh, did we forget we're bringing in @RangoExchange as a guest speaker? If you love DeFi and crosschain tech, then you're definitely not going to want to miss this 🔥

Big news is sailing in. Wanchain is in the final stages of integrating with Rango, one of the most powerful cross-chain aggregators in Web3, backed by YZi Labs and already integrated by TrustWallet, Binance Web3 Wallet, and 50+ partners.
This month’s GM Radio session featured Rango’s BD lead walking through exactly what the integration entails: Wanchain’s cross-chain bridge infrastructure coming to Rango’s massive user base, and Rango’s aggregation routing coming to Wanchain users.
When this goes live, Wanchain’s reach expands dramatically. Watch this space. 👀
Listen to the GM Radio session here.
Two products,one mission. Here’s a quick look at what Wanchain has built:
WanBridge is Wanchain’s flagship cross-chain bridge connecting 48 different chains including popular EVM networks like Ethereum, and non-EVM chains like Bitcoin, Solana, Cardano, Sui, XRPL, and Tron. Supporting BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT and more, WanBridge is one of the most connected and battle-tested bridges in all of Web3.
XFlows is Wanchain’s cross-chain DEX, letting users buy assets like BTC or ADA directly with ERC-20 assets like ETH, USDC, and USDT, and vice versa. No wrapping, no extra steps. Native assets swapped directly across chains.
Together, they form the backbone of a complete cross-chain infrastructure. Set sail at bridge.wanchain.org, and xflows.wanchain.org.

Pogun has chosen Wanchain as its BTC interoperability partner.
Pogun ran a live mainnet demo of a trustless atomic swap between wanBTC on Cardano and native BTC on Bitcoin, in collaboration with Wanchain. No custodian. No oracle. No third party. Just two assets, two chains, one atomic swap. The mechanism works.
This is BTC interoperability in motion, a live mainnet atomic swap between Bitcoin and Cardano, powered by Wanchain infrastructure.
“A trustless swap between wanBTC on Cardano and native BTC on Bitcoin. No custodian, no oracle, no third party. This is part of the infrastructure the Pogun bridge is built on. The mechanism works.” — Pogun

Why are wanchain native WAN and xWAN the powerhouse of BridgeFi? You can stake xWAN to earn on every transaction going through the WanBridge. APRs paid out in BTC, ETH, USDT, & USDC! You can also stake blue-chip assets like BTC, ETH, & stables to earn APRs in xWAN!

May was the month the BridgeFi flywheel concept really took hold in the community, and it’s worth spelling out clearly for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.
Here’s how it works:
🔵 Forward: Stake xWAN → earn BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT from every bridge transaction 🔵 Reverse: Stake BTC, ETH, USDC, or USDT → earn xWAN directly
The two directions feed each other. Stake blue-chip assets to accumulate xWAN. Stake that xWAN to earn more blue-chip assets. Stake those back in. Round and round with zero impermanent loss risk since both are single-sided staking mechanisms.
No LPing. No impermanent loss. Just stake, and earn autonomously as cross-chain transactions flow through the bridge.
Check current APRs at xstake.wanchain.org
The BridgeFi narrative went far and wide this month. Here’s the community that helped spread it.

For years, Cardano was held back due to limited interoperability. Now, Cardano is more interconnected than ever before! This means: - Opportunities to enter Cardano from other chains - A bitcoin:native DeFi renaissance - More inflows - More tx on the chain - More
Linda @Cryptofly777
Cardano is becoming increasingly more connected to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche & more.. opening up entirely new opportunities! While it's easy to move assets between many other ecosystems, Cardano has often felt like an island That's changing thanks to @wanchain_org !

Linda put it simply this month: Cardano was held back for years by limited interoperability. Now it’s connected to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche and more. The opportunities that come with that are only just beginning to materialise.
Wantern published a standalone article this month with one of the best headlines we’ve seen written about Wanchain: “This Bridge Pays You From Each Transaction Going Through It.” The piece covers the full xWAN staking mechanism, how staking xWAN earns holders a share of every single cross-chain transaction flowing through WanBridge, paid out in BTC, ETH, USDC, and USDT.
This is BridgeFi explained clearly, for anyone. Share it far and wide!

The word “bridge” undersells Wanchain. BridgeFi brings the bigger picture into focus: Swaps. Transfers. Yield. Incentives. APIs. SMPC security. Not just moving assets between chains. Building a cross-chain economy around them.

Insane Chemical showcased all aspects of Wanchain’s BridgeFi in an infographic. From Bridge to Earn, to XFlows, to Wanchain’s rock-solid security.

Trophy breaks down one of the most powerful plays in DeFi right now. Study DeFi, learn wanchain:native utility, stake xWAN, and start earning from every transaction that happens on the Wanchain bridge 🌉 Welcome to BridgeFi.
Trophy🏆 @0x_trophy
5.6M xWAN staked. APRs hitting 40%+. $1.7B in crosschain volume. and now the loop runs both ways. stake blue-chips, earn xWAN. stake xWAN, earn blue-chips. round and round. every rotation feeds the next. this is BridgeFi. ⬇️ https://t.co/DKBVN2QmUi

Community favourite Trophy published one of the sharpest breakdowns of the xWAN staking opportunity this month, covering what 40%+ APR actually means, where the yield comes from, and why this is one of the most powerful plays in DeFi right now.
The thesis is simple: study BridgeFi, learn xWAN utility, stake xWAN, and start earning from every transaction that happens on the Wanchain bridge. Trophy laid it out perfectly.
Read Trophy’s full breakdown here.
VeChain influencer VETlieber returned this month with another piece on the Wanchain ↔ VeChain bridge, highlighting how Wanchain continues to be the primary cross-chain gateway for the VeChain ecosystem.
Thoracic Gull showcased a 5.29 BTC transaction moving from Cardano back to Bitcoin, proof that real infrastructure exists to support large transactions securely, and that BTC holders trust it enough to use it. Bitcoin DeFi on Cardano is on a steady incline, and Wanchain is the bridge making it possible.

Fade Zhod's alpha at your own risk. From users getting paid on every bridge transaction on the Wanchain bridge to impeccable security (never been hacked in 8+ years), Wanchain shows you the true power of interoperability 🔥
zhod @zhodonx
Welcome to BridgeFi on wanchain. This has to be one of the best strategies for building an entirely new corner of DeFi if I’m to tbh. I’d also like to share everything you need to know about this for context: There’s a really interesting angle about DeFi lending that’s not https://t.co/nSGWRkS8f1

Zhod added to the growing chorus of BridgeFi coverage this month, spotlighting how Wanchain has created an entirely new category of DeFi yield, one that is tied directly to real cross-chain infrastructure usage rather than token emissions or incentive programmes.
Finance Flo gave the full xStake staking breakdown this month, walking through all four staking options available to WAN and xWAN holders:
PoS Validator Staking — Delegate WAN to Galaxy Consensus validators, secure the network, earn staking rewards
Bridge Node Staking — Delegate WAN to Storeman nodes, power the cross-chain infrastructure, earn rewards
xWAN Staking — Stake xWAN, earn BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC from real bridge fee revenue at 40%+ APR
Node Operation (Advanced) — Run your own Validator or Bridge Node and contribute directly to the ecosystem
The path is simple: wrap WAN to xWAN (1:1), stake on xStake, earn. That’s it.

May was just the warm-up. The BridgeFi story is spreading, the xWAN flywheel is spinning, and Rango is on the horizon. The best part? We're just getting started. June is going to be a big one. Keep an eye on the horizon!⚓
