About Blockchains
What is Wanchain?
Wanchain is the longest-running decentralized interoperability solution. Founded in 2017, Wanchain is committed to driving blockchain adoption by unifying isolated networks. While connecting the industry's siloed networks, Wanchain strives to accelerate the development of a scalable, industry-wide blockchain interoperability standard. To date, Wanchain's infrastructure connects more than 35 EVM and non-EVM networks while sporting top-grade security and industry-best uptime.
What is Polkadot?
Polkadot stands out among other blockchain projects for its focus on enhancing the foundational infrastructure of dApps. It aims to enable interoperability between blockchain ecosystems, facilitating seamless communication without intermediaries. Functioning as a "network of networks," Polkadot utilizes parachains — specialized blockchains with unique functionalities and tokens — to enable interaction between diverse blockchain architectures. Powered by the nominated proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm and drawing inspiration from the Ouroboros protocol, Polkadot offers a robust framework for building interconnected and scalable decentralized systems.
