-------------------------

Why is this important?

✅ Liqwid is the biggest lending & borrowing protocol on Cardano.

✅ Wanchain's bridged assets are one of the most used on Liqwid (here's more info).

✅ USDC is the most supplied stablecoin on Liqwid with $7.1M – more than any other native Cardano stablecoin (more info).

✅ Different use cases make people transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars back and forth like clockwork (here's just one recent tx).

🔥 This gives EURC an excellent starting point to bring in more cross-chain transactions and volume!

Who wants to get paid for bridging?

The Power of Building Bridges

Say hello to Solana Bridge stats!

From Solana:
➡️ Tx's: ~33,900
➡️ Volume: $29.42M
➡️ Top Route: BNB Chain

To Solana:
➡️ Tx's: ~9,300
➡️ Volume: $27.37M
➡️ Top Route: BNB Chain

In less than 5 months this bridge alone added nearly $57 million to our cross-chain volume and 43,200 cross-chain transactions.

P.S. We have more big bridges under construction ;-). I'm looking at you VeChain!

Meet Smoot: An open-source framework to connect all blockchains.

Wanchain teamed up with Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust to create something game-changing.

Read all about it here:
www.lfdecentralizedtrust.org/blog/meet-smoot-one-framework-to-connect-all-chains

Smoot isn’t just a tech launch, it’s a major move for Wanchain.

Here are the benefits:

👀 Visibility: Top blockchain teams + LFDT members get to experience Wanchain's state of the art cross-chain technology.
🤝 Opportunity: Companies will turn to us if they want to build cross-chain solutions.
🚀 Momentum: As Smoot popularity grows, it will be yet another driver for our brand in Web3. Because we're the main player behind it.

Now, here's an awesome story for you.

Did you know that Smoot was named after a human measuring stick?

In 1958, MIT student Oliver R. Smoot was laid down over and over to measure the length of a bridge.

The result? The Harvard Bridge is 364.4 Smoots ± 1 εar long.

Funny, brilliant, unforgettable.

That spirit now lives on in this new Smoot project.

Just like the original Smoot connected point A to point B (literally), today’s Smoot connects blockchains.

There are thousands of chains today, most isolated. Smoot helps them share data, send assets, and run logic across chains.

Let’s look at what makes Smoot special.

Smoot is:

🔹 Open source
🔹 Ethereum Enterprise Alliance compliant
🔹 Modular and flexible
🔹 Free from vendor lock-in
🔹 Built by Wanchain.
🔹 Now part of Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust.

So what does it actually do?

Think of Smoot like TCP/IP for blockchains.

Just like this protocol runs the entire Internet, Smoot makes it easy for blockchains to connect: securely and reliably.

From apps to enterprises, anyone can build on top of it.

Let’s talk compatibility.

Smoot works with:

✅ Public & private chains
✅ EVMs and non-EVMs
✅ Multisig, MPC, ZK tech

Smoot supercharges cross-chain applications while freeing developers to focus on their users.

Who’s behind this effort?

🧠 Smoot is maintained by core devs from Wanchain: Dr. Weijia Zhang and Temujin Louie

👨‍🎓 And in tribute to Oliver Smoot we have a person from MIT also contributing

Let's wrap it up!

Smoot is more than a code. It’s a symbol of community, collaboration and connection between all the blockchains.

From a human measuring stick in 1958…
To a cross-chain framework in 2025…
