Press Release:<\/b> Wanchain launches the cross-chain XFlows bridge update, bringing native-to-native USDT cross-chain transfers for Ethereum, BNB, and many other top coins.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 28th September 2022, London <\/b>\u2013 <\/span>Wanchain<\/span><\/a> has announced its new \u2018XFlows\u2019 cross-chain bridge upgrade which will revolutionize trading of the world\u2019s number one stablecoin, USDT, against many other widely used tokens. This new upgrade brings native-to-native USDT cross-chain transfers for Ethereum, BNB Chain, OKC, Polygon, Arbitrum, and more to be announced soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n USDT is minted natively on more than a dozen blockchains. Until now, the easiest way to move USDT between these chains has been to use centralized exchanges. Users can now use Wanchain\u2019s industry-best <\/span>cross-chain bridges<\/span><\/a> to execute decentralized, non-custodial native-to-native USDT cross-chain transfers between Ethereum, BNB Chain, OKC, Polygon, and Arbitrum \u2013 colloquially referred to as XFlows. USDT XFlows are native-to-native USDT cross-chain transfers between blockchains where USDT is natively minted by Tether.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Wanchain previously developed Direct Bridges, a method that uses a \u2018lock-mint-burn-unlock\u2019 method in which native tokens (like USDT) on the source chain would be locked before a mirrored copy, or wrapped token, is minted on the destination chain. To unlock the original token, the wrapped token is then subsequently burned.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Powered by <\/span>Wanchain\u2019s cross-chain bridges<\/span><\/a>, XFlows offers a seamless experience that exists in concert with these pre-existing bridges. When bridging USDT to another network, users will automatically receive native USDT if native USDT exists on the destination chain. However, if USDT does not exist on the destination chain, users will receive wrapped USDT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When bridging an asset that is minted natively on both the source and destination chains, a lock-mint-burn-unlock mechanism is not a viable option as users will undoubtedly want to receive the native asset, rather than a wrapped version.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With this new solution, when someone bridges their USDT from Ethereum to Polygon, their USDT is first added to a native liquidity pool on Ethereum before the same number of USDT is removed from the pool on Polygon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Wanchain<\/span><\/a> bridge nodes balance pools of native USDT on Ethereum, BSC, OKC, Polygon & Arbitrum to enable native USDT cross-chain transfers; all without sacrificing security and decentralization. USDT XFlows are executed using the same secure multi-party computation (sMPC) architecture that distinguishes Wanchain\u2019s interoperability solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With these new native USDT cross-chain transfers, Wanchain is introducing a new method of liquidity provision that avoids the trappings of centralized liquidity and incentivized liquidity alternatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The USDT liquidity that powers <\/span>Wanchain\u2019s USDT XFlows<\/span><\/a> is provided by users who bridge their USDT to another network using the lock-mint-burn-unlock mechanism. The USDT that is locked on a source chain, before wrapped USDT is minted on a destination chain, doubles as the liquidity powering native-to-native USDT cross-chain transfers.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The combination of the lock-mint-burn-unlock and liquidity pool methods is a major innovation in the field of cross-chain technology. The number of wrapped USDT in circulation is always equivalent to the total native USDT locked in liquidity pools across all chains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As more wrapped USDT is minted, regardless of the network, more native USDT is added to the liquidity pools. These new USDT XFlows are both owned and powered by the users giving them more control over their money, and the network.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n USDT XFlows<\/span><\/a> are currently supported by direct bridges connecting Arbitrum, BNB Chain, CLV P-Chain, Ethereum, Moonriver, OKC, Polygon, Wanchain, and XDC Network. In the future, Wachain\u2019s USDT XFlows will support native USDT on Avalanche C-Chain and Tron. Additionally, Wanchain is working towards launching XFlows for the second biggest stablecoin, USDC, which would give users coverage for almost all of the stablecoin market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Media Contact<\/b><\/p>\n Contact Name:<\/b> Temujin Louie<\/span><\/p>\n Contact Email<\/b>: <\/span>info@wanchain.org<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wanchain Socials<\/b><\/p>\n Twitter<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>Telegram<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>Medium<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wanchain is the source of this content.
