Wanchain and Epicenter DAO are pleased to announce a strategic partnership leveraging Wanchain’s industry-leading crosschain blockchain infrastructure to enhance the capabilities of the Epicenter ecosystem and its cryptocurrencies. This collaboration marries Wanchain’s unique decentralised, non-custodial crosschain bridges and the Epicenter ecosystem’s triumvirate of digital assets: $EPIC (fungible p2p electronic cash), $EUSD (soft-pegged stable coin) and $ECR (governance token).

Wanchain recently completed the crosschain integration of $ECR, the Epicenter ecosystem’s governance token. This means $ECR is now crosschain compatible and usable on both the Ethereum and Wanchain public blockchains.

Max Freeman, President of Epicenter DAO says:

“We are thrilled to announce that the integration of the ECR token into Wanchain is complete. We believe Wanchain sets a new bar for trustless, non-custodial decentralised blockchain interoperability.”

The next phase of the collaboration is threefold:

  1. Epicenter DAO will deploy its gov.epic.tech proposal management system on Wanchain to lower barriers to participation in voting for $ECR token governance processes.
  2. Epicenter DAO will launch a variety of trading and farming opportunities on Wanchain under the ‘EDEX’ banner to promote liquidity.
  3. Epicenter DAO will conduct an airdrop for all Wanchain node operators and delegators.

Li Ni, Wanchain VP of Business Development and Operations notes:

“Running sophisticated governance systems on other layer 1 public blockchains is prohibitively expensive. Wanchain and Epicenter’s collaboration makes it easier, cheaper and faster for ECR token holders to vote on the parameters that govern the Epicenter ecosystem.”

Both Wanchain and Epicenter DAO believe in the power and importance of decentralised crosschain blockchain interoperability. More specifics about the partnership, including the potential integration of the Epicenter ecosystem’s $EPIC and $EUSD tokens, will be shared in the coming weeks and months.
