What are your biggest accomplishments with Wanchain and WanLabs?

Wanchain

We are helping shape a new paradigm — the new digital economy. We are confident we can eventually connect various forms of tokenized assets across multiple blockchains. We foresee a world where public and private blockchains leverage Wanchain to exchange all sorts of value. The technical team is focused on the roadmap (Wanchain 2.0 integration with Ethereum was released in July and work on Wanchain 3.0 integration with Bitcoin is going very well). We are aiming to have the Test Net out before December. The big plan is to have a solution that we can use to plug into any blockchain (no manual setup needed for each integration).

We understand that connecting all the world’s digital assets is a hefty and complicated task, but we strongly believe that the ecosystem we are building will provide important frameworks for present and future projects.

I want to be consistent with our vision but more than that, the Wanchain team want to deliver on what we promised. Achieving our mission requires hard work, dedication, and compromise. We have a strong team that will continuously work for the betterment of the ecosystem. That is why we have set out our different entities (from an incubator to developer community to enterprise solutions in 4.0 release). These different entities will shape the way we do business. Having a strong community backing is a key ingredient to success and we will continue to nurture the relationship with our community. Having a clear vision, mission, values, and metrics in place ensures the team will have the essential information to efficiently execute the different tasks and responsibilities set out.

Scaling is very important in both technical and non-technical terms. In technical terms, scaling has been the big topic of 2018 and many projects, institutions and universities are researching on how to scale blockchains. Wanchain is also in talks with several institutions and universities to pool resources together to find the right solutions. This is a combined effort. In non-technical terms, scaling is extremely important and is often overlooked. You can build a blockchain that can accommodate one million tps but what really matters is whether anyone is using it.

WanLabs

While the roadmap in the whitepaper is quite short, we want to remind the community of the long-term impact that we want to achieve, one example being our goal to create a strong network effect. As previously mentioned, our focus is on connecting to other blockchains, the use of privacy protection, and laying the foundation to make it simpler for projects and institutions to build, connect and exchange value in the form of digital assets.

WanLabs is still in its infancy but we believe it is an important entity as it will help shape the projects of the future. We have already included a few companies that are now looking at blockchain for future-proofing their systems.

Through our guidance, marketing, community support and investor network, we offer part to complete packages for the different projects.

We are constantly optimizing our business development procedures and have implemented a process that is highly adaptive. This way we can keep up with market trends and include all sorts of projects in the pipeline. Wanlabs has received over 60 applications in the past month.
