Crosschain Transaction Guide (EVM-compatible networks)
An in-depth guide outlining how to complete a crosschain transaction between EVM-compatible networks using both the Wanchain Desktop Wallet and the WanBridge web portal.
This guide will demonstrate two separate crosschain transactions:
- 1.
- 2.
Note: All crosschain transactions between EVM networks follow the same process. This includes all supported EVM networks including Wanchain, Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Fantom, Moonriver, Moonbeam, etc.
Navigate to Wallet → More Tokens.
Scroll down until you see ETH. Then, click the stars next to ETH and wanETH. As in the screenshot below.
$ETH and $wanETH wallets are now enabled and appear in your portfolio overview.
Navigate to Cross Chain → ETH → Ethereum <-> Wanchain
Since you are moving $ETH from Wanchain to Ethereum, click “Convert” next to your wanETH balance, as in the screenshot below. $ETH on Wanchain is called $wanETH.
Select which of your $ETH wallets you would like to receive the $ETH on Ethereum, enter the amount of $wanETH to convert, then click “Next”. Optionally, you can select “Send Everything” to move your entire $wanETH balance to Ethereum.
Confirm that all the details are correct then click “Send”. This will initiate the crosschain transaction.
While your crosschain transaction is processing, the status will change three times:
- Lock Request Sent
- Locked
- Success
Note: The speed of the crosschain transaction is entirely dependent on the networks involved. Transactions involving slower networks like Bitcoin or Ethereum may take several minutes or more to complete.
While your crosschain transaction is processing, you can the status to view more detailed information.
Once your crosschain transaction is complete, you’ll see your $ETH balance on Ethereum, update and the crosschain transaction status change to “success”.
Before completing decentralised crosschain transactions using the WanBridge web portal, you need to ensure you have access to the correct wallet(s). You must have wallets for each network involved in the crosschain transaction. Metamask is a fantastic wallet that grants you access to any EVM-compatible blockchain networks.
Click “Connect to Wallet”.
Click “MetaMask”.
If this is your first time using the WanBridge web portal, you will first need to give permission to connect your wallet. Follow the MetaMask prompts by clicking “Next” then “Connect” as instructed.
Select “AVAX” from the drop-down menu. Then, choose “Avalanche C-chain” and “Wanchain” as your From and To networks, respectively. Finally, input your destination address in the “Recipient” field as well as the amount of $AVAX you want to send crosschain. Click “Next”.
Confirm that all the details are correct then click “Confirm”.
Confirm the transaction by clicking “Confirm” in the MetaMask pop-up window.
While your crosschain transaction is processing, the status will change three times:
- Processing (1/2)
- Processing (2/2)
- Success
Note: The speed of the crosschain transaction is entirely dependent on the networks involved. Transactions involving slower networks like Bitcoin or Ethereum may take several minutes or more to complete.
Once your crosschain transaction is complete, you’ll see your $AVAX balance on Wanchain (called $wanAVAX) and the crosschain transaction status change to “success”.
