I've been seeing a lot of questions about xWAN staking and fee discounts, so here's a clear breakdown of why actually holding
$WAN (not just trading it) has become seriously underrated.
What is xWAN?
xWAN is Wanchain's liquid staking derivative. Hold it and you earn 10% of all bridge fees from cross-chain transactions across 30+ blockchains. Every swap between
$BTC ,
$ETH , stablecoins, or any supported asset feeds into your balance automatically.
The Fee Discount Tiers
Use XFlows for cross-chain swaps? Your WAN or xWAN holdings unlock automatic discounts:
10,000 WAN/xWAN = 10% off
25,000 WAN/xWAN = 25% off
50,000 WAN/xWAN = 50% off
100,000 WAN/xWAN = 60% off
500,000 WAN/xWAN = 70% off
1,000,000 WAN/xWAN = 80% off
Why This Matters
Stacked Benefits. These discounts apply on top of your xWAN staking rewards. You're getting paid to hold, then paying less to use.
The $100 Cap. XFlows caps service fees at $100. With 80% off, that's $20 max even on massive transactions. For active traders, this compounds fast.
Capital Efficiency. Hold xWAN to earn staking rewards, and those same holdings count toward your fee discounts. No need to choose between earning yield and saving on fees. Your capital stays liquid and working.
Real World Example
Say you're doing $100k in cross-chain swaps monthly.
Standard fee: $200 (0.2%)
With 50k WAN/xWAN (50% off): $100 saved monthly
With 1M WAN/xWAN (80% off): $160 saved monthly
That's $1,200 to $1,920 per year in fee savings alone. Not counting your staking yield.
Current Stats
4.3M xWAN staked
1M+ WAN burned (deflationary)
48+ chains generating fees
The Bottom Line
Wanchain has built something rare: actual utility for holding the token beyond speculation. Between fee discounts, staking yield, and capital that stays liquid, the incentives finally align holders with protocol growth.
Infrastructure that pays you to use it.
