Band Protocol, as a cross-chain data oracle network, aggregates and links real-world data and APIs to smart contracts. It also enables smart contract applications such as DeFi, prediction markets, and games to be built on-chain. Wanchain, on the other hand, provides the infrastructure to connect the decentralized financial world. It allows the flow of digital assets and data across the globe by connecting all isolated public and private blockchains.
Commenting on the company’s integration with the leading blockchain-based oracle network, CEO & Founder of Wanchain, Jack Lu said,
