Wanchain (WAN) will be undergoing another hard fork upgrade “Mercury” and it is going to take place on on December 20th, at UTC 00:00. The new hard fork will bring couple of new features to Wanchain’s blockchain including smart contract API for safe random numbers and raising blocks’ standard gas limit.
Wanchain Node operators will have to upgrade their WanWallet and WAN nodes (GWAN).

Wanchain is a blockchain platform enabling decentralized transfer of value between isolated blockchains. Similar to how Wide Area Networks connected all the isolated Local Area Networks of the early years of the internet, Wanchain is creating what is essentially the Wide Area Network (WAN) of blockchains.
