- W Chain leverages a hybrid blockchain model, combining public and private networks to create a flexible, secure and efficient global payment system designed for businesses and individuals.
- Soft launch limits validator integration to a select group, ensuring system stability and the ability to address challenges without overwhelming the network.
W chaina hybrid blockchain network, has entered a new phase in its mission to reshape global payment systems with the soft launch of its Layer 1 Mainnet. Building on the success of its previous Testnet phase, the company’s controlled launch marks a critical step towards its ambitious commercial launch in March 2025.
W Chain Mainnet, powered by WadzChain Network, aims to combine the strengths of public and private blockchains to create a secure, efficient and interoperable platform for global payments, smart contracts and DeFi. This hybrid approach is designed to meet the diverse needs of businesses and individuals seeking a more inclusive and flexible payments infrastructure.
Real-world testing and developer involvement
The soft launch is not just a technical milestone: it represents an open invitation to developers around the world to participate in the W Chain ecosystem. The Testnet phase served as a testing ground, and feedback from the developer community directly influenced new Mainnet features. One such innovation is the W Chain Bridge, introduced to improve interoperability between blockchain networks.
During the soft launch, W Chain focuses on real-world testing to simulate user interactions and collect critical data on system performance and user experience. This approach ensures that any issues are identified and resolved before full-scale release.
“This soft launch is crucial for the growth of the company. We will use hybrid blockchain technology to secure and streamline transactions, Dinesh KR, Chief Blockchain Officer at W Chain, mentioned in a press release shared with AlexaBlockchain.
“We will simulate user interactions with the platform, collect important data on system performance and user experience, and make improvements before launch,” Dinesh added.
Controlled onboarding of validators
To maintain system stability, W Chain is onboarding a limited group of validators during this soft launch. This strategic approach allows the network to address challenges in a controlled environment without risking overloading the system.
Founder Anish Jain expressed his vision for the network: “The soft launch of our Mainnet is an important moment for W Chain as we redefine global payment systems. We want to build an inclusive and flexible payments environment that adapts to the different needs of businesses today and tomorrow. As a central switch for all payments, W Chain should be interoperable with all digital currencies.”
Building towards a commercial launch
In the months leading up to its commercial launch in March 2025, W Chain plans to roll out several new features, including a decentralized exchange (DEX), premium account options, and a ambassador program aimed at expanding community participation. The company hopes these additions will strengthen its ecosystem and drive adoption among developers and enterprises alike.
The soft launch also aims to encourage the creation of decentralized applications (DApps), further showcasing the network’s versatility. By fostering innovation within its ecosystem, W Chain is positioning itself as a critical player in the global blockchain landscape.
As blockchain technology matures, the promise of a seamless global payments system remains a major challenge. With its hybrid model, W Chain aims to address critical points such as interoperability, scalability and inclusivity.
