WGC V3

Introducing WGC V3

WGC V3 represents the architectural foundation of Wild Goat Coin in its current form.

Earlier versions of WGC were Solana-native tokens and later expanded to additional networks using a wrapped-asset bridge. While this enabled early experimentation, it introduced fragmentation, custodial risk, and operational complexity.

The WGC V3 upgrade resolved these limitations by introducing a unified, omnichain-native design.

Omnichain-Native Architecture

Unlike wrapped tokens or liquidity-based bridges, WGC V3 uses native interoperability infrastructure to maintain a single, global supply.

Transfers between chains occur via a burn-and-mint model, where tokens are burned on the source chain and minted on the destination chain. This approach removes custodial risk, avoids wrapped representations, and preserves full fungibility across networks.

As a result, WGC can function as a true multi-chain currency rather than a collection of linked assets.

Permissionless Expansion

WGC V3 is deployed across dozens of networks, while permanent core liquidity is intentionally concentrated on three primary chains – Base, HyperEVM and zkSync.

New markets can be created permissionlessly, enabling the community to deploy liquidity, establish trading pairs, and expand WGC’s presence to other chains without requiring centralized approval.

Transition from Earlier Versions

WGC V3 launched on April 5th, 2025, with a direct 1:1 airdrop to all wallets holding 1,000 or more WGC V2 tokens at the time of the snapshot.

This threshold was applied to ensure an efficient and reliable migration process, given the wide historical distribution of WGC V2 through earlier nominal-value, promotional airdrops.

Following this transition, official support for earlier token versions was discontinued.

WGC V3 is now the sole supported version of Wild Goat Coin.
