In the WATS Wallet Chrome extension, you can now pay the ATS network fee for a transfer on another EVM network by signing once. The fee is collected on BNB Smart Chain while the transfer runs where you chose. The changes were published to GitHub on 9 October 2026.
Cross-chain fee authorization
An EIP-712 signature lets the ATS network fee be collected on BNB Smart Chain while the transfer runs on another EVM network. The ATS fee screens were reworked, and Swap and Bridge are gated on fee availability. See the ATS fee page.
Safer tokenized stocks and swaps
Tokenized stocks (bStocks, which are tokenized-stock certificates on BNB Smart Chain issued by BTech Holdings Limited (regulated in ADGM by the FSRA): certificates over shares, not shares.) are better protected: an imported contract can no longer take on a real stock's name, logo and verified badge, and sending a stock no longer fails open on a network lookup error. In Bridge, tokenized stocks are now marked on the destination side too. The EVM swap shows a warning when the price impact cannot be measured.
More reliable dApp requests
dApp request handling was aligned with WalletConnect QA requirements, and the first dApp request on EVM and TON is no longer dropped. TonConnect behaviour was aligned with the TonConnect specification.
