Wormhole
Wormhole is an interoperability platform that empowers multichain applications and bridges.
Overview
Wormhole is a leading cross-chain messaging protocol that enables the transfer of assets and data between numerous blockchain networks. It allows developers to build multi-chain decentralized applications (dApps) by providing a secure and decentralized way for blockchains to communicate with each other. Initially connecting Ethereum and Solana, it has expanded to support over 30 chains. The protocol relies on a network of 'Guardian' nodes to verify and sign messages, ensuring the integrity of cross-chain transactions.
