Wormhole provides a comprehensive suite of cross-chain solutions, enabling seamless asset transfers, data retrieval, and governance across blockchain ecosystems.

Wormhole provides multiple options for asset transfers: Connect for a plug-and-play bridging UI, Native Token Transfers (NTT) for moving native assets without wrapped representations, and Wrapped Token Transfers (WTT) for a secure lock-and-mint mechanism.

Beyond transfers, Wormhole extends interoperability with tools for cross-chain data access, decentralized governance, and an intent-based protocol through Wormhole Settlement.

Transfer Products＃

Wormhole offers different solutions for cross-chain asset transfer, each designed for various use cases and integration requirements.

  • Native Token Transfers (NTT): A mechanism to transfer native tokens cross-chain seamlessly without conversion to a wrapped asset. Best for projects that require maintaining token fungibility and native chain functionality across multiple networks.
  • Wrapped Token Transfers (WTT): A bridging solution that uses a lock and mint mechanism. Best for projects that need cross-chain liquidity using wrapped assets and the ability to send messages.
  • Settlement: Intent-based protocols enabling fast multichain transfers, optimized liquidity flows, and interoperability without relying on traditional bridging methods.

Beyond asset transfers, Wormhole provides additional tools for cross-chain data and governance.

Bridging UI＃

Connect is a pre-built bridging UI for cross-chain token transfers, requiring minimal setup. Best for projects seeking an easy-to-integrate UI for bridging without modifying contracts.

Real-time Data＃

Queries is a data retrieval service to fetch on-chain data from multiple networks. Best for applications that need multichain analytics, reporting, and data aggregation.

Multichain Governance＃

MultiGov is a unified governance framework that manages multichain protocol governance through a single mechanism. Best for projects managing multichain governance and protocol updates.
