Integrate easily
Integrate token bridging in just 3 lines of code with Connect, or implement custom cross-chain messaging integrations via the core contracts or the Wormhole SDK.
Accelerate growth
Accelerate the growth of your users and liquidity by connecting to the leading multi-chain network comprised of 25+ blockchains, thousands of apps, and billions of dollars in value.
Build securely
Security is held core to the Messaging protocol. The protocol uses signed Verified Action Approvals (VAAs) as a core primitive, Guardian nodes run full nodes for every connected blockchain, and relayers are untrusted in the mechanism.
Maintain decentralization
Wormhole is the most decentralized cross-chain messaging protocol, operated by a decentralized set of 19 validators called Guardians.
Future-proof your project
As the decentralized computing ecosystem evolves, Wormhole’s modularity allows to update its architecture and messaging mechanisms without breaking integrations.
Scale with time-tested tools
Operating since early 2021, Wormhole was the first-ever generic messaging protocol for blockchains and has strengthened and expanded over time.
Send messages cross-chain using a variety of verification methods to attest to the validity of a message. These options are all available to developers in Wormhole’s platform, depending on the chains involved in a given transaction, and the verification methods will continue to grow over time to incorporate new technologies.
Wormhole Guardians
Wormhole Guardians are a core element of the Wormhole Messaging protocol. It’s a decentralized network of 19 world-class validators that observe the Core Contract on each supported chain and produce verifiable approvals when those contracts receive a message from the Wormhole Messaging protocol.
