Cross-chain messaging protocol connecting Solana to dozens of other networks.
Wormhole is a cross-chain messaging protocol connecting Solana with more than 40 blockchains. Rather than only bridging tokens, it carries arbitrary messages between chains, which lets applications move assets, share data and trigger actions across networks. It has processed more than one billion cross-chain messages and about $70 billion in cumulative volume, as of September 2026.
Messages are validated by a Guardian network of 19 validators, and 13 of the 19 must sign before a message is accepted on the destination chain. In February 2022, an exploit in Wormhole's Solana bridge contract led to the loss of about 120,000 wETH; Jump Crypto replaced the funds in full, and the protocol has been heavily audited and bug-bountied since.
Wormhole's Native Token Transfers (NTT) standard lets projects issue one canonical token across many chains instead of fragmented wrapped versions. More than 100 tokens, with a combined market cap above $170 billion, have launched using it. Institutions including BlackRock, Apollo, VanEck and Ripple use Wormhole for tokenized assets and stablecoins; Ripple's RLUSD, for example, went multichain via NTT. Wormhole Labs' Sunrise gateway brings external assets natively onto Solana.
The W governance token launched in April 2024 with an airdrop of 617 million tokens to more than 400,000 wallets. W holders steer decisions such as which chains are prioritized and how protocol parameters evolve.

$BUIDL is the tokenized U.S. Treasury fund from @BlackRock. @Securitize tokenizes it, and Wormhole connects it across Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, Polygon and Aptos. That's how the world's largest asset manager goes multichain. https://t.co/tMFOWMh6UF

Mayan Deposit Addresses are live. Users send any token. Apps receive the asset they need. Mayan moves, Wormhole connects.
Every institution asks the same thing before going multichain: who's in control? With Wormhole NTT, the issuer is. They keep full control of their token on every chain. Teams like @Ripple, @Securitize, @LidoFinance, @m0, and more use NTT to take their assets multichain on their own terms.
Community sentiment is mixed but leans bearish, with criticism focused on Wormhole allegedly replacing Chainlink in a partnership with Securitize, which some view as a failure for Chainlink rather than validation for Wormhole. Some genuine interest remains about Wormhole's vision for tokenization and its utility in DeFi.
This is proof that Chainlink once had a relationship with @securitize, but they dropped Chainlink and upgraded to @wormhole. When the @securitize partnership was announced on Chainlink’s wall, the $LINK fanatics bragged about it and spun all kinds of fantasies. Now you don’t see them bragging about this partner anymore. Absolute failure
100% man. I mostly use Rabby and Phantom wallets, DefiLlamaSwap and Jumper for swapping/bridging, and my beloved Protocol_FX for borrowing or leverage trading. And then I like DeBank, Octav, DefiSaver, and DefiLlama for tools/research/etc. And then love Pendle but honestly don't use it a ton. Oh and then I love Beefy Finance too and use it several times per year typically for yield-maxxing opportunities. (am probably forgetting some others)
@Securitize @ARKInvest @Wormhole How does Wormhole play into your big vision tokenizing the World and bring it everything onchain? https://t.co/bacUL3UFvQ
@wormhole @BlackRock @Securitize BlackRock is moving the industry.
