Wormhole (W) is a blockchain connectivity platform that empowers hundreds of companies and applications in the Web3 ecosystem. Its open-source blockchain development platform enables secure and scalable growth, offering developers the tools to integrate multichain apps and access on-chain data across various blockchains. The Messaging protocol, a foundational feature of Wormhole, facilitates secure cross-chain transfers of tokens or data. At the same time, the Query functionality allows developers to pull on-chain data to their applications on any chain. With its in-app bridging widget, Wormhole enables seamless integration with other networks, further expanding liquidity and user base for Cosmos-based apps and chains.

Uniswap, the renowned decentralized exchange, has recognized Wormhole as the most used and unconditionally approved cross-chain protocol. It received the top rating after a rigorous technical analysis by Uniswap’s Bridge Assessment Committee, consisting of 20 subcategories and over 130 assessment questions. Wormhole prevailed over five other messaging protocols due to its excellent performance in security, decentralization, technical architecture, implementation risk, and operational risk. This recognition confirms Wormhole as a trusted and reliable solution for all cross-chain deployments.

Wormhole powers a wide range of applications across Web3, offering developers numerous options for sending messages cross-chain and verifying their validity. Its modularity allows integration with 23+ blockchains, enhancing liquidity and user growth. Developers can leverage Wormhole’s automatic relaying and in-app cross-chain widget in just three lines of code to accelerate Total Value Locked (TVL) and community growth in decentralized finance (DeFi). Additionally, Wormhole’s features enable seamless bridging, governance broadcasting, NFT transfers, and the building of natively cross-chain apps. With a strong focus on security, Wormhole maintains a network of validator nodes, continuous audits, and a bug bounty program.
