Wormhole: How Networks Talk to Each Other
Most bridges only move tokens. Wormhole standardizes communication between networks, so they can share data, smart contract functionality and assets rather than simple transfers.
At the core is a decentralized network of guardians that monitor and sign transactions, approving legitimate transfers. Rather than moving an asset directly, Wormhole locks tokens on the original network and mints equivalent tokens on the destination.
