Technology
Wormhole is an infrastructure platform composed of modular, open-source technologies that enable the secure transfer of data between networks.
Wormhole was rated the #1 cross-chain messaging protocol in a comprehensive security report executed by Uniswap’s Bridge Assessment Committee’s security experts over several months.
Wormhole Messaging is a decentralized messaging protocol for blockchain developers to securely and easily enable the flow of information and value with other networks.
The modular, open-source protocol allows developers to tailor the tooling to their chain or app’s needs. Learn more about building with products in the Wormhole stack.
