Wormhole (W) is an interoperability platform that empowers multichain applications and bridges. It allows users to move assets seamlessly across various chains, promoting interoperability and expanding the possibilities of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Wormhole operates by utilizing a network of validators to facilitate the transfer of assets between chains. When a user initiates a transfer, the Wormhole protocol locks the assets on the source chain and generates a corresponding token on the destination chain, ensuring a secure and trustless transaction process.

W token allows its holders to participate in governance decisions by staking their tokens and delegating their voting power to a chosen delegate. This process is done through the Tally Governance Portal and does not require token lockup or impact token ownership.

Wormhole offers users a seamless and secure way to transfer assets between different blockchain networks, promoting interoperability and expanding the possibilities of DeFi. It also enables the creation of cross-chain decentralized applications, such as cross-chain lending and yield farming.

To use Wormhole, users can access the Wormhole portal, connect their wallets, and select the assets they wish to transfer. The Wormhole protocol will then facilitate the transfer, ensuring a secure and trustless transaction process.

Wormhole utilizes a decentralized network of validators to ensure the security and integrity of the network. The protocol also employs advanced cryptographic techniques, such as threshold signatures, to protect user assets and prevent malicious activity.

Wormhole supports over 30 blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Sui, Arbitrum, Moonbeam, Base, Avalanche, Polygon, Algorand, Aptos, Near and others. The network is constantly expanding to support new chains and assets.

Wormhole token holders can participate in governance by voting on proposals and contributing to the decision-making process. This ensures that the network remains decentralized and community-driven. To stake your W tokens, navigate to the Governance Portal, transfer your tokens to a supported EVM chain, choose your delegate, and then stake your W for governance.

Delegates are stewards of the Wormhole DAO, responsible for drafting, reading, understanding, and providing feedback on governance proposals. They ensure informed and active participation in the DAO, and token holders can choose delegates who align with their interests.

The Wormhole ecosystem consists of a network of developers, users, and partners working together to build and expand the Wormhole protocol. It includes a variety of applications and services, such as cross-chain lending and yield farming, that utilize the Wormhole protocol to enable seamless asset transfers.

NTT is an open framework that enables the seamless creation and transfer of multichain tokens, maintaining ownership and contract upgradability across blockchains. It eliminates the need for liquidity pools, associated fees, slippage, or MEV risk.

NTT uses Wormhole Guardian infrastructure and Global Accountant to enable multichain token balance integrity checks, giving access to a global, synchronized token state, and eliminating the need for liquidity pools and associated fees.
