Wormhole, developed by Jump Crypto of Jump Trading Group and launched in 2021, is a cross-chain protocol for the secure and efficient transfer of data and tokens across blockchain networks. Initially facilitating the bridge between Ethereum and Solana, Wormhole V2 has expanded to support over 30 networks, aiding more than 200 applications with interoperability for tokens, NFTs, and governance. It enhances the functionality of decentralised apps across different chains through the transfer of assets and sharing of data, featuring Wormhole ZK for enhanced security and Wormhole Queries for efficient data access.
