Overview
Wormhole Foundation funds and guides open-source, decentralized tools that connect Web3 securely. It stewards Wormhole, the first generalized cross-chain messaging protocol. Wormhole enables apps to send messages and data across different blockchains using a single interoperable framework, so developers can build multi-chain apps without chain-specific bridges. Its goal is to enable secure, seamless cross-chain connectivity by supporting open standards and governance around Wormhole, distinguishing it from centralized or single-chain solutions.
