Wormhole vs Polkadot Bridges - EL DESPERTAR SAI

Wormhole Protocol is a non-custodial multi-chain infrastructure that enables fast transfers of tokens, NFTs, and data across 30+ blockchains, including Polygon, BNB Chain, and more.
Its architecture is built on a group of independent nodes, requiring a two-thirds quorum to validate and sign each message. This guarantees trustlessness.
The protocol is audited, with security audits conducted by recognized auditors like Certik. A generous bug bounty program encourages community involvement.
Developers benefit from flexible messaging, which enables use cases like NFT minting. Its SDK and tooling make deploying cross-chain dApps modular.
Wormhole’s Token Bridge supports ERC-20, SPL tokens using a lock-and-mint model with full payload preservation.
Use cases include:- Inter-chain financial apps- Multichain NFT transfers- Proposal broadcasting- Cross-chain queries
Despite a major exploit in 2022 involving $326M, Wormhole Bridge has since improved its resilience and remains a leading protocol in the Web3 space.
Whether you're a DeFi user, Wormhole provides the protocol layer to bridge ecosystems with security.
