Wormhole Deep Dive

Deadline: November 5th, 11:00pm IST

About the Bounty

Wormhole is a decentralized, universal message-passing protocol that connects to multiple blockchains. In simple terms Wormhole allows different blockchains to communicate with each other. It addresses two of the main problems that plague blockchains today:

  • Tokens are hard to move between blockchains without relying on centralized exchanges for bridging and swapping tokens. However, this means users are subject to counterparty risk.
  • Decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts on different blockchains cannot communicate with each other, making interoperability between chains difficult to achieve.

Wormhole solves this by monitoring several chains for messages emitted by smart contracts on those chains. This is achieved through the Wormhole Core Layer & enables cross-chain communication protocols like token and NFT bridges, cross-chain oracles and other messaging applications that would not operate without Wormhole's infrastructure.

🎯
Your Mission: Become an expert on Wormhole and summarise your findings in a written essay . Highlight projects that are using wormhole today & explain the impact of cross-chain capabilities on their product/protocol. Include ideas of existing projects or potential use cases that can be improved with wormhole’s suite of cross-chain capabilities. Summarise the competitive landscape including threat & opportunities for wormhole. You're welcome to write this review individually or in teams of 2. Bounties will be split among team members.
