Wormhole Foundation company
Overview
Wormhole is a cross-chain interoperability protocol, and the Wormhole Foundation is the entity that stewards the protocol and its W token. Wormhole describes itself as the connective layer that moves assets, data and applications across ecosystems as if they were one, and its product set includes Connect, generic Messaging, Native Token Transfers (NTT), Queries for cross-chain data reads, and Settlement for cross-chain transaction finalisation. As shown on wormhole.com in July 2026, the protocol connects 45+ blockchains — logos on the page include Solana, Base, Arbitrum, BNB Chain and Avalanche — and has enabled $68 billion in all-time transfer volume. W is the protocol's native token, providing multichain access within the ecosystem. Wormhole's page highlights institutional users and partners including Google Cloud, BlackRock, VanEck and Apollo, reflecting its role as the interoperability layer used to distribute tokenised funds such as BlackRock's BUIDL across multiple chains. Wormhole originated in the Solana ecosystem as a token bridge and expanded into a general messaging protocol spanning 45+ chains. It has since been adopted as the official interoperability provider for tokenised real-world-asset products, including moving BlackRock's BUIDL share classes across networks.
