The Wormhole network, originally conceived as a bi-directional bridge between Ethereum and Solana, launched its mainnet over the weekend.
Wormhole said its project has since evolved and found use cases such as non fungible tokens or NFTs, oracle market data, governance, voting and more.
On the wormhole development, Denis Vinokourov, head of research at Synergia Capital, said, “The need for [a] scalable network is needed right now, as opposed to years away as is the case for Ethereum given its much needed undergoing transition to PoS [Proof of Stake],” reported CoinDesk.
It is notable that decentralized finance or DeFi tokens like Terra (CRYPTO: Luna) and Solana have largely shrugged off the negative news surrounding the $611 million Poly Network hacking and continued to move higher.
