Wormhole delivers flexibility and simplicity in a decentralized ecosystem, without compromising security. SECURITY IS NOT A CHOICE. The timeline is surfacing longstanding design criticisms that led to the LayerZero exploit: insecure defaults, centralization for operational convenience, and lack of circuit breakers. Wormhole’s architecture is built to address these exact security failures. Wormhole has two cross-chain token transfer products: - NTT, the configurable token framework that powers products like @sunrisedefi and is trusted by institutions and organizations like Apollo, Ripple, Solana, Monad, and M0. - WTT, the interconnected token bridge that has enabled billions of value transfer across major ecosystems like Solana, Ethereum, Base, and Sui. By default, Wormhole requires a decentralized network of 19 independent Guardian validators running in-house RPC nodes to come to 2/3 + 1 supermajority consensus (13/19) to approve cross-chain transfers. NTT and WTT have two additional defense-in-depth security features: rate limiting and on-chain accounting. - Rate Limiting: Asset issuers building on NTT can set their own on-chain rate limits to detect and delay unexpected cross-chain transfers. Wormhole’s Guardians set the rate limits for WTT based on recommendations and analysis from Wormhole’s security team @asymmetric_re. -On-chain Accounting: Cross-chain transfers are first sent to an on-chain accounting system that limits withdrawals to the maximum supply minted to a chain. This feature could have substantially limited the blast radius of the rsETH exploit. Wormhole contributors operate multiple internal and external off-chain monitoring and alerting systems and continue to ship new security features. As exploits become more sophisticated and are assisted by increasingly advanced AI tools, critical blockchain infrastructure must advance at an even faster pace and be built with multiple and robust layers of defense. Hard-earned lessons have shaped how Wormhole operates: stronger defaults, hardened systems, and a relentless focus on security.
