Core Functions of Wormhole Connect 🛠️
1. Token Bridge 🔄
Locks assets on the source chain and mints Wormhole-wrapped "IOU" tokens on the destination chain. When assets are transferred back, wrapped tokens are burned and original tokens are unlocked.
2. Token Bridge Relayer (Automatic Routing) ⚡
Through relayers, users only need to execute one transaction on the source chain for tokens to automatically arrive at the destination chain.
3. Circle CCTP 💲
For USDC transfers, Circle enables native token transfers between CCTP-supported chains without needing wrapped tokens..
4. ETH Bridge 💎
Leverages Uniswap liquidity pools to transfer native ETH or wstETH between specific EVM chains.
5. Gas Drop Off ⛽
Relayers can automatically convert part of the transferred assets into gas tokens on the destination chain, resolving the issue of users lacking gas for transactions..
Multi-Chain Support 🔗
Wormhole Connect supports multiple blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Avalanche, BSC, and more. Different chains support different features, see the official multi-chain support matrix for details.
In the upcoming lessons, we'll build a cross-chain reimbursement application using Wormhole Connect, exploring how to leverage these features for a smooth cross-chain experience. 🚀
