"Nearly three years ago, Wormhole was launched with the vision of a world resembling the one we see today. Where the relentless expansion of blockchains is not a niche transient trend but an enduring transformation. Where Fortune 100 companies onboard both public and private blockchains. We reaffirmed our commitment to this vision by launching Wormhole Labs, dedicated to advancing the technology that makes efficient blockchain-to-blockchain communication possible," said Saeed Badreg, Co-founder and CEO of Wormhole Labs.
Since its launch in 2021, Wormhole has become mission critical infrastructure for many of the industry’s biggest blockchains and projects. Wormhole has facilitated the transfer of over $35 billion in value and regularly processes over 2 million cross-chain messages across 30+ chains every day.
