Practical overview
When it fits
Use Wormhole when an application needs to transfer tokens or messages across blockchain networks, or when developers need a documented route for adding multichain transactions to an app.
Who it is for
- Developers integrating cross-chain token transfers into applications.
- Teams building interfaces for multichain transactions.
- Developers creating applications that send and receive messages across blockchain networks.
Documented uses
- Create cross-chain token-transfer workflows with the TypeScript SDK and Token Bridge.
- Add a multichain transaction interface to a React application using Connect.
- Develop messaging contracts that communicate across two testnets.
- Explore infrastructure for native token transfers, intent-based settlement, on-demand on-chain data retrieval, and governance solutions.
Requirements & limits
- The TypeScript SDK and Token Bridge are the documented route for token-transfer workflows.
- Connect is presented as a widget for integrating multichain transactions, with a React app tutorial.
- The messaging tutorial covers sending and receiving messages using contracts on two testnets.
- The documentation lists additional products for native token transfers, intent-based settlement, on-demand queries, and governance.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Explore a Wormhole token-transfer workflow
Use the Wormhole TypeScript SDK and Token Bridge to create a workflow for cross-chain token transfers.
Before you start
- Wormhole TypeScript SDK
- Wormhole Token Bridge
Steps
Open the Wormhole documentation.
Follow the “Create Token Transfer Workflows” tutorial to use the TypeScript SDK and Token Bridge for cross-chain token transfers.
Expected outcome
A token-transfer workflow built with the TypeScript SDK and Token Bridge.
Guide limitations
