Legal status in Ukraine:
Wormhole $W has no specific regulation in Ukraine, because it is not exactly a blockchain, but a protocol for transferring data, tokens and NFTs between different blockchains. Software such as the W token is perfectly suited to future legislation on virtual assets, but in the current chaos, its place is in the "gray zone".
Investors:
Among the partners and users of the platform are such titans as Circle and Uniswap. The platform has already processed $40+ billion worth of transactions — this speaks volumes about its trust among institutions and projects.
Technology:
Wormhole uses a network of Guardian nodes (19 selected validators) that ensure the signing and validation of transactions. All operations work on the principle of Proof-of-Authority. The main features are many innovations:
Wormhole ZK — implementation of zero-knowledge proof for additional security.
Native Token Transfers — Tokens can move between blockchains without liquidity pools.
Wormhole Gateway for Cosmos and Wormhole Connect for easy integration with dApps.
Comparison with competitors:
In a world of crosschain solutions like Polkadot $DOT or Cosmos$ATOM , Wormhole stands out for its speed and simplicity. Instead of creating its own blockchain, it builds bridges between existing ones — faster, cheaper, and with lower liquidity risks.
How many x can give in 2025?
If Wormhole continues to develop its technology and retain key partners, the outlook is bright indeed. Luck may reward the patient, but remember: in the crypt, no bridge is safe from arson.
Hype, but keep a cool head!
